Togri v. 2.0
··Wow! Custom title... coolIn Berlin with the family.
First a tribute to Mad Dog. I tried to convince my wife to stop for coffee saying something about all these DD photos at the forum (everytime I mention OF she looks so tired😕) but she wouldn't. She would rather go to the Starbucks so naturally that was what we did.
I was however allowed to snap one of her for the forum.
And then myself while at a playground

·Now double dogging it by adding Speedy Gonzales to my Illinois Bunn Special Sixty Hour for today. @ChuckMK23 (who is also wearing his Speedy Gonzales) was a most kind host for a small GTG as well as cooking dinner for my wife and I at his residence...thanks again, Chuck! 👍

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.This week I got my watch back from regular service for the third time ! I have been without it since the middle of January...
No matter how Richmond declares after the first failed service:
"Be assured of our commitment to have your watch restored in perfect working order. For more security, we have decided to reinforce our process of tests and controls before it leaves our workshop.
At this moment, your watch is in the final control stage. It will take 2-3 days before we know if the movement is functioning well within the limits of Cartier."
they still did not get it right ! This time they had made the very basic mistake of misaligning the hands so that the chrono seconds touched the minutes hand every time around half something so that the watch stopped.
No answers to my questions, etc. Very poor service ! If you refuse to sell parts to other watchmakers so that "you can assure the quality work" = monopoly, then Richmond should make proper service without continuous basic mistakes...
Now I barely dare to wear my watch, looking at it all day and wondering what will break next ?

Keep trying...she'll come around sooner or later! 😉

·Which service center was this? Had a similar frustration with Dallas Tx on my Montblanc a couple of years ago. Took them three trips to get it right.
Sorry to hear that they do the same "quality" job also in their other "service centers"...
CARTIER BENELUX & SCANDINAVIA
Email: [email protected]
Richmont service center in Amsterdam Is responsible for "screwing up" my watch. It was sent there twice and the latest "beginners error" was corrected by my local AD. The local AD has their own Cartier trained watchmakers, but are not allowed to service watches with more complex calibers...My watch has an basic chronograph movement by Frédéric Piguet (1185) used by other high class manufactures like AP, VC, Blancpain & Cartier. As long as I have owned mechanical watches (my Pascha from 1999), part of the experience has been that you have been able to talk to your local watchmaker about your collection and the service needs. Now that part has been mostly taken away (not by Omega) and you are left at the mercy of an anonymous corporate giant who only cares about new sales and offer poor and unprofessional aftermarket service... Do they understand how much they hurt their precious brand value ?
