The Watch Thread - Part 6

Spreading poison...

love the safari dial, looks better in real.

It does not make sense if the in-house expertise cannot service their own brands, i don't think the brands can survive for so long if their cant handle their own product servicing, only variable is the quality of work given.

Asking people why they want in-house vs OEM movements is pointless.
Some drivers choose alfa bcos they like driving them even though it is full of problems, some choose toyota bcos servicing is easy and affordable.

My experience with so many brands so far have been painless (JLC, Zenith, IWC, Omega), nothing went wrong except the service pricing keep going up

Also i did not keep looking for faults in the watches, unless it is very obvious (my omega apnea is a lemon, chrono did not work out of box, took them 1 month to wait for parts from Switzerland).
enjoy the watches as it is, thinking too hard about "in-house vs OEM vs modified vs hybrid vs whether-is-it-worth" is just complicating it.

U got a pt there, but personally perhaps i m discouraged by the quality of service i get for my watches .. If they can't service a basic watch with basic movement , how about those with more complications n in house watches ?

My iwc with a dent in the dial was in service centre for close to 5 mths , ended up with some smudge in ar coating that I choose to ignore . I have to make several trips to rsc to get my tudor fixed. A simpe dust removal in case back of my omega result in a damaged dial.

Granted my timepiece may not be a exclusive or haute luxury pieces but treat it with a little respect

maybe i m just plain unlucky to receive so many lemon pieces or i m too anal? i don't expect 100% perfection but for brand new watches i believe most of u will expect no glaring issues ?

Juz some pang gang ranting

No lah, AP doesn't use ETA movements.

It's their in-house 3120 movement in there. The same movement as the Royal Oak 15300 and 15400.

Lol didn't know. Thought the watch quite simple and basic. So 19k goes to the case and design. With in-house, ain't that bad.
