Hi Henabi,
Excellent Advice, learnt some key things from you already.
1) She always liked ultra small rectangular faced watches, hence the selection. My regret is that I didnt get the watch while we are in Switzerland, mainly because I didnt know what I should be looking for.
2) Saw some postings about Longines being part of Swiss Group in SG. After sales service was stated bad, because its not the "top tier" brand compared to Omega and other high end brands.
- Will ask again where are the diamonds are from and what is the rating of the diamonds. What about crystals? is there some company/branding of diamond and crystals i should feel confident about?
- There are certificates issued for the diamond to certify they are real diamonds on a separate warranty card with the serial number intact. will share when I have it.
- will share on diamond chips /drop warrant coverage.
- This is a good one! Demand for the watch to be replaced with a brand new battery, since its a quartz movement watch, battery leaks will destroy the watch. I will get them to do this.
- Will check for any potential scratches, markings, chips on the diamonds etc.
3) Watch Warranty
- Offered by Swiss Group at Habourfront
- Duration: 2 years watch internal, 1 year battery.
- Will check what type of servicing are covered under the Warranty.
4) Will check on other brands, just dont know where to look.
5) Be served
- According to him, the 20% discount is a private discount offered by him, and Swiss group will penalised them if found out that the watch is selling at this discount. I still feel its fishy, maybe some brothers here know if this is a usual practice?
- 20% discount is much more than the Standard ones.
- According to him, All the watches are tag with serial numbers including diamonds in their system. And Swiss Group can trace back to them using the warranty cards, did I miss out anything?
Yes very well said below, learnt something today and its become interesting.
Lastly, enjoy the whole Experience.
Buying a gift for the most important woman in your life is never an easy task but at the same time, it could be alot of fun as well.
