For shipping I use PostNL which takes around 3-4 days within EU. Shipping back within EU with PostNL is €15. DHL (Express 1 day) is also possible. For other options feel free to ask.
Timegrapher info:
Rate: Will be within -10 and +10 s/d on average across 5 positions, but I aim for -3 to +5 s/d. Genuine movements make it possible to get even more accurate.
Amplitude: For most movements an amplitude around 270 is healthy. For some Dandong movements such as the DD3235 this baseline is different (see picture).
Beat Error: Less than 0.5 ms.
Date change: will be within 10mins of midnight, while I aim for less than 5mins as that is within Rolex spec.
Only greases and oils from Moebius is used. For waterproofing, silicone grease from Moebius is used. These greases and oils are the standard in watchmaking.
Warranty for 12 months.
Because your satisfaction with your watch is my priority. I give warranty to both genuine and rep watches.
Rep parts are not always machined to Swiss standards. While high end replica movements are quite well made, I do try to be reasonable and cover it under warranty may a rep break under normal circumstances, such as the reversing wheel breaking, cannon pinion issues, date change issues or sudden accuracy issues just to give an example.
Warranty covers labor only. Does not include costs related to failed parts, unauthorized modifications or repair.
Warranty does not cover issues due to misuse such as drops or water damage. Changing date between 9pm and 3am for some models may damage the date mechanism. Out of warranty repairs will be charged for according to the service prices listed.
Shipping costs for warranty repairs are to be paid by customer.
Water resistance
Waterproofing means greasing the gaskets of the sealings such that the case and caseback keep their seal and the gaskets do not crack. Sealings are made of rubber or other materials that may deform or wear after time and due to exposure to harsh conditions such as salt water or steam. It is recommended to check the conditions of gasket sealing every few years. A water resistance test to is a momentarily snapshot of the water resistance and the condition of the gaskets. Water damage is not covered by warranty.
