After striking out a few times, I recently found a watchmaker who was impressed by reps and was eager to service them. Keep at it.
CONGRATULATIONS!! The world.. is now yours enjoy! and make sure to keep that relationship happyAfter striking out a few times, I recently found a watchmaker who was impressed by reps and was eager to service them. Keep at it.
i'm actually at a conundrum and it falls in here not in its own thread..
basically, as i;ve said before.. everyone does come to a point where the question must be answered: at what point is it even worth it to service a rep?
case in point.. one of my treasured reps is my Little Hero Panerai 111H.. it's been my go-to vacation watch and have been in more oceans and waters or this world than I care to count at this point..
but it's "Broken".. it definitely needs servicing.. my local watchsmith charges like... $298? I think or $236..? whatever.. it's upwards of $230+.. a "new" 111H right now due to sales ca be had for $218
so do i fix the watch?! it's got a lot of memories but another 111H would serve its purpose if I wanted
sigh.. maybe it's time to let it go.. i haven't had it fixed yet tbh but yeah.. this is one of those age old questions.. junk it or fix it
and funny enough my answer to everyone else is basically the same.. junk it. it's a fake watch. if it'll cost you more to fix it just buy another fake watch
lol i'm staring my own answer hard in the face now
Good advice. I prefer listings with "Double Plus Happy AAA Three-times Good Good!!"Stay away from words like "certified", "authorized" & "CW21", you'll have better luck finding a smith. You want Grandpa smith not CW21 jimmy.
