How old is your Carrera?
Not my personal experience but heard good thing about the service from TSC and another watchsmith in Summit USJ. Perhaps you would bring it there to have a look. A standard Valjoux 7750 should be easy to service.
*
Pls allow me to share my recent finding abt service....
TSC in Amcorp Mall ( Mr Lee ) is a professional watch service centre, good patient to explain all the possible problems of the watch I send for quotation. ( Price is cheaper than Principle appointed service centre...Richemont Luxury said around RM1500, 6 months warranty smile.gif )
Mr Ng in Summit PJ is expert in OMEGA watches, for simple mechanical watch he should be capable to handle it. ( nice guy and quick service smile.gif )
Mr Thung from Ampang Point also "old bird" in service & trade 2nd hand watches. ( so far he charge the lowest rate around RM750, but I really dun know the quality yet..... hmm.gif )
Finally, go back to Richemont Luxury, the real professional the only officially appointed service agent for many Swiss made watches, like PIAGET, IWC, B&M, PANARAI, JL, V.Constantin, A.L&Sohne, MontBlanc, Cartier....etc ( can provides FOC full detail of the service needed with spare part break down one by one......may cost 30% more but they provide 1 year warranty biggrin.gif )

The choice is yours.........
Do share with me if you found a good service centre with reasonable price as I also got few watches that need services....

BTW.....If I want to sell off some of my collection ( Swiss Watches ) pls advice me where is the most suitable place to post...

TYVM.

winding coarse? how long did U own the watch.
if there are parts that req changing u may end up paying more th RM$1510.
Do Watches of Switzerland perform servicing? some AD don't do that, they just help U ship to service centre to get it done and charge u more for their middle man service.

I will check with TSC and get a quote. reputable watch maker wouldn't give U a quote immediately, they would have to open it and inspect it to give U a quote. then U have to be comfortable leaving your watch there.

@CK77 have U see est of cost done by TSC and another watchsmith in Summit USJ? Can share these info?

I can share the official quotation from Richemont Luxury, I waited for 30 minutes for them to open up and used some machine to test it before provide me the quotation.....the good thing is it's all FOC.

I will post it tomorrow cos the quotation is in my office. tongue.gif

TSC is what price again?

where to sell?
there is watchuseek/watchnet/timezone.pmwf to post or the local http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/ sales section or LYN Street Mart  or even on this thread, so long MOD is fine with it.
*
For my IWC.....TSC was quoted as RM1200 to 1500. ( they imposed RM100 as charges after the quotation if you refused to send in for service ).
But as rule of thumb.... send the watch personally to them for diagnosis without tell them all the problems....then compares lat least 3 shops for price & service explanation, it will minimized the risk to send the watch to a wrong hand or put ur head on chopping board....lol sweat.gif ).

I believed many friends out there can advice on this service matter and should know some of their service quality....
Pls share ya..... nod.gif
