after attending this workshop, participants will be able to better understand the reason what a complete service at an authorised service center comprises of and why it is so expensive to have it done at the ASC.

most important, they will learn how to take care of their watches and reduce servicing cost and be able to make a better decision where to bring their watches for servicing next time round.

So, just watch...no hands on?

[Bergeon]

not possible to have a rolex for everybody to take apart unless participant is willing to take apart his own watch.

proper disassemly of the watch case including backcase, bezel, steel ring, crystal, bracelet, crown with stem and removal of movement without damage is already a challenge to many watchmakers and repairers.

unless it is put together as an advance course.
