Hamilton Electric Watch-“ELECTRIC AVENUE WATCH REPAIR”-Convert 500/500A to 505

Description

PUBLIC SERVICE INFO: A 505 with “good balance spins free” does not mean in any way that the balance is good so, NOT TRUE. A 505 watch “not running probably just needs a battery” is also, NOT TRUE. Last but not least “Really clean movement probably just needs a battery” again, NOT TRUE. It’s the parts that you cannot see that need refurbished. If a 505 is not running it probably won’t run without being repaired. If it does run with a new battery it’s on borrowed time.

The most important thing you need to know is that I understand sending your watch to be repaired is not something I take for lightly but trust me it will be safe. It’s your baby...believe me I get it. There are many things that can cause a 505/500 or similar electric watch movement(Ricoh/Vantage/Buren/etc...) to stop functioning properly. The hairspring being replaced can make it run fast/slow, a bad/worn contact can make it run erratic or only dial side down/up, foreign objects in the movement, missing parts, or even a bad coil can lead a 505 to not run properly. I can repair any of these issues and will do my best to converse with you through the process and let you make a decision about how you would like to proceed. I will try to keep your cost as low as possible.
Your watch needs diagnosed and that is free you only pay return shipping. If you decide to not get your watch repaired I will refund your money and return your watches.
-I have your best interest at heart. I love these old watches like you and can be trusted to take care of you.
THE WATCHES AND MOVEMENTS IN ANY PHOTOS ARE ONLY EXAMPLES OF MY WORK AND ARE NOT IN ANY WAY INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING!
READ THE FOLLOWING AND IF YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO PROCEED,
MESSAGE ME PRIOR TO BUYING THIS LISTING
SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU MIGHT NEED.
This listing is for Hamilton Cal-505 electric watch service including new gold balance contact installation. There is a gold contact on the balance staff of every 505 movement that is wearing out over decades of use. That’s why we always stress “hack them when not being worn.” If your 505 watch is all of a sudden running erratic, running fast/slow(when it was running in time a short while ago), runs dial down but not dial up, or has completely stopped running there is a good chance your gold contact has worn through and needs replaced. This is the best I can do to explain some possible symptoms that are caused by a worn contact but it’s impossible to completely diagnose a particular watch until I have it on my bench. There are many other factors that could be making your watch run poorly that it is absolutely necessary to see it in person. I can provide references if you’d like. I’ve done hundreds of 505 watches so have no doubt I will repair your watch 100%.
1) You mail your watch to my secure post office box.
2) I diagnose the issues and contact you before doing any work.
3) I repair your watch and ship it back. Simple and easy.
If you decide not to proceed for whatever reason I’ll ship your watch back and refund your money 100% minus return shipping. If we proceed and any additional worn or broken parts need replaced it will be an additional cost. I have plenty of spare parts but I find a lot of watches don’t need additional parts. It depends on if something or someone has caused damage other than normal wear. I do my best to be fair and keep costs as low as possible so you can enjoy your watch but if another technician has caused unnatural damage, you might need parts. What I am offering is not a simple cleaning and lubrication job...this is a very specialized procedure that will be done to your watch. Cost for standard COA(Service) & contact replacement is 5+Shipping. As you can see in the last photo the gold balance contact and lead wire are micro in size and very delicate. If by chance your contact is in good shape and all you need is a cleaning the cost will be significantly less. If your watch has been worked on and/or modified by someone there is a chance you will need a new balance assembly. I see this all too often. Send me a message and get your 505 watch fixed here the right way the first time. You have my word that your watch will get my utmost attention and will be safe and secure while in my possession. My shop takes up the entire top floor of my home and has a safe where your watch will be stored when not being worked on. Quick turnaround times in most cases you watch will be back to you within 2 weeks of its departure from you. I will ship it back safely to you with insurance and signature confirmation without exception.
