Presumably a GP Cal. 34 (since it says something like that on the chronograph bridge - although that may be some other numeric reference). Which would be nothing more than a Valjoux 23 (or Valjoux 72 if it has an hour totalizer as well).
Thank you for all the replies. I take your point about spotting catastrophes and not gems, and that it's hard to tell from a poorly exposed picture. Thank you for all the observations.
How much would it cost to service/repair a movement like this? Obviously there must be a range, but any kind of rough estimates? Are parts readily available?
It doesn't say where you're from. Servicing a watch (any watch) costs mostly the time (hourly rate) of someone who has a great deal of skill and experience, and the more "complicated" the watch, the more time, skill and experience is required. Chronographs represent the most "complicated" of mass-produced consumer watches, so the cost will be at the higher end of whatever the scale is in your area.
I service my own watches. Last time I got a quote (which was for an old waltham pocket watch) it was in the $300 range, but that included parts. And that's why I do my own watch repairs now.
Thank you for the info. It's great you can service your own watches
I'm happy to send the watch away for service, so I'm interested to hear how much a service/repair of a valjoux 72 might cost in other parts of the world. Obviously I understand it can vary quite a bit depending on the work that needs to be done, but a ballpark figure would be great. Thanks
