The postie has just called bearing gifts.

About 10 days ago I sent my Avenger Seawolf back to Breitling. Basically it had been running a touch fast (2 or 3 minutes a week) ever since new, and I'd managed to pick up a few light scratches on the case/bracelet from wearing it almost 24/7 the last 2 years.

Anyway I sent it off to Breitling UK and asked them to regulate (calibrate) it, and give it a proper clean and polish. I expected them to charge me but it arrived back here this morning looking absolutely brand new, regulated, and in a really nice Breitling logo'd travel case - all completely free of charge!!

I was planning to sell it when I got it back but now I'm half tempted to keep it!

Thanks Breitling.

Hmmm wonder if Omega would do the same for my seamaster......

Anyone got Casio's address?

Tags address please. what did you do you send it back with a simple letter and your address? recorded delivery or other carrier I presume? Didnt bother giving any card details to be charged with or anything? Mines nearly 6 years old now and could do with a service.

Iwan

PMs responded to.

Sorry no idea about Tag or Casio, you'd have to ask at one of their official dealers for info, or look on their website.

Thanks

Well done Matt. I can't say for Tag but for Breitling I called their customer service number first to have a chat about what I wanted doing. Then I sent the watch and the warranty book back to them with a covering letter, fully insured with Special Delivery. For Breitling, if there's any charge for non warranty work they ring you up and quote the price, and get your confirmation before going ahead with it. Then they ring up again and can take credit/debit card details over the phone before sending it back to you. In my case they just did everything under warranty and sent the watch back to me in a nice new case, again by Special Delivery.

They didn't even charge me for shipping it back.

You can of course just take a watch in to a local official dealers and they'll send it off for you. But I doubt if you'd get any cool freebies that way.

This is now officially up for sale, full details and photos here.

I wonder this too for my Seamaster.
Also (a little off topic) but How oftern should a Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer be serviced?

Iwan

From www.omega.ch

I have a Seamaster and as stated above for a seamaster is a max of 5 years if its the Chronometer, although I would do it at 4 years. Omega Europe are said to have a very good service department.

Although not a fan of Breitling as they are a bit to bling for me you cant moan about the service you got, especially the freebies.

What are you getting as a next watch then?

JTaylor

Sent my vintage Rolex Air King off for a service a couple of months back. Came back looking as good as new.....£280.....thanks Rolex

My Rotary is fooked. I smashed it against the stairs at work and it's a right mess

Iwan

I'm a fan of NASA/space watches, so either an Omega X-33 or another Omega Speedmaster Pro 'Moon Watch' like I had before the Breitling.

Although I won't be too disappointed if I don't sell the Breitling, I still really like it.
