Including movements before the Cal.1000 series before Rolex became high-beat,
Those with a screw-type part called "Oshidori" that holds the winding core that connects the crown and movement,
As you operate the crown to adjust the time, etc., the screw called "Oshidori" will loosen.
This cannot be prevented due to a structural problem with the watch.
Since I started working at a watch store, I have handled many repairs.
This is a simple repair that can be fixed quickly by tightening the screws.
This time, the mandarin screw of the Rolex Oyster he had previously purchased came loose and he requested repair.
Repairs were completed within 3 minutes after the watch arrived.
I took the opportunity to wash the bracelet as well.
I returned it in a total of 10 minutes.
Although it is a very simple repair,
Because of a "malicious" person who charges a high repair fee,
Vintage watches are said to require repair fees.
It is no exaggeration to say that it gives a bad impression.
Later machines changed from screw type to spring type,
The crown will not come out unless this spring breaks,
Compared to something that can be easily repaired by tightening a screw, the repair cost when it is damaged is high.
That's why I understand that the repair costs are high.
In other words, I want to say, "Don't be kidding."
It would be a good idea to pay for the repairs you brought in, but
If you want to sell vintage watches,
I would like to say that you should do this kind of repair yourself right away.
As a matter of course, we will repair it free of charge.
Well, it's natural since we sell it at home (lol)
These repairs don't really take that much effort.
If the user properly communicates with the store where it was purchased,
There are times when your watch can be repaired without incurring any repair charges.
In a past blog, I wrote about the convenience of being able to buy things outside of stores.
On the other hand, there is also a big "disadvantage".
I don't recommend buying things at a store because I run a store,
The best value for money is definitely to buy at a store.
I've heard that this simple repair can cost several thousand or tens of thousands of yen.
Of course the products are important, but so is the hard-earned money.
It's not just about buying a watch,
If you don't understand or don't know anything, ask the staff at the store.
It may be more important than money.
