    Longines Legend Diver Service, Longines or Independant ?

    My Legend Diver Date has stopped working, I would like it serviced and polished to look like new again. Would you send back to Longines or an independent ?

    My understanding is that Longines service costs are quite reasonable so I'd go that route.

    Yes, online says around 230 CHF, probably about £200, sounds cheap

    Can I ask if it stopped working due to a fall, or not being used for a long time?
    I have for a long time been tempted by the legend diver, so intrigued.

    Just not been used for a long time, got it out of the safe and it doesn't run

    Very strange if it was running OK previously. Give it a few winds, give it a shake, it should run. I've had watches in storage for over a year and they've run OK, but they ran Ok when they were put away.

    Fully wound it up, but it doesn't start. If I give it a shake the second hand will move a couple of seconds and then stop again

    Broken balance staff?

    Has it been dropped, or could just be very dirty though unlikely,

    I had my LLD serviced by Longines in July last year. Just checked the invoice and it cost £212.
    Pleased with the service. Quick turn around and good communication. Arranged it all through the website.

    I spoke to Longines (Swatch Group) this morning, £215 for service and polish, they're even sending me pre paid packaging to send the watch off to them. Only downside is it will be about 6 weeks
