And you thought you were picky!

This guy recently posted over on the Purist, expressing his dissatisfaction with his newly purchased Panerai - OK I know a gen 309 is a lot of money to drop on a watch but....... would you loose a watch for 4 months for this?

using my 10x loupe, i discovered numerous places on the movement bridges that appear to be "stained" or "smudged" as you might put it. (Rocketeer - my edit: - further on in the post it appears that these are slight fingerprints)
........................ as time passed, i begin to discover more places on the movement with this fault, and other faults too, such as the ink on my serial number on the movement bridge having "air bubble " ..........So i decided that i shouldnt accept such crappy work, ..............................
In any case, i have to say goodbye to my 309 for probably the next 4 months at least, but well if all goes well i should be able to get it back at the start of the new year.

Panerai have accepted this watch back for a complete overhaul :roll:

I'm gonna save a copy of this guys whole post, and the next time I end up having to negotiate with a supplier over a duff purchase, I'll show him what 'picky' could be :lol: :lol:

this is the type of thing you ask for as a manufacture selling 500.00 watches for thousands. when you charge unjustifiable prices you get customers with unjustifiable complaints, it's called buyers remorse. lmao :lol:

On the other hand you can say that Panerai has a great customer service because honestly who checks their movement and watch with 10x loop???
