Here are a few pics of the service center at BUSA in Wilton. Absolutely the cleanest watch facility you will ever see. Their QC borders on crazy extreme...

Image
Sixteen watchmakers in a glassed in dust free environment!

Image
They all look like doctors at their bench.

Image
The Quality Control department with final inspections.

Image
A completely separate training facility limited to four watchmakers per class...

Again, awesome facility with three in the USA now, Wilton, Illinois, and Miami.

Just fortunate to know some folks... :wink:

Great leadership at BUSA with Marie Bodman over the past many years. Her guidance and inspiration have taken BUSA to new heights. Now the new USA president is Phillipe Bonay and this gentleman was instrumental in leading Panerai to it's cult status for the past nine years.

BUSA is in great hands folks...

Very interesting! I'm trying to check out what Lings they are wearing! Don't suppose they would be wearing Tags or Rolex! :D

Guess there must be staff discount available! Either that or it was like the old Jonny Cash number - "One Piece At A Time" :D

Excellent pics - great share.

I have to agree with Roff - I work in Quality Control so I wonder where I apply!

I agree! I didn't think there was such a thing as "too extreme" in terms of QC! :wink: I just hope BUK is as good.
