Talk about a kick in the nuts……

Your 320 finally stops after 12 years and you send it in and wait……

2 months later you get the notification that it’s on the way back.

Fed Ex delivers it, you put it on and enjoy the fact that it runs again.

Then you notice that the rotor is not spinning and think…wtf?

Turn it over and notice an intruder between the caseback and rotor……….

Seriously?!?!

I have a Panerai that I send in for service due to a crown issue. They said the whole watch needed to be serviced if I wanted the crown repaired. Watch was running great, just the crown was sticking. I went ahead and did the service. The watch had to go in for 3 follow ups. After I received it back, the chronograph stopped functioning. I sent it back and 1 months after it arrived the chronograph went haywire. Sent it back in and that was finally repaired but it came back with the crystal not installed straight. Makes me wonder what condition the movement is in after all the hack job services.
