No but they might have a problem with a bonehead working at one of their AD's! :poke: :wink: :lol:

I'm sure they'll be able to fix it.


Ok, so that's a little harsh but, in all seriousness, may I ask how you got this job when you obviously have little knowledge of the mechanical workings of a watch? I would have thought this was a pre-requisite. Will you be getting any training?

I'm a little concerned that Sales people of high end watches could offer out information like this to their customers. Is their no vetting procedure by Breitling and other high end watch manufacturers before people are allowd to sell their watches?

Not having a go at you personally Mr Tozzlenozzle. I am curious and thought it was worth discussing.

I had a similar experience. I wanted to get my navi world cleaned.. so I was doing a load of laundry and said to myself.. "hey, I'll throw my watch in there too!"

Looks great!

I got the job because i know tones about whatches... DUH! it was a pre-requisite. i have a loooooooong, and to most, boring history with watches. i think the case in point is that i dont know enuf about ultrasound!!

who said anything about offering information out? i put my watch in a cleaner, terns out i shouldent of... how is that me telling customers "yeaaaahhhhh, ill stick it in an ultrasound. i dont think it will harm the watch, but theres only one way to find out!!!"

Just because i personally rushed into cleaning my breitling with no prior knowlage of ultrasound that doesnt mean that i cant tell people about the micanical components, long history, functions and style of a breitling... does it? if i were to clean a customers watch i would see how its done before i did it myself.
