Well,this is my first attempt at this.
The topic is quite true.I am the owner of a watch made by a very upscale,inventive and at one time a profitable watch company.Unfortunately,it exists,,,,not.
As standard operating procedure this company wanted you to go to their Authorized Dealers for repairs,and possible replacement parts.This problem is compounded by the fact very unusual tools are required just to replace a strap.
The company,Wyler....the watch an El Camino..
Who out there has a possible solution for me,since no A.D's exist.I desperately want to replace the strap,but no jeweler,or watchmaker for that matter will touch it.
In its prime,they made some extraordinary pieces,especially their tourbillions.They were overpriced and they simply believed......."If you build it,,,,,they will buy it".what a shame
