Title: Watch Service Shop Recommendation
Post by: kygan711 on December 17, 2014, 08:06:19 PM: Hi all,
I got a mont blanc automatic watch which I think require servicing. It's been with me for 5-6 years, the watch seems to be slowing down or stop when it's off my wrist although it's got a power reserve of 40 hours when I pick it up the next day.

Any reliable shops which you can recommend ?
Any idea on the gap of cost of service between watch repairers in Amcorp Mall vs The authorised Mont Black service center ?

Thanks.

That's terrible, how can they be selling fakes in a shopping mall, to unsuspecting customers, perhaps, too.

Post by: kygan711 on February 11, 2016, 06:35:42 PM: You guys can Pm chrisyen ( A member here ), he is still providing the watch service under malaysia watch forum although the shop is closed. I done mine with them previously and it was all good so far. About 1 week you can get your watch back.

Watches of Switzerland Repair Centre,

Good service and good price.
i think better compare whatever watches of switzerland quote with the sifus here.. i also dont agree that they charge you just for figuring out how much to quote u for what might be wrong with your watch..

I'd steer clear of them. They screwed up one of my watches previously.

And you should read their T&Cs. Basically, if they screw up your watch, you have no recourse.

Post by: Awee on January 22, 2017, 10:57:30 AM: Agree with feedback on TSC. Sent a watch for repair at the outlet at Amcorp mall and was charged Rm150 just to have a look at the watch. After one month, called them to ask about their finding, was told they cannot fix. Not sure if they even checked the watch. I finally took my watch to another independent repairer and he managed to fix it within a week. Considered the Rm150 as donation to TSC charity. Never again with TSC.

Got the same experience. Bunch of con men. Steer clear from them.
