Question

I am having problems with my 1911, roughly 5 years old, it just stopped working. I sent it in and was told it needed an overhaul, it was gummed up from the lubricant etc and was told that that needed to be done every 3 to 5 years. I told what are you kidding me at 560.00 repair cost.I told them that I have a tissot automatic that is almost 30 years old and never needed service, and that the price I paid for this most beautiful watch,almost 5 grand, it should be almost bullet proof.has anyone had similar problems?[e-mail]
