Re: Encounter with Goh Seo Choon

I had a bad experience with Mr Goh Seo Choon as well.
Bought him a few watches including a Seiko Alba ( Worst Damaged watch after repair)
First of all , my glass broke when i dropped the watch. so i went to him to have a replacement glass and touch up of a missing minute marker.
He did a fairly ok job , super flat glass instead and the missing minute marker , he merely use a black paper or some sort and stick it up ( glue mark visible.)
So i was thinking , it's ok , as long as it working fine ( as it a first watch given to me by my wife)
To my horror , watch cant even function continuously 3 hours even on my wrist ( after winding )
i went back , told him watch is faulty and power reserve is bad as well ( after a whole day of wearing , i place it on the table and it cant even last till morning)
He said look into it and tell me collect few days later , ( as usual , told me he close shop at 6 and quite attitude when i told him i will be there 6 15 pm earliest)
Exact words that he told me : u dun come later than 6 15 if not i will pull the shutters down.
So i collected the watch in a rush and went back home.
Guess what ? watch is worse than before , crown become super stiff , case back shown alot of scratches due to his case opening skill , watch cant even function.
I was thinking , is this the service that he render?
I will not recommend anyone i know to him and let alone let him service the other watches i have.
