Hi Guys, I have just received my watch purchased from Gnomon watch. as i inspect the watch i found that the crown is not all the way to the case and there is a small gap between bout 0.1- 0.2mm. would like to know if dust & water would get in through the gap.
anyway, i bought this watch because of the diamond crown as shown in their website but my watch is having a pumpkin dial... kindda disappointed with them...

yeah agree scared if won't reach here.  rclxms.gif
but the joy of getting from a shop it feel so nice....
list the next time you walk in that same shop will come with a nice service... looks like have to gain some and lose some....

in southeast asia, thats the case. if sales person leave most likely need to get another watch from them to renew the love.
Here in States - don't buy also need to provide good service. some jewelery store walk in the serve cocktails, shots, and cigar.
I had always bought in the shop b4, today the joy of saving money is nicer to me. tongue.gif

thats the issue buying with Asian dealer. return policy sucks. 3 day and only defective watch?
U should not wear it and email them regarding shipping of the wrong watch.

regarding the small gap, perhaps you can claim warranty if exchange didn't work out.

Is that a gap? Sorry, but I can't really see it.
Why don't you drop a mail to Anders of Gnomon, he is very helpful.

I though U would be happy that it has been service by B&R service centre. over haul just means it has been clean, oil and regulated.

if U are on a vintage rolex the cost may range ~SG$2K!
an oris cost ~US$150


found that brand that offer value for money watches like Tissot. They do not any AD in Asia.
