[louie]

why not it's service centre?

JW just shifted their shop and was closed for a week so this may consitute to the longer lead time.

The screw driver that came with my Pam broke 2 days back. I noticed that the screw pin can be replaced. I barely used it, is it covered under some warranty or will Richemont replace out of good will? I called them up and this rude woman said must buy at $35.

Screw driver prob NOT covered under warranty, I'd even expect it not to be.

Go buy a new good one at Passions Watch, prob same price or go a hardware store and get a set of Jewelers Screwdrivers at $5.

JW new location at International Plaza at Level 2, near escalator. Just next to Tanjong Pagar MRT.

btw, called up watchklinik and leadtime quoted was about 3-4 months also

seems like there's a huge backlog for watch servicing here...

fyi....

hi wankie, my advice is send it to it's respective service centre. Reason been they have the right tools for your watch, and secondly they have standard procedures to follow.

To have a piece of mind, send it back to its service centre. My submersible was ready for pick up for less than 10 working days full service at Richemont.

Btw i just brought the screw driver frm Richemont for 35 dollars, ye i broke mine too.

The tip is replaceable with regular tips. Richemont only sells the whole screw driver.

The original tip breaks easily.

If you don't mind DIY , you can file the tip to a regular flat head.

If I'm looking to get my Panerai polished. Does the service centre do it too? How much do they charge if it's still under warranty?

[Dannyboyz]

Bro,

They do...But you will have to pay even if the watch is under warranty. You can call to check on pricing:-)

Cheers

When I sent my 321 for servicing, was quoted $130 for polishing.

Cheers

hey bro dannyboyz, can PM me how much richemont charged u for the servicing of the 321? is it more ex cos it is inhouse movement

[frichen]

Any bro can advice will it be cheaper to quote someones name for verifying of pam or rolex at JW?
Or the same price applies to all?
