Worst offenses when your watches were serviced?
By: ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ : May 25th, 2018-03:01
I had a few of those during the past few years. These happened with different watches at authorized dealers in Zurich or at the respective service centers of the watch manufacturers in Switzerland. - Bezel scratched while performing routine water resistan...
It happens...

I have watches that came back with scratches at the sides - which I think is caused clamps - because they are symmetrical. Also had watches that stopped after a few days. Got to bring them back to check again. Then there is a time when the AR coating unde...

scratched rotor, mark on the dial, ruined lugs ... All from top luxury brands service centres . One brand put it right, another refused. Sold the one from the brand that refused and will never get any of their pieces again even if given to me for free. It...

If you need an other adress from a Rolex watchmaker working in a Rolex dealer for 25 years, where I send my watches too, i can give you the address by PM. He also do what you want, but no compromises in quality, no quick repair, only full movement service...
Timing off
By: rnaden : May 25th, 2018-04:25
The worst I’ve ever had was when I sent a watch in to fix a timing rate that was running 2 mins per week too fast and it came back running approximately 5x that and a bent pin buckle added into the fray. That brand no longer exists in my collection becaus...

It’s not always bad I had sent my Blancpain for service and 16 weeks later got it back in perfect condition even including new strap My AD was great in managing the service
Exceptionally Poor Service From Blancpain
By: Rocky F185 : May 29th, 2018-10:32
The one and only time I sent my watch to Switzerland for service, it took an agonizing 18 months from the time I sent it in, to the time i received it back. I was warned by several watch aficionados I knew to stay away from the brand because of their repu...
Thanks for this.

I understand why we respect each other’s taste in watches, avoid comments re prices etc and are generally very supportive or each other’s experiences. Not so sure why we show such respect to brands/ dealers. I find it very helpful when members detail poor...
I’m in the “don’t unless absolutely necessary” camp
By: cazalea : June 8th, 2018-07:15
I sent a Rolex Day/date for service requesting the day wheel be changed to English from the original Spanish wheel. After 6 months I got it back, unserviced, and was told “NO. It was made with Spanish and must remain so.” That cost me half a year and they...
