“What about servicing for my watch?
That's a great question -- because your timepiece will eventually need to be serviced every 3-5 years, as it's a literal machine that has hundreds of pieces that click perfectly into place thousands of times a day.
We're pleased to announce that we have secured agreements with some world-class horologists that have agreed to service our watches when they are needed.
Just shoot us a message when you want your watch serviced, and we'll take care of the rest!”

That reads quite hilariously.

Agree with Geo, doesn't look great to me.
I collect watches and although sometimes the cost of a service is more than most watches people deem feasibel to spend on a watch , I will only buy watches I class as assets now even if the manufacturers hold the cards for a few years.

I wince if I work out what I paid for service this year!
More than the GT I suspect

My wife still can’t get her head around me spending + £250 on a watch strap every 2 years - the service last year I felt was best not mentioned!

£250 for a strap every 2 years? That seems a very poor lifespan, although granted the vast majority of my watches have bracelets.

The most expensive watch I've bought can change it's face, can find my mobile phone and keep true whichever timezone I'm in. These watches are subject to the whimsies of commodity buying, not for me.

Yeh, it's rubbish. The level of precision engineering and skill required to make a tourbillon is mega. Any less than perfect and it simply will fail, that's kind of the point with them. You are paying for absolute excellence. Doesn't mean you can't make a good one for less than the £100k upwards that manufacturers charge but it does mean that you can't make a good one for less than a few thousand. When reading that advert, it's full of holes which makes me think it was designed by an overseas entity that doesn't have English as it's primary language, probably Chinese.]

I'd run away from this one.

I'm no expert, nor even especially interested in watches, but it looks pretty tawdry to me.
