Accutron Spaceview repair and restoration is our SPECIALTY, including case re-plating services. We professionally handle all types of restoration projects, with over 65 (combined) years of experience!

Vintage Accutrons have been a favorite or ours since 1995 and we repair approximately 1,000 Accutrons each year. We employ a full staff of watchmakers and jewelers, each of whom is a highly skilled and Certified or Master watchmaking professional. All have received specific Accutron repair training from a Bulova Corp. watchmaking instructor. In addition, it's mandated that each of our watchmakers attend continuing education classes either at AWCI or WOSTEP in Switzerland. This is essential in staying abreast of new technologies and advances in the field.

Old Father Time is a full-time, brick and mortar establishment. We must adhere to the very stringent requirements of Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. in safeguarding our customer's assets while in our possession.

Spaceview Repair Warranty
Unless otherwise stated, Old Father Time Vintage Accutron Repairs are warranted, to our customers, for timekeeping, for a period of six months from the date of original repair. While perfection is always our goal, no warranties are, or can be, made regarding achieving the accuracy standards of timekeeping asserted by the original manufacturers when these watches were NEW. Timekeeping is adjusted as originally prescribed by the manufacturer at the time of return shipment to the customer, and has been found to be consistent for at least 7 days prior to shipment. However, it is mutually understood that these watches are now antiques. As with any finer timepiece, and as is clearly stated in the Manufacturer's literature, adjustments to timekeeping ARE SOMETIMES necessary after any repair or overhaul and while the watch adjusts to the owner's normal use. We've found that adjustments can also be required after "rough shipping". New problems can also arise after the initial repair is performed . We will, therefore, make timekeeping adjustments throughout the warranty period as needed, however, our warranty does not apply to wear and tear, abuse, or tampering, and excludes batteries, case, strap or bracelet, crystals, electronic coils and return shipping costs.
**Spaceview Repair Form may also be used for warranty repairs.)

The individuals we like to refer to as "Internet Watch Plumbers" warrant only their labor, which seems to mean you get no warranty at all. Our warranty is for "Timekeeping Accuracy". That's as broad as it gets.
