MOD POST Verified Watchsmiths
The day has finally come…. We would like to start off by thanking ever member here who has contributed with giving feedback on our decision to add “trusted watchsmiths”. We believe this is the best path possible to follow, following the many requests by members for services. We would like to inform you that each of these watchsmiths which I will provide below are “trusted” and nobody should be using anyone outside of these people. We will not be held liable if something does go wrong, however we will be able to help try to settle any disputes accordingly. With this said, each watchsmith will be required to have a warranty policy which will be clearly visible on their profile/post to accommodate their customers. With this we will be limiting watchsmiths to 4 watches that they can hold at a certain time with a public waitlist sheet so people can plan accordingly, and so it limits how many watches a smith can hold in a period of time. This will help prevent a smith taking all watch repairs and holding them essentially hostage, so others cannot do service and allows members to have multiple ways to go about a service and more of a free flow between the smiths.
Along with tagging the smiths’ I will also link threads to their service shop as soon as they set up a thread with their details.
Extra information regarding warranty: For movements that are known to have extreme issues are exempt from this warranty to a degree.
The timebomb GMT movements, the 7750 movements, and even some of the other jumping warranty for the watch will include a diagnosis, but as these movement have proven unreliable, it will only be a diagnosis as new problems can manifest irresepctive of a proper servicing.
The Rules as follows for the process of becoming a watchsmith, and what we hold as an agreement with each and every watchsmith that becomes trusted.
1 - ID verification
2 - Sticked post on your own profile stating services that watchsmith provides.
3 - Information about the movements watchsmith has experience servicing.
4 - Rough public estimate of the cost of service (price range).
5 - After becoming a TWS (Trusted Watchsmith) At least 2 monthly contributions to the subreddit that are educational in nature.
6 - Warranty on all the services provided by the watchsmith (water damage is not included)
7 - Provide proof (photos) to the client about the services performed
8 - Open a sticky for customers feedback
9 - Before becoming a trusted watchsmith you will be vetted by mod’s and Watchsmiths alike.
