SIHH Report 2009 -2012

...
A fact is a fact. Their service counter staff is rude, this is a fact.
Their servicing cost is more ex than Rolex or GP or AP or PP or cartier and so so so.. this is a fact for watches that are just eta movements !
Their after sales service is terrible and this is a fact!
...

Agree totally.
Hopefully they will improve.

I recalled a similar case from a collector who approach me for advise.Was it u bro? We brought tis issue to South East Asia Managing Director.Finally,the Service Center came back to us & replace the entire case FOC . I share your pain Bro" itsc". My personal view on brand "Panerai" is ther innovative design over size case.They set the trend to Big watch fashion.There are still room to improve on their multi level mangement after-sale service department worldwide. U have great taste on many others watches. Perhap ,u move on to other joyful playground is the right choice Cheers bro

Haha Johnfish, you rmbr that incident. Yes is was me. Wasnt it ridiculous to made me paid for case $4000 when watch is under warranty? the quick release strap removal pin is built inside the case, it was obviously a manufactured fault and richmont wanted me to pay $4k for it!
Yes luckily you gave me the email to the south East Asia MD, he was more than helpful and send a stern email to SINGAPORE RICHMONT to get my watch repair free. Else i would had to play damn hard on them to the extent of bringing them to court.

Just an advise to bros here, be careful with the new casing, if the pin is stuck your watch is as good as gone, replacement is set at minimum sgd$4000 if your warranty is over.

As for Mr Fred and Ms pat, pls start with new post to worship your favourite brand, praise watever you want. Gentlemenly I assured you even if i will to criticise, i will not quote you and pass personal remarks on your post.

Back to SIHH 2010, i can see some of the watches are mix and match from certain models.
We can only dream of owning these watches unless you are willing to pay premiums on them, as usual no stocks from HourGlass and Sincere watches.

Hello John ....So can order from Hong Kong and put names on waiting list ? Local Ad i think tankuku. Have put my name for few models already with hourglass but since 2 years not a single reply even tho i knew the manager.
Maybe i shd befriend the MD and the CEO.

Hi Concentrated magnetics...

My AD treats me very well and I got excellent service from the Richemont Service Centre when I send my PAMs in for service.

In fact, I just called my AD yesterday to order the 351 and to confirm that I'm on the waiting list for one of the SE's

Looks like u r still on a roll..... rolling, rolling...

Hope u r queueing for the PAM 339...as I said... ya nick shld b concentrated magnetics..

[dilutedmagnetics]

Congrats Remember to show us when you got the watch

Dino

Sure Dino! Estimated pick up is in third quarter for the non-SE

[johnfish]

It's your comment, " None of the Rad floats my boat" & yet, the 339 appeals to you. Isn't the 339 a RADIOMIR?

It has nothing to do with the MM wording.

Thanks John for giving us the first glimpse of 2010 SIHH.

Just sad.....Too many models from Panerai, not exclusive anymore.
Prices getting even higher, local AD alw no stock, PI sell at a premium above list, after sales service terrible, Servicing more ex than a Rolex.

Servicing a Rolex daytona White Gold chronograph only $800, to service a Panerai chronograph steel minimum $1000 !!!

After sales service ROLEX, CHOPARD, PATEK and AP provide very excellent good service.
Recently went authenticate my Patek 5167 only $30 plus,
Changed my wife Patek 24 battery only $50 plus give free light bluffing.

PANERAI TIME TO WAKE UP AND PROVIDE BETTER AFTER SALES SERVICES, MORE POLITE AND PROFFESSIONAL FRONT COUNTER STAFFS.

For me... 339 takes centre stage... haha..

What a systematic listing of the new models!

It is interesting .. to wait and see the prices of the first few PAM 339s when they arrive worldwide.

Bro ITSC..


It started off as a SIHH 2010 thread.

The Sing Risti, or Pam admirers, can come in and say their feel of the new launches. It is not necessary to apple polish and croon good tunes of the new models. Everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes.

Personally, I am not in love with all SIHH 2010 releases so far.

It is ok for you to express your views of the service centres. I have heard an amount of offline comments aligned to your views on that. You could alternatively start a thread as a separate title on the service centre etc, subject to the moderators' review.

Pat, Fred are quite passionate about this brand. So, if you come in on a SIHH2010 and start "k-ing" the service centre.. it is a little bit out of tango. You know what I mean.

..............................

Now, let's focus on SIHH 2010 new releases......


.................................................

Other than P.com, I believe we can build a Sing Risti community here...
(whether someone is a so called collector, flipper, dealer, keeper, buyer, seller, investor, whatever-or or er.... let's try building this Sing Risti community here)

Thanks Golan for your neutral comment. Ya of course i agree with you, it was suppose to be my personal views, like you said everybody entittles to their views and comments as long you dun quote, mention, point fingers to a particular person. i pointed my views and real life experience for ppl here to read and be wary. But there are someone who quoted me, i treat this as personal attacks on me .
Anyway i hope Ms pat and Mr Fred could continue their great expectations on Panerais. Is your personal admirations, i will not comments on that.
So like wise........

[golanheights]

....... Ok, ok... frenz... back to SIHH 2010....

My dear fellow Sing Ristis,


We are fellow Singaporeans and PRs on this forum who enjoy this brand.

We learn a little from the Yankees frenz on P.com. Don't "k" each other over a SIHH 2010 thread.

In Hokkien, "loon" a little bit.

Otherwise, a joyous SIHH 2010 thread becomes.... not so joyous.

Steady.

Back to SIHH 2010, folks.

I send many watches to Richemont in Singapore for repairs and service.
Never had bad experience.
There're hundreds of watch brands & other hobbies.
No one is asking or forcing you to buy any brand or model..

In your post Panerais for sale, no millesimation 4,5,6,9. this is your preferences, your rights. We all respect you. Most ppl do not mind that, as can see from *** and SG-ROC, you are the only buyer and seller who ask that, what is wrong with 4,5,6,9? we dun criticise you a weirdo right cos we know individual ppl have thier own liking. So likewise you can said what ever you like abt Panerais as long you dun quote my post.
