Arrow IWC service video...

Wow - this is pretty cool, probably explains why service costs an arm and a leg!

Click the "good, solid craftsmanship" in the middle of the page for the video

Service is truly overpriced no matter how they spin it... However, lacking a local trusted jeweler/watchmaker most have no choice. Generally for mid-high end pieces you are looking at $4-500+ for standard service at the OEM.

^ I have only had my IWC a short time, so I am not sure. I have seen people on IWC forums say $750-$1000 but I cannot verify. Seems high!


Additionally, I get a kick out of IWC adds. Who else says "engineered for men" in every ad??

$750+ is very possible depending on the watch and extent of service...but, yeah - not cheap!

750 could definitely be possible. I was told by the AD I bought my Pam at that service is $500 and they recommend it every 5 years

Craftsmanship defined.

I think this would be more fun than designing or doing the original build. The case refinishing is very impressive.
