anyone has anywhere to recommend to service an automatic watch?
has been 5 years since I owned it and thought i ought to sent it for a preventive maintenance.
just a humble Victorinox.

QUOTE(ChnKngYp @ Sep 30 2022, 12:52 AM) Just bought a Swatch Sistem51 yesterday. So far it's keeping good time +/- 1s checked at various times. Would you wear a cheap plastic Swiss automatic? Considering Seiko 5 is significantly cheaper. each to its own i guess and there's nothing wrong with wearing an inexpensive watch as long as the wearer/owner feels good about it. by the way, what movement is the Sistem51 - is it 2824-2? 
got my Alpnach last week from US and it's my first Automatic. have been eyeing this since 2017 but wasn't able to purchased it until now  |
