SIHH Report 2009 -2012

[golanheights]

Let's build a Sing Risti community here..

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)

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..

Pls read my post to Ms Pat.
My views on Panerais is my personal experience, you had better experience that is good to you. Do not reply with personal attacks to me. You can quote your own stories too, you can brat your gd experience with them in your post i dun care. You can adore them too. But my post is my own views, if you quote my views and using the sentence NO ONE IS ASKING OR FORCING YOU TO BUY ANY BRAND OR MODEL it means you are attacking me with your views!

Like i said, you can post your own stories but do not quote me. I'm not against you before , so i do not expect your personal views quoting against my post.

[itsc]

Every brand has its own followers.If you dont like the brand and it's ok.
I believe Panerai has a big group of followers.

I m just stating the true facts here ....
Those who know me here... I dare said i own more than 50 models of Panerais alone. Is becos i own so many of them, i m in /out of Panerai centre very often.

I would like to quote my encounter with Richmont Singapore.
A year ago i bought a PAm250 new model with the latest quick release strap change case. Within weeks the so call quick release pin stucked and my watch head dropped. I went to them with my warranty and to my surprise i was told to pay $4000 for replacement case.
After that it was a long long to and fro email between them and me for months till finally they accepted that it was their manufacturing fault and absorb the repairs cost!

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!

Try going to Chopard or Patek or AP or Rolex or breitling or Omega or any other cheapo brands servicing centre and you will see the difference.
If i'm stating the facts here and you shd not be bias against me, afterall we are their customers and it is their duties to provide excellent service. Stating the facts and bringing it out to all ppl here to read is for Richmont to see and improve their services too.

I'm with you people here, many of you out there owns a Panerai, we all want Richmont to do something and make their watch brands value for money.

I still have panerais in my collections, i can still tell you i have been their followers for past 10 years, I want all ppl who read this article and panerai fans or supporters give me your supports so that the AD can improve.
I'm not against this brand.. i only want a good after sales service from them. Courtest staffs, not exhorbitant servicing cost and repairs n certainly not your bias stand against me unless you are their staff which i find your name familiar....

How not to like PAM 339 yah...

339.

47mm, brown dial, black case and what a dial!

How not to like this piece.

It is not a function of like or dislike.. etc etc. It is a function of market pricing and willingness to pay.

There are many brands out there, pls buy them

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.

The words "Marina Militare" refer to Royal Italian Navy.

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.
