The Analogue clock is not working. I almost gave an approval for replacement before I was told the eye watering quote of 51,000 INR including GST.

Service B Update:
MID started showing service B due since beginning of April but could not spend time. My E200 has run 25600 kms and Finally got the quote and did the full service B with all filters and fluids changed.
- Self Sourced parts : Brake-fluid (Brembo DOT 5.1), Mercedes sourced AC filter and Air filter all the way from Munich. The museum in Munich is worth visiting for and sourcing such parts. The price converts to almost same or higher than Mb Workshop here. 16,000 INR
- MB parts from service station : Engine Oil, Oil filter, Transmission Oil, Transmission filter and Gasket. INR 52,657
Total : INR 68,657/- , which i feel is ok for the satisfaction of work done as per MB standards. The performance of the car post service is felt and now i can feel the effect of Remap. The car feels, lighter, smoother, quieter and ofcourse faster.
They checked the entire car and found 2 main issues:
- Front stabilizer linkages needs replacement, but I was informed that It can last another 5K and they were too busy to replace. So postponed.
- The Analogue clock is not working. The clock needs to be replaced only and can not be repaired. I almost gave an approval for replacement before I was told the eye watering quote of 51,000 INR including GST.
I am looking for a solution for starting the analogue clock in the car. We have a belief in family not to keep the clock in stopped condition. However, My mind is not convinced to spend 51K without ensuring that it really has an issue and replacement is the only solution. Any help from other members would be helpful here. If you know any source of procuring at cheaper price, do let me know.
