I sent my Hamilton Khaki quartz view back again to the Swatch Team for alternative of the damaged gem in early January. The view was bought fresh within the late-1990s, and was off the 5-year guarantee, but I needed to truly have the view precisely re sealed and also the machine repaired within the situation. After talking with them about the telephone, I had been informed to deliver the view to get a restoration estimate. I delivered it, in its unique container, using the unique guarantee and seller purchase info. Error! I acquired an estimation back by e-mail, after which by normal mail, declaring they could not restore the view simply because they no further possess the proper components and wouldn't do the repair until it could be delivered to its initial specifications. They'd maintain the view till I possibly approved its return, and so I could easily get it mounted by myself (they'd direct me to some listing of "competent" watch repair people.) OR, I really could buy a completely new view from their store in a large 30% off retail. WOO HOO! You can purchase a brand new Hamilton from Ashford, or a number of other online stores to get a lot less that that. I had been pissed, and informed them I just required them to displace an extremely typical round gem, the was possibly the identical as on a number of their new watches, but no dice. They simply needed me to purchase a brand new watch in a considerable revenue for them, after which maintain my still operating, nevertheless great view, that just required a gem.
Therefore instructed them to deliver it back again to me. While it came it arrived with no situation. While called about this, they stated they'd search for it, but they do not keep them since there is no space to keep them. I told them the view was valuable using the situation, and desired the initial one back. They first insisted they'd no report of getting received the situation, and they captured each view because it was obtained.incorrect! IT HAD BEEN submitted the situation. They stated they'd search for it and obtain back again to me from the following day. I actually donot understand when they did the previous; they absolutely never did the later. After I named them back again per week later, they stated they'd appear again. Then I had been informed they'd discovered the situation and might deliver it. I expected for verification that it had been the initial. Was told it had been. But the things they delivered me was an enormous contemporary situation in a red shade. It's simply kept happening, they requiring I never delivered the container, and they would not repair the view when. I told them to simply send me an identical, cheap (fairly) fresh Quartz Khaki, they stated they might, but I Would need to deliver mine back. (Okay...) And purchase the brand new view on the "trade plan" for 30% off retail. It has been happening for 3 months since I have obtained the “sorry” low-estimation. Today we are virtually straight back where we began. I have still got a pleasant view having a damaged crystal…and today I don’t possess the original container. They’ve got me madder than heck about being jerked around and getting scammed with a plan to merely market clients fresh watches in a excellent revenue.
Is it possible to say, "rip off", girls and boys? Don’t deliver your view back again to Swatch. Don’t purchase among their expensive, manufacturers both. Centered on my expertise, they undoubtedly don’t help them.
