Hi and welcome,

Stewart is correct - this is really high.

The text you have cut and paste into your post looks like its come from Tag Heuer - is that right? From my own experience, they charge far too much and are prone to suggest changing parts that don't need to be changed at all. Further, do not always respect requests to change with vintage, or at least sympathetic, parts.

Through this forum you'll find others who can do this work at a fraction of this cost and will understand the need to keep original parts where possible.

Good luck!

all -
