Gathering interest for new service.

[Nikz19]

Perhaps moving outside of watch repair to a full blown dealer is something that you would have talked to @trailboss99 about?

Absolutely, that’s why this is just a “gathering interest”
Not super different from what we do sometimes, custom builds ordering the watches from Mainland. The only difference would be having them in hand directly, but of course if it ever goes through it will be spoken.

Considering that I have first hand experience of Sead's EU stock and repair service, I certainly like the idea of having another similar option.

Not because Sead was bad or something. Quite to the contrary: The fast delivery of merchandise and fast handling of a warranty issue with said merchandise was actually quite outstanding.

And new competition is always healthy for the free market!

No brainer! Such a nice unlock. Can you ship CONUS?

Even IF this has a green light and/or it’s possible and welcomed, I wouldn’t recommend that. In my mind it’s mostly to give EU customers peace of mind when it comes to waiting times and customs issues.
Being a US resident you wouldn’t really benefit of those conditions

I'm totally in for this mate

After a small chit chat with the staff, this service will be put on test to see what’s the consensus.

Watches will NOT be available for purchase unmodded so don’t even ask for that- they will however presented stock and not being worked on till the order is confirmed.

Will update everyone in the next few days, meanwhile it would be appreciate to know which watches may be the most interesting for you so I can start getting an initial stock that will be replenished weekly/monthly.
Thanks!

Great news. What is considered a mod?
would a movement service qualify? or does it have to be material changes?

 

[Nickyan]

And will the business of sending you a watch to upgrade/ service still be continued?

Following... if the prices and the service offered will be as stated, you have a customer here.

This sounds fantastic.
Nikz, if the watches are advertised as stock but wait is needed for them to be modified after payment, how long can people expect to wait roughly please for the works to be completed? I know you're a very busy/popular watchmaker.

Yes, it’s considered a mod. Anything that differentiate the watch from being stock. Having it serviced and waterproofed qualifies.

And will the business of sending you a watch to upgrade/ service still be continued?

Yes, of course. That’s my core/main business and will always be.

This largely depends by what needs to be done. A service may take days, based on how loaded with work we are in that particular moment. Ordering parts is another piece of cake though, estimated time will be provided case by case.

I think Subs are a must, won't go wrong in stocking with Subs.

Congrats on this new venture. Having new watches available to be modded in the EU is a dream come true for some people. I hope it all works out great.

 

[Nickyan]

Probably most anything from R factory.

 

[DimKar]

For sure.... Great idea
