I was thinking about buying a Hanhart earlier this year, as they offered mechanical chronographs at a price point that I didn't see many, if any, other brands offering their mechanical chronographs at (Japanese brands excluded) but I noticed the only Australian dealer had bumped their prices by $150 in late February - early March (from $3,050 for the TachyTele to $3,200), which is fair enough, I guess, but I just checked yesterday out of curiosity, and the prices have gone up by another $400...

Is two price hikes within a few months normal for a watch brand?

I have a CAF1010, which is an ana-digi model (ETA E20.321), and I plan on sending it to TAG at some point to have the battery replaced, gaskets checked / replaced and the exterior cleaned, as it is a bit dirty from the previous owner.

As far as I can tell, the watch is running perfectly with no issues, the digital display is a bit dim for my liking, but that's probably just because it's a negative display and I'm used to positive displays.

My questions are, is the complete service worth...

M1 partial maintenance vs M2 complete service for quartz chronograph?
