boneill32 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 anybody used trusty for watch servicing? specifically http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=1275 seems like it would be convenient to order a watch and have it serviced correctly at the same time.

Toadtorrent Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Welcome to RWG. As much as we have recommended dealers here with things like servicing and waterproofing, the usual consensus here is not to believe it especially f it involves you having to pay extra money. The belief (though rarely confirmed) is that no work...or dirty work will be done so you would be wasting your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 My theory is...$120 for somebody in China to service my watch...to which I would still want to have it pressure tested in Canada...or $200 to have The Zigmeister service mine? Hmmmm...tough call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guanaco Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) It's a blatant lie, I bought the 'waterproofing' service when I was a noob [my 1st rep] and when I had it tested my watch smith told me I could shower with it, but I should forget about swimming with it. Like Toad said, buy a watch and get it serviced in your country by a local watch smith or one of the forums watch smiths, might even be cheaper and definitely much more reliable than taking the dealers word for it, specially Jandrew's.

boneill32 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 that's good info...thanks for the honesty. i keep reading that The Zigmeister is the man when it comes to servicing, but i can imagine that he can get somewhat back-logged if he's the only guy servicing an entire online community. just looking for alternatives.

Toadtorrent Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 ...just looking for alternatives. That is the problem!!! If you're in Europe, there seem to be a couple more options there than in North America. I'm lucky The Zigmeister's 1 day's post away for me!!
