quality control issues

Hey
ive been a fan of corums so I decided to pull the trigger on the ti-bridge a little while ago. Upon wearing it for less than a week the buckle broke to pieces after just normal wear to the office. Sent it out, happened again, sent it out, happened again. Then sold it.

Friend of mine bought a admirals cup and the same crap happened to him over and over again, the buckle broke and wouldnt stay together, looked like it was put together with glue rather than a solid buckle.

He sent it back mint, I saw the watch before it went out. He had worn it probably two weeks, got it from an AD and everything. When he sent it back he had to wait about 2 months, and they told him the watch had a ton of scratches, issues. He then corrected them and they realized after speaking to them for about an hour they were looking at the wrong watch.

step it up corum.

Corum (re)Considered

Plugging “Corum” into the search function here at PuristSPro yields some pretty lean results. There is virtually no discussion about the brand or its watches, and until I saw some of their new watches recently, I too had never really given the brand much ...

thanks for your report

A fan of the golden bridge

But the rest is not quite my taste. I do have a admirals cup fm few years back, but haven't seen light of the day since. Will retrieve them and post my thoughts on them. The golden bridge is very iconic, and I still wear it from time to time. My lack of p...

With the exception of the Golden Bridge collection...

...of which my favorite variant is the solid dial, because you can actually tell time with it, there's nothing particularly compelling to me about Corum's watches. The Bubble watches always seemed too goofy and carnival-like. These new Admiral's Cups piec...

How unfortunate!

Hopefully, Corum will look to positively address these issues going forward. It's always disappointing when our watches don't live up to expectations. Cheers, Daos

Sybelite, please check your email

Corum requested me to contact you and put them in touch with you to see what went wrong. Best, Anthony

I'm always sorry to hear stories like this....

especially when things are not corrected in a timely manner. One of the reasons Corum is taking control of distribution in North American (from a distributor) is to better control service and after sales support. Bill

sorry to hear that. all my corums are still in good nick and never had problems

By: Hororgasm : January 26th, 2011-01:06

other then the golden bridge, the others are all using pretty robust ETA(?) based calibers, so i dont think its a huge problem. best, Horo

I admit having specifically liked the blue/colourful nautic dials ....

... while the new dials appear to me like the U.S. Navy lo-vis painting schemes that made modeling and collecting aircraft pictures a rather boring hobby. Regards, Marcus

Chiming in - what I like about Corum

By: Nomer : January 29th, 2011-05:52

I have to admit to not being a Corum owner but I have recently noticed the brand and this is primarily due to the Bridge collection. What Corum did here is very appealing - they managed to create a model that simplified a watch to just its component parts...
