[johnfish]

I've a friend love his Power-Reserve Pam56 so much that he worn it "Eight days A Week" > Beatles ?? Hehehe. But one fine day, he encounter his Pam56 pwr-resev. maker/indicator can only go as far to 3/4 on the teardrop bar . In tis case, conduct a self test by winding the pam hundreds of turn to the max. charge than let it run down at stationary check to ensure it acheive 42-45hrs. Yes" he may wish to send in for minor caliberation on positioning issue if Pass the above test or "Let it be". Afterall it still telling good times & working fine unless otherwise.Cheers"

>>> Sorry typo error <<< is the pam57 instead. LOL!

whereee is bro John?! got song to let GO now!!!! "Let it Be" by BEATLES!!!! Hehe joke aside...if i were you i call Richemont ask if this is common. I remembered my 90 PR tear drop goes to zero if power all drained out..if SC say its common than dun bother. Unless u start to notice too much time gain or loss than time for SPA!

Thanks bro.. Yeah mine used to go down to zero when the power drains out too... but recently noticed it did not. It does not affect the accuracy of the time though. Maybe I will wait and monitor further, then decide whether to bring to the hospital or not.

It's a tough call. Some will just letit be, others will want it fixed. Your preference. If under waranty then surely bring it back.

Thanks to all bros who helped with your useful comments. The watch ain't spoilt; just that I noticed lately the power reserve pin does not "go down to zero mark" even though it has no more power to function. You think this calls for a service/repair or just bear with it?

Kuchingu is right if your watch working well and nil condensation inside with only light swirling scratches then i really think you shd not waste the money to service and polish of course unless your watch is down then better get repair fast.
I can understand the feelings and frustrations when my watch stop working, my car breaks down, my HP is KAPUT... upset:
My usual advice is dun touch if it ain't spoilt...

For Richemont, basic movement servicing cost around $500. For Pam 90 (PR), think cost more.

Down time is around 1 week plus.

They will give you a 1 year warranty after the servicing.

Why do you need to service? Watch stop moving or something drop off. If watch is running fine, then not necessary.

I alw recommend JW watch, John Wang. Probably one of the best in Singapore to repair and service watches at half the price. But if you are thinking of reselling at later stage then Richmont the one. Buyers were certainly pay higher if you service at agent no matter wat watch brand. http://www.jwwatch.com/

x2! JW John my recommendation too!! like wat bro itsc says,if plan to reselling it you may wanna consider relevant SC for better resale value.
