Wrong Extract
Sep 11, 2017,06:01 AM
I just received my Extract from the Archive and it was TOTALLY wrong. Wrong watch altogether! I called HSWA and in less than a week I had the correct Extract. If I were you I would call to have it corrected. You'll be able to keep the old "incorrect" for your amusement.

Thanks for that. If I can keep this extract as well as get a replacement, that would be the best of both worlds. Contacting them tomorrow.
Amazing piece.

I'd probably request an update to the extract, IF you get to also keep the fun one. Best, Brandon
Funny typo indeed

First, congrats for your watch back from service that you wish to wear. I wouldn't think something special about the mistake on the extract except maybe if one day you wish to sell it for a reason or another. A potential buyer, if he notices this typo, mi...
I agree

While I do appreciate the human moment, I certainly would also want a proper extract. Wrote the service center and they were very apologetic and said they were expediting a reissued archive from Geneva. Will see if the terms of collecting this new extract...
