Service is mandatory and you will know this as you have sent you watch to service for an overhaul and not repair ( this is what I gather from your last sentence ). Little mishaps can occur and I am sure you take it humour. A picture of the whole watch would also be appreciated here. Best Moritz

MervC,
Unfortunately PM is unreliable and automatically deletes your details for security reasons.
I recommend you use the link to their Client Report form as provided by Chopard in their reply.
