My grandfather passed early last year and I was recently helping my grandmother go through some things. Found his Bucherer from the 1960s (which he hadn't worn since he could get rubber Cassios for $25 each) While it still runs, it runs very, very fast (minutes per day). The back says that it's both antimagnetic and shockproof. Front says it's COSC certified.

I'm wondering if, in spite of the engraving, it became magnetized at some point, though I'm sure there are other reasons for a watch to run that fast.

Any thoughts on a good independent watchmaker in the Chicago area to take such a piece to?

Sutter's is a Rolex Service Center, but I'm sure that they can work on most other models. I would expect them to be reputable.

Not anymore. And not a fan. Let's just say after they serviced my watch, RSCNY had to redo it under service warranty.
