I got this Memovox from my father. it needs a new crystal and it currently runs about a minute a day fast. Zaf, could you give me an idea of the cost to replace the crystal and service the watch.  |

Typical cost is $275 to $300. The watch is completely taken down to the last screw. Thanks, Zaf |

Thanks for the prompt reply. How long would it take to service? Can the dial be cleaned? |

Your dial looks kind of nice, I'd leave it alone. Turn around is 2-3 weeks, thanks. |

Hi Zaf: I got back my JLC Memovox,it looks and works great. The dial looks also very good after you changed the crystal, you were right that we should not touch it. You did a great job! Thank you. Ricardo |

Great...What kind of accuracy are you getting on the wrist? It looked like we might bet lucky and have it be very accurate, looked great on the timing machine. |

Sometimes you get lucky. That is atypical! |
