Are we expecting too much from an imperfect world?
Thank you gentlemen for your listening ears, I feel much better now. Having sleep on it (the matter, not the watch!) for one night, I 'm left thinking whether I'm expecting too much from services in general. Perhaps I should just accept that perfect servce do not exist and move on. And stop "being anal" as others call it. I can probably dremel my case back to perfection (which I think I'm capable of), use leather cleaner to clean up the strap and live with the tiny hairline scratch on the dial. Sending it again back and forth may end up worst? I certainly felt the watch aged over this 2 weeks... Weakness?
I will however, continue to be a big fan of Breguet.
Newbie with Type XXI dilemma
A warm greeting to all! I have been reading th purists forum for a few years now and have learned a great deal from it. This is my first post and I'm hoping to seek opinion of fellow watch enthusiast on the issue I have on hand. I purchased a Breguet Type...
I have just had a very similar debate (see below)...
on having a small adjustment made to a Type XX that i recently bought from breguet. I too am obsessed with having a spotless dial and my hesitation with having the watch adjusted was largely a function or whether it would come back in a different conditio...
Thanks for your reply folks
Thank you for your replies. I am still very hesitant... There is no doubt that the watches are spotless coming out of the factory. That is somthing I felt might be comprimised if it is not handled properly @ service. Yes I'm very particular about dust, an...
I understand your anxiety.......-->
I understand your anxiety. I, too, am a perfectionist in that way. What I would do if I were you was to send it in for service, putting in writing that the dial was clean, etc. and had this signed by both AD and I This would mean that if something went wr...
On a positive note, you can't see the blemish...
...unless you run the chrono. However, since the watch is new and service is a long time away, I would opt for getting the center minute hand replaced now. As an owner of a XXI, its beauty is second to none and deserves to be free of imperfections. It wou...
ok, I have made my decision
Thank you all for your comments, which helped mould my decision. I have decided to send the watch in and get it fix. Sound too much like a leap of faith for a simple thing like that. Silly me?...
Tough But precise...
Tough But precise decision.......... Hi, just want to share with you my experince with my 1st panerai.I bought it for about 2 weeks,and noticed that the power reserve indicator's nite luminous peel off from its hand.Ya.thats totally unacceptable. well,in ...
in the same shoes ; )
Glad to know all is well for your watch. Nice one you got there! PAM93?
SWATCH Messed up my watch!!!
I'm actually so upset that I didn't feel like talking, but just had to vent it out. I took the leap and send my watch to SWATCH service centre to rectify the OXIDIZED minute counter hand. I had the choice of sending it back to the factory or have a set of...

Happy or Sad Ending?
Hi all, First and foremost a very warm hello to everyone. I have not been very active on the forum lately due to life's other commitment but felt really bad about not providing a closure to this post. My apologies that it took me so long to do it. So to c...
Just a little recount
I recently purchased a La Tradition from a local AD, didn't notice anything until I got home and took out the 15x loupe to "admire"my new baby. Upon closer inspection, i discovered that the entry pallet had a AIR BUBBLE in it, to make matters worse, there...
Replaced, wow!
Hi aaron, thanks for your post. You're very luck to have you watch replaced! Anyway, I already got my watch back in 2008, just posting to provide a (very) belated updated. The same service staff attended to me then and she's nice. I guess both our encount...
