Q & A : Servicing Panerai Watches

[seiko.citizen]

i think service in SG

12 weeks??? I think they take out every single parts of the watch and "service" them... 12 weeks huh... is that 3 months???

[seiko.citizen]

12/4 = 3. so yes, it is about 3months

[Hary]

If the difference is not big, I would rather go to agent. Service invoice from official agent can command few dollars more incase you want to sell your watches later on.

Right! JW quote = $350 for servicing + 100 plus for parts = $450~500. Worst still 3 month to do the job which really put me off. Anyway end up going to Richemont for the servicing

Bro, seems like the difference not so big... go to richemont lah... furthermore, 12 weeks cannot see and wear your watch.... u how can tahan.... mine also send to richemont for servicing.. yah lah, expensive.. but I feel more "AN XIN"...(i.e. ease at heart)...

[flagship]

That's true bro!

Can't be 12 weeks. Must be change of important parts such as the crown tube or etc. parts from swiss.

maybe ETA is 12wks, but usually they can finish earlier??

I agree with you. Eta should be earlier about 2-4weeks.

hi guys,

normally, when u send ur watch for servicing, they will tell u 4 weeks or 12 weeks, but dun be surprise that u can collect it much much earlier.

take my rolex for example, when i sent it to change the dial and service, they told me 4 weeks but 1 week later, they say the watch is ready for collection.

and recently, my gf cartier got problem as the power reserve is less than 20 hrs but under warranty, when i sent it to king centre, they told me 7 days but 3 days later, it is ready.

i chipped my FM's crystal recently...was told i shld get back my watch in 4 weeks...now 6 weeks liao...just called them and they're regulating my watch..but no complaints cos they cld have just fit the crystal and get it over and done with..instead they bother to check the mechanism also...thumbs up for this!! oh, for those who're interested in knowing teh cost to replace the crystal>> $600+

My Zenith also got prob...so now it's in Switzerland and i won't see it for 12weeks...watch keeps running 15mins fast...after a recent overhaul...according to them, they may change the movement so have to send back to factory...starting to miss it liao...

[cedric]

Bro... u cannot tahan liao lah...12 weeks away from you.. in a far away land...

[seiko.citizen]
