Check out the video below.

Although he didnt mention the brand but we all can see he is repairing a Rolex.
But looks like he is wearing a Bulgari Diagono?

So what does everyone thinks bout what he said in the video?

I not sure about watchmaker in Malaysia generally but I know that some independent repairers are very well known for their service provided. Some of them are official repairer for certain brand (low to super high end). I send my tutima to this person for quote and the price he offered for full movement overhaul & new gasket was fair. Checked his feedback on the net and most are satisfied with him.

 He can source new dial/hands/bezel from the manufacturer for me if I want to and I get to keep the original if i choose to do so (his quote "Its your property anyway" ).  Unlike some company who do so on exchange basis. Eg I change new parts but most give em back the old parts.

I had a fellow collector whose vintage omega diver watch had broken crown/winding stem. The watchmaker/service center actually go look for it (not easy stuff to do) and managed to get hold the parts from other far end of the world.  :thumbsup:

@Peter: Just curious, is there alot of indie rolex service center in US?

As far as i know only ONE which can issue an official Rolex warranty and has full access to spare parts.

I have used them twice in the past. Their price is same as RSC. But people like to go to them because of location.

Do you mean the one in San fransisco? Guessed the watchmaker are accomodating to the wearers instruction ?
