Title: Spoilt Tissot PR50 - third party repair shop
Post by: jugheadbinjones on August 16, 2010, 04:20:17 PM
Dear all,

This is my first time posting in MWF, heck, this is my first time posting in forums too, yes, I am a noob both in watches and forum posting.

Anyway,

I've purchased a Tissot PR50 a few years ago for about RM700, and the watch quit on me not too long ago, and repairs cost almost RM500, which is obviously too expensive, anyone knows of a good third party repair shop?

If repairs fail, am looking for an entry level ORIS F1 series, any good recommendation?

yeah, been eyeing that one, slightly overbudget, contemplating to strech, there is a cheaper model though.

take care of the bezel, easily get scratch and ding.

Bought your tissot for rm700, and repair cost takes rm500 - simply not logical (not worth) imho.

Save your $$ and tops it up to buy a new tissot for all it worth...

my 2 cts

if this watch has sentimental value then i think it's worth to fix it even if it's cost you MYR500.

It's really depend, a repair cost you MYR500 and how about a new one? MYR1500? It's tripple the price that you going to pay. I say this if your objective is not to spend more but by buying a new watch will cost you more then that.. Totally thinking straight from the spending/$ point of view. But if you like to get a new watch, why not?

And i assume MYR500 was quote by the authorize Tissot service center? If so, i think after the service/repair you can use your watch again for another 3 to 5 years?

Just my opinion.
