how long to repair a watch at JLC?
It has been a few weeks now that Stephanie from the JLC Boutique has send my watch to the Service Center and after that I have not received any news regarding the repair time, problems etc.
I am getting a little nervous and I am not really happy with the information update provided to me from the Service Center. Since this is my first broken watch I do not have any experience with repair time, feedback etc.
What should I expect from a company like JLC regarding the repair of my watch? Are all watch companies that slow or hesitant in providing at least some kind of information about the time piece in question? I am working in the service field myself and if we provided no information to our customers for such a long time we would be long out of business.
Maybe I am just very disappointed that the 1000 hr tested watch broke already after 250 hrs of use, which is really hard to imagine. Therefore its even harder to imagine that the Navy SEALs could really depend on a watch like this in real life. I was very gentle with the watch, never hit anywhere or did anything to it, no shock etc.
Hope I hear something soon and I will keep you updated.
PS:
Does anyone know how much the titanium bracelet costs approximately? I could only get the articulated rubber when I purchased the time piece but I think I like the titanium bracelet better.
Thanks for your response and hopefully someone car cheer me up a little....
Problem with Navy Seals Diving Alarm
My newly acquired Navy Seals Diving Alarm stopped running after using the alarm feature the 3rd time. After winding the alarm the watch stopped running. It started again after playing with the alarm feature for some time - letting it ring, winding again e...
Sad to hear that
I agree with you on the fact that it is really frustrating to receive a watch which doesn't perfectly works, and more, which obviously has a problem. But on another side, I don't know any Manufacture which has 0 problems. It would be better, of course, to...
We cannot possibly expect 0 Problem or Fault
Oh yes, I would be frustrated and I would chant in the desert too. But we must be fair and tolerant. Let alone all the tests those watches must pass before going to their unknown destinations, all the tremendous handling our watches go through after depar...
Agree with both posts
these things can and do happen even to the best there isnt one brand which has 0 problems, i know how you feel because i have experienced this first hand with another, it turns you off the brand completely, but once you understand how these pieces work an...
Thanks for cheering me up
I know that this things do happen - even to the best most prestigious brands.... Its just different when somebody else has the problem. Hopefully I will receive good service from JLC - I am expecting a new watch, since mine is only 2 weeks old and I don't...
Sorry to hear of your issues.
Like many have already written, problems can occur with any brand. It's not acceptable, but it's (unfortunately) life. It's the way they're dealt with that matters. Let's hope it returns quickly so you can get on with the enjoyment of wearing it. You say ...
I totally agree with Nicolas
before your trust is gone, it is only reasonable to allow JLC the opportunity to address the issue. It is also totally unreasonable to think that there can not be an issue with a mechanical device, especially when it is new. This is Earth not Utopia. -- R...
So far no response from JLC
I has been a few days now - but so far I only have received the automated mail from JLC and no other response. Maybe I am just dreaming that this should go faster.... At least the sales associate from Singapore called last night offering help. Will keep y...
I had a similar problem....
with a watch (I will not name the manufacture) where something did not work the same evening I bought it.... things sometimes happen.... what is important is how the manufacture deals with it.... cheers
Sorry to hear you got problems!
I have mine since more than 6 month with no problems at all. Hope it works out OK for you! Best Blomman
JLC will make sure that your issue is taken care of.
I had an issue with my time piece some time ago. JLC handled everything very professionally. I would recommend using one of their reps from a JLC boutique. This worked well for me. Did you think that your watch came with an "antireflective glass" prior to...
Hope you are right
When I purchased the watch I did not pay attention to the reflections on the glass. I would assume in this price range that a reflective coating should be the norm since I have cheaper time pieces which have coatings on the inside and outside. Therefore I...
I was also guided...
By a very helpful gentleman in our forum to contact the BH boutique. They will help you with this manner for sure. Let us know how it goes for you plz... B well, Matrix.
Send the watch to Beverly Hills
The agent from Singapore arranged a contact with Stephanie from the Beverly Hills boutique. I have send the watch to her already. She seems to be very nice and helpful. I told her that I would like to get a new watch and no repair since its only 2 weeks o...
Stephanie is a very nice person
And I can tell you that she will do the best for your watch. Nicolas
Hello jcb_frnk....
Sorry to hear about your problems and hope things get resolved quickly. Very curious about a few things. Did you get the watch in Singapore? Did your original AD of purchase attempt to deal with your issues directly? Strange that they would direct you to ...
AD in Singapore
Singapore has a BIG selection of watches and during our recent vacation I looked at many different time pieces in various stores. There is no selection of any kind where I live, the few JLC watches or other brands are 9 hours round trip by car away and th...
Stephanie from BH...
Is also whom had helped me with my issue. As Nicolas has said, you will be taken care of for sure. I do agree with you in that JLC should be responding directly to you via email at least re this disappointing concern of yours. Keep us in the loop on what ...

Ask Stephanie about your repair, she will get the information and keep you updated. As for the price of a Titanium Bracelet for your NSA, it is around 1000 USD. Best, Nicolas
Poor service quality
You're a fine gentleman with kind patience. It has been too long. I do not think you deserve such kind of poor service. Stand-by you.
8 weeks are too long?
Wow, I hope you will never have to send a Vintage JLC to the Service Center, it will take 12 months! Seriously, send a watch to AP, PP, VC, Breguet, UN and so on, and you will see how many months it will take... 8 weeks look reasonnable, in comparison. Be...
thank you Nicolas
Thanks for your reply. Seems I have to wait another 4 weeks for the watch. The most frustrating part is the lack of information from the company. If they told me how long it will take, what they are doing to it etc. - that would really go a long way in cu...
Don't get me wrong, Frank
Yes, there is always something to improve, with every brand. And Yes, you're true, you should be informed on what has to be done on your watch. But if you call stephanie, I'm pretty sure she will be able to get all these informations for you. Actually, 8 ...
Service times
I experienced the same problem - the Navy Seals watch stopped when operating the alarm. The AD followed up - got the watch send through sevice. In all it took around 7 to 8 weeks - I am just glad it is back and now functions as it should and keeps good ti...
the problem is not the repair time but luck of information
Thanks for your reply! For me the main issue and major reason for the frustration is the lack of information feedback. If anybody told me up front that it will take 8 weeks to repair the watch and they would give me some kind of information in between tha...
Repair time
I appreciate your frustration. The AD kept me informed, but I have also learned from experience that service takes a long time and so does a repair - so I had no expectation of getting it done quicker than 8 weeks. Now it is back and works flawlessly. It ...
