Servicing watches not at Auth service centres..

Just wondering. Some pre-owned shops have their own watch makers. Hence, a lot of them dismantle and service them.

I always tht that this is ok for preowned watches that are already out of warranty. Reason being that its cheaper. But what about shops selling preowned pieces that have been serviced by their own techs?

How they service in terms of the parts? if oil oil here oil oil there should be fine. But if say Rolex and they need some parts, etc. How do they get those parts? Assuming they use their own parts. Wouldnt that make it non original already?

Now if I were to bring this watch back to RSC, (most preown dealers will say no need lah cos working mah). Would I face issues?

how they get is 'trade secret'. they wont tell u.

RSC will service your watch so long as everything is original.

but what happened if its another brand?

I am targeting an IWC at the moment. But seems like servicing is done outside the Auth service group. What happens if nside have a bit of unoriginal item or something?

Would it cost me more to service the watch when I bring it back? I don wanna get something and end up have to service at other place for the rest of my life

might be cheaper but I wont know what they do with the watch inside as well as the parts they use.
