Very true,but it's so odd that good old USA can't>

In Response To: Yes, but... ()

take care of it's own people.Seems real watchmakers are a dying breed,very sad.
I meant no harm by my post,but get ticked off when I see so many jobs being sent elsewhere {south of the border} to be done cheaper and sometimes better that n done here.
Fast food,drive through teller,self checkout counters.It's a rush job everywhere you go.
I admit I would not want to send my watch to PA either.But there must be another GOOD service center they have besides PA,right?Perhaps down south?

: If you are aware of a problem with the PA
: service center why would you ever send your
: watch there? I'm not saying that this SHOULD
: be the way it, I'm just saying that it IS
: the way it is.

: What frustrates me is people who send their
: watch to PA even though they read warnings
: on here or elsewhere and somehow expect
: their watch to be the exception to the rule.
: Not saying that was the case with any of
: these reports.

: If you have a system that needs fixing (US
: repair center in PA) then it's great and all
: to try to fix it. But how does sending a
: watch there when you KNOW it has a bad
: reputation accomplish anything? Work with
: what you are given. Sure, complain about it
: but don't send your watch somewhere where
: you know people (many people) have had
: problems with. That's idiotic.
