I definitely avoid the ones near Chungking! And much appreciated about Raymond. I may have seen him before but never used his service. Will try to chat him up to see if he has any thoughts. Will keep you posted if it turns out ok!
Hi there, I recently bought 3 vintage watches with rather unique movements I’m looking to service and repair in Hong Kong. I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences or insights on this matter. The 3 watches I need to fix up are as follows: 1) Favre-Leuba Bivouac 53213 (1960s) -Peseau 320

From what I understand, untreated steel is much softer, while 316L used in most watches are harder. When measured in Vickers, I see that PT is 125 vs mild steel is 130 vs 316L steel is 155, which is nearly 25% different.
I guess to summarize my concerns: 1) color mismatch (not that worried as the case is brushed and the PT and steel don’t look too different on the Panoretrograph PT case vs the GO Panograph 21mm bracelet 2) steel (if it’s 316 or harder) being harder than platinum may have the endlinks grinding agains
