But with a payment of nominal sum, may take the job any time considering it as individuals walk in service like JW or K2.
That will not be repairing on behalf of anymore. Repairing on behalf of means not charging la. As this is u set warranty.

This is what i mean. Gnomon will not give free job for sure... just like any other brands in the market. SEIKO for example...
Once a STEINHART is sourced elsewhere, Gnomon is not obliged to give free...ehem...job.

Citizen Sg does repairs for non local set.

In fact when I brought a Ecozilla to fix the second hand hitting the min hand, they did it promptly n charge me a,MC d value meal price, no asking local or parallel set, that back cover needed a dedicated 5 jaw opener which k2 did not have.

Another time, a min- repeater perpetual eco drive movement was reset due to low/no charge.

They re-setup for me, did a 10 min quick charge, gave me a photo copy of the set up procedure, Foc.

Both are non local set, was not asked for any papers as,well.

I can understand why gnomon will not service the watch.steinhart doesn't extend their warranty to worldwide dealer coverage.

An update from steinhart after I told them abt the noise. They were kind enough to offer me 2 options. One option was to send the watch back to them. But the 2nd option was the one that impressed me, they offered to pay for the servicing to be done here. Well, after what you guys shared your experience with the 2824, I decided to leave it as it is. Quite impressed with their service and response.

Anyways,I went back to K2 with the same Ocean black DLC but this time to ask Mr Goh to change the bezel to a ceramic one, bought from steinhart themselves. Unfortunately, I was turned down. mr Goh said DLC bezels are hard to remove and he doesn't want to take up the task :(

Any suggestions?
