A complete overhaul for a diver watch at RM130 is really a good deal. :thumbsup:

Hi ericys, how long you had ur BM before u send it in for servicing? Any problem with it before service? Thanks.

Hi @bts, Actually the reason I sent it is due to problems with the date adjustment. There's a bit of free play in getting the first click in date adjustment. No problems with time adjustment. When the service centre recommended full overhaul and the price quoted was alright, I just told them to proceed. But it took slightly longer than a month due to high volume of watches to service.

IMHO, if your watch is working fine, you don't have to bring it in for servicing unless you are a dive instructer and go diving everyday with it  :D

Is it a good deal? that was about 15~20% of the watch price. I presume the watch is only a couple of years old.

@sshark, To be honest, I do not know whether its a good deal or not as this is the first time sending the watch for full overhaul. Hence I posted the servicing cost in the forum hoping other members can comment.

That is precisely what I want to know too even though I am doubtful. :)

I do not understand why Thong Sia is not bringing in more stock. Seiko USA is still selling this watch, so it should not be the cessation of production.

Why is that so? Was it because its sales and retailing price in Msia not good so they rather export it to America market?

Not sure why but the person at Thong Sia told me that they are not bringing in anymore.
