Ever had to send your favourite watch for service? Just got mine back
Just got my IWC Le Petit Prince chronograph back from service and I am so happy to have it back.
This is by far my favourite watch in my collection, so being away from it for awhile sucks. The watch has a significant meaning for me and when I purchased it in my life. I feels brand new and keeps time better than before.

Yes.
2014 Seamaster 300.
Had it serviced at the start of the year . Took 3-4 months and cost £490ish.
The wait was the most painful part!!
Felt like eternity!
But absolutely worth the time & money, it's basically a new watch.
Runs + a couple of seconds a week (!) .
Would recommend to anyone keeping on top of servicing, better than getting another new watch imho 👍🏻
Thats a beautiful watch, enjoy it feeling like new again 😊
Love that Watch, it’s on my list of “wants”. I’ve not sent any away yet but dreading when I have to
Not yet. Hopefully not soon 😅
Had my Reverso out for service for over 6 months!

6 months?? Damn that’s a long time. I feel lucky that mine was about 3 months!

Yeah it looks brand new and Im enjoying it now more than ever. Mine took about 3 month and costs 72,000 yen. Which is about SGD $650.
I sent it in as I passed 5 years of ownership.

Indeed it was
I’ve had several in, Rado, GP, Omega and Ball. The Ball service was initially slow and poorly done, needed a redo. All of the others went well. All were at the manufacturers.
