Does anyone own a Dunhill?

I've had mine for several years, and would regularly get it serviced it at Dunhill on Jermyn Street. However now I'm in the US I have to courier it to Dunhill New York for servicing, which after a few years will be getting expensive at over $150 a time with the postage!!

Trying to find ways to learn how to service / repair them myself if anyone has any tips / sites / books, please.....

Is it me or it that the most pointless waste of money?

$150 for a service would also buy you a LOT of disposable lighters or several good zippo's

now that is funny.....paying $150 for a SERVICE on the lighter that you use to give yourself terminal illnesses.

thats like having a TIffany & Co voice box when your throat packs up!

So that's no, so far.........

How much is a Dunhill lighetr worth?....must be worth a bit to justify faffing around servicing it....and spending $150 as well!!

Nice lighters if you're into that sort of thing.

Yeah, it is quite extravagant, but it's a luxury accessory, completely pointless and useless to some, but I've always liked Dunhill lighters....

My first one I inherited from my Great Aunt, and it would have only been worth about a hundred pounds at that time as it had had a lot of use and was quite old. I lost that one, unfortunately! Sadly I never got my hands on my Grandfathers lighter that he had in North Africa in WWII.

My current one I bought about four, maybe five years ago and I remember it being around 240 pounds.

They start around 180 pounds and go on to several hundred.......

It's hard to find anywhere on the net that will give you a run down of servicing techniques, and I don't want it blowing up in my hands!!!

Hmmm, like the silver one! The one I want at the moment is a nickel plated, very dark and plain finish, and it's quite a bit cheaper than that!

Aw, anonymous negative rep again.....

I guess I shouldn't tell you how much it costs to service my watch, then!
