Great points Thomas....

I do agree with your statements. I am sure if I ever had a serious issue with my Athys III it would be sent to Switzerland where it would indeed get serviced.

Bvlgari service in NY told me that certain procedures can be performed here and others have to be sent to Switzerland. The reason I said I think they didn't even open up the case was because it was done rather quick and the timing is almost exactly the same as when I dropped it off. Maybe just my luck.

If it continues I will send it back in mid year before the warranty expires.

Not saying they aren't collectors items now, but meaning will they be more sought after now because of what has happened. For me it doesn't matter as mine will stay with me forever....my wife would kill me if I ever got rid of it. After all it was my wedd...

There is sure to be a distinction...

no doubt between pre and post Bulgari DR/GG watches. I'm not sure how much of a "collector's item" the old ones will be. However, it shouldn't take away from what the new generation may offer. Members of Bulgari have made it known to us that we'll be "......

I will wait to see the products

even though they said, "...amazed by the new products to come (both in terms of design as in terms of ... content !)". I HOPE this is true but the dual logos turn me off. Yes my wife is amazing and I am very lucky. I did pick the watch though.

What worries me...

Is if one will be able to get the watches serviced in the future.... A

That shouldn't concern you

at least in the U.S. I had my Athys III serviced at Bvlgari in Manhattan in Mid-Late 2009. I actually don't think they even opened up the case. I think they just demagnetized it as it was running fast. I am sure for all the territories Bvlgari service cen...

AT this point, I wouldn't worry.

Hi, ATW, Aaron, I know of several people with GG and DR with Bvlgari at this time; service is proceeding as normal (they even kept Meyrin open just for service, though that too will be consolidated to Le Sentier.) No one can predict the future; does Autom...
