Montblanc

Given some of the reviews I've read here regarding Montblanc's customer service, or the lack thereof, and looking on other sites it's obvious it's not an isolated incident. What are everyone's thoughts about having your Montblanc watches serviced elsewher... 

Observer bias (also called experimenter bias or research bias ) is the tendency to see what we expect to see, or what we want to see. Todd, A variant is what we see with "online reviews" and star ratings. There is no denying that "stuff happens" and aggri...

Is it a personalized experience? Is it at a major hub where thousands of watches are processed? What do you expect the training of the staff to be? What is the work ethic locally? I can tell you that I would pass on the Dallas Richemont hub for servicing.... 

the reason I was asking is because something is wrong with my GreyTech. For those that remember when I bought the GreyTech a few years back, I only had it for about a month when the chronograph stopped working. Monthlanc went above and beyond and were abl...
