請教各位先進,
今天我拉出手錶 (Tutima Military Chronograph 750) 的龍頭(crown)調整時間, 前後輕拉龍頭時, 表的面盤(dial)竟然會跟者動, 而不是固定不動.
請教各位先進是何原因面盤跟者動? 是不是要立即送修

Hi Jerry-Liao兄,
Thanks for your advice. I am in Sydney right now, so what i will do is store the watch in its box and take it to 敦文 in the future when i have chance to go to Taiwan... I cannot find a reliable, trustworthy watchmaker in Sydney... Can you believe that, there are more than 4 million people in this town, and i cannot find a decent watchmaker... Thanks again for your advice. |

wy02:
I guess it depends on the brand of watch you have and whether there is any authorised sercice centre for your watch near by, I am in Sydney as well. About few days ago, I washed my hand after manuly winding my IWC, I didnt notice the crown wasnt locked firmly until around 20 mins later. I took the watch to Richmont service centre in Elizabeth St CBD, and they did a few checks for my watch, first they use some machine to test and luckly the printed result indicated there wasnt any water inside the watch. To make sure the watch is okay, they then put my watch on a hot plate for around 10 mins to completely dry the watch out. The whole process was professional and you can see these equipments they using is sufficient even to fully assemble a complicate timepiece. If your watch is a product from Richmont group, I will suggest you to go to their service centre and do a check out for your watch. If not, I am still pretty sure you can locate the centre near by. I guess you were right about not giving your watch to some watch shop on the street. Most watch seller (retailer) in Sydney do not have their own service department like those retailers in Taiwan. The service centre I have mentioned is at 350 Elizabeth st, level 9. Right at the corner of martin place and elizabeth st. And there is a very big jewelly shop at groud level. good luck. |

Hi gst,
Thanks so much for your information. That really cheer me up! I will go down there in this weekend. My watch is a Tutima 750, I bought it from Tutima's official NZ agent because Tutima doens't have any agents in Australia. When I received this watch, there were some tiny dust under the crystal and visible scratches on the backside, so naturally i asked the agent to replace me another watch but he refused! I then complained to Tutima's German headquarter. They replied me that it's an issue between the NZ agent and me, and I would need to resolve this issue with the agent myself! Actually, Tutima used to have a retailer in Sydney, POL Equipment, a few years ago, (http://www.equipment.com.au/default.htm). I then called this company to look for some help with my Tutima. The manager there sent me to 'Time Masters', the watchmaker they use (in Level 2, 70 Castlereagh St., 02-9223-2788). 'Time Master' is also the authorised service centre of Tag Heure. There are two watchmakers in 'Time Masters' (I think they are from Hong Kong). They charged me without performing any work, what even worse was there were more dust under my watch's crystal after my watch stayed in their workshop for 5 days :twisted: (I couldn't inspect my watch at the spot because the crystal was covered by finger prints and oils when I picked it up...) Of course I lost any confidence in them, and then I started my long serach for a fine watchmaker in Sydney. http://nsw.wca.org.au/htm/repair/nswact/nswact01.htm I visited the below five stores, City of Sydney - Antique & Modern Clock Repairs Ivan Vortouni lower ground floor 2 Bridge St 92475119 - Master Watchmaking Pty Ltd Karl Braunsteiner Suite 501 262 Pitt St 92647769 - Max Schweizer Swiss Watch Service Suite 313 375 George St 92901469 - Timepiece Rolex Service Centre Ross Beer 4th Floor , 2 Barrack Street 9299 4538 - Universal Watch & Jewellery Alan Mak Shop11 7-13 Hunter Street 92350870 , and I found 'Max Schweizer Swiss Watch Serivice' seems to be the most reliable one among these watchmakers. (Because during my visits (three times), I saw several rich white men (judging from their dress and talking) brought or picked their watches from Max's workshop. ) I finally asked Max to remove the dust for me since he seems reliable. There are some scraches on the bracelet on my watch when I picked it up, I didn't complain (how silly I was). (http://www.watchbus.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=84). About one week after I took the watch home, I found the dial moves when I pull the crown :twisted: This is the little sad story story of my Tutima : The lesson I have learned is that, http://nsw.wca.org.au/, is a big big bxxlshxt. Its members don't actually abide by the sound rules. I don't know, or maybe Tutima is not good enough for those watchmakers.... :? |

I remember the address wrong this is the right address i found of the net Richemont Australia Pty Ltd. Suite 2, Level 9, 60 Elizabeth Street Sydney, NSW 2000 New South Wales Australia Phone: (612) 8215 5520 Fax: (612) 8215 5580 E-Mail: csd.aus@richemont.com I will suggest you give them a call before paying them a visit. since your watch is not the product they relelased, they may not have the parts you may require. I understand its a pain that your watch fall in someones hand who does not pay extra care for services and repairs. See how you go with people from Richmont, and hope to hear ur good news soon |

Hi gst ,
Unfortunately, they only accept Richemont Brand repairs. It seems to me that 敦文 is the only place I can go now... Thanks again for all your kind help. By the way, do Sydney IWC retailers give discounts like those Taiwan retailers? You think it's better to purchase IWC in Sydney or Taipei? Thanks again |

Hi WY02: I bought my iwc at around 30% off when i went back to Taiwan last time, and plus the GST 10% return I obtained from airport, it was a total of 40% off the retail price. There is also a friend I know who works in the watch shop down in Haymarket (Shamz) who bought a IWC prada for 5600, and the watch was orignally marketed 8000+. She didnt take watch out of the country even. But australian dollars are bit high at the moment, I will suggest if you wish to buy IWC watches, you can ask your friend in Taiwan to obtain the watch's retail price in Taiwan for you. And in most cases, Taiwanese shop will offer 30% to 35% discount depends on how well you know the seller. as i heard new rules applies to IWC is that no shops were allow to give more than 35% disc . (Old Stocks may be excluded) you can email me if you need more info, my email is Konmin@optushome.com.au |

Hi gst
Just fancy an IWC, I have no plans to buy..... I just bought a Sinn from the Sinn German company last month, I don't think I will purchase any other wathes within the next 12 months.... Talking about Sinn, it doesn't have any agents/retailers just like Tutima. Is the Australian and New Zealand markets really so small for these two brands, or it's because they just cann't find anybody who wants to carry their products? What do you reckon? I personally don't think there are many automatic watches fans here. Say, I've never seen any watch magazines in the newsagents. Is it because of people's purchasing power here? Or they just like quartz wathes? I have no ideas.... |
