TUDOR: change of middle case in warranty causes a problem
Tudor: Scratches after using Cape Cod polishing cloth
Recent Comments
I've bought the watch for a very good price after some negotiation. And since then, the retail price increased twice. So the price I can eventually get can be close to price I paid. But its not the point. The point is the value is decreased no matter I keep it with damage or AD changes the middle case of the watch. And to be clear, all my watches, even few years old, looks like new, no major scratches or any damage.
Not so bad but the watch was before the accident like new. The damage decreases the value by hundreds or even thousand of USD/EUR and more...and since I will not pay the repair, it completely make sense to me repair the watch.
The main difference is direction of polishing. While I polished it horizontally, they did it vertically. But it now doesn't matter because on Monday when I was on business lunch, the waitress hit the watch with a ceramic plate and the case has to be changed. Luckily, they have insurance for these cases.
SOLVED: I have just visited my AD and they polished it for free. It is not like new, some very very light visible scrhatches in very difficult angle are still visible (it is very difficult to polish it without diassembly) but it is 90 percent better than used to be.
The truth is I used an older cloth (clean not used place) but it was stored in the original package with re-openable closure. Watch was dirt free before polishing. I can try it one more time with new one and I see. That's the simplest way to find out. If it won't help, I will visit my AD to fix it. Thanks
