Roger Dubuis charges on watch repair - 5 Star service

 




This is my experience for the second time at Roger Dubuis enjoying their super service.
First of all, they are professional and very knowledgeable on their products. Professional salesperson Brian Yu could even recognize me by calling my name after my last visit 5 years ago! 
I salute you!
Secondly they told me that they need to have about 6 days to do pre-evaluation on the charge on my watch. I went there at 5 pm on 19 Oct and they called me today on the quotation. That is 3 days!

Third, they are about to replace 6 parts as shown on the quotation, complete service and case polishing of the watch and the total price is HK$82,30!
I am amazed with their first-class service, response and the cost, which is not in their policy as part of the earning!
of course they watch is a white gold super heavy watch and was not cheap at all when we bought it. But after these years, there is wear and tear is unavoidable as this is sport watch.
Repair charge is very reasonable and very comfortable for us.

Thank you Roger Dubuis for such a great service.
We will continue support this Roger Dubuis in future.

Roger Dubuis

Of the 20 million watches produced in Switzerland each year, only 24,000 bear the Hallmark of Geneva. (0.12%)
Roger Dubuis is the only Manufacture of which the entire range is 100% Hallmark of Geneva certified.

I believe that watch lover of Patek Philippe is not the same time watch Lover of Roger Dubuis, I think Roger Dubuis watch lovers will likely the admirers of Patek Philippe. I am one of them.

Some of the watches that is carrying a Supreme High price that you may hesitate to enter their Boutique in IFS, Peninsular Hotel, 1881 and Pacific Place…

The only manufacture to be 100% Poingon de Geneve certified. Roger Dubuis




The Above Italian wild bull and these two Roger Dubuis is having similar price tag!


In order to combat the abusive use of the name of Genava, which had become synonymous with First Class expertise, the Societe des Horlogers succeeded in getting the State of Genena to promulgate a law instituting the Poincon de geneve.
The was likely one of very first anti-counterfeit measures.

It officially came into forces the 1886 and was granted to only a handful of manufacturers,  with the seal or hallmark engraved directly on the movement serving as a guarantee that the mechanism was made, assembled ,polished and adjusted in Geneva and that compiled with the strictest demands and standard of watchmaking.

There are 30,000,000 watches made every year in Switzerland, only small fraction of that is certified to bear such a hallmark, that is no more than 0.08%, that is 8 in 10,000 pieces having such standard for watch making craftsmanship including 5,000 watches carefully made by Roger Dubuis!

Every Roger Dubuis watch has this “Poincon de Geneve” on the watch, I had a chance to see these likely the most beautiful and sophisticated watches Roger Dubuis made…


The Excalibur Skeleton Double Flying Tourbillon in Pink gold 45mm.  HKD$2,300,000


The Excalibur flying tourbillon mono-pusher chronograph with visible micro-rotor HKD$1,300,000



Well, I had not having the chance to see this master piece Excalibur Quatuor in "Silicon", Limited of 3 pieces and had been sold, HKD$8,500,000

Roger Dubuis Velvet



Since 1995, Roger Dubuis has earned appreciation from the Chinese big spenders, discerning Watch connoisseurs, private collectors, and Celebrity. With fine Swiss horologer achievement and Company strategy to offer every watch made for qualifying for stamping “Genève Seal”.
This is a new design to offer those sophisticated ladies a time piece on her writs at same time a piece of jewelry. But not too much as a show off of glittering of precious gems.
The way they inlay the diamonds are just for the right design need. And not to uncover the precise Movement under the case.
The Velvet Watch is employing the RD821 movement which is made of 172 components. The Whole watch is entirely developed, hand-made assembled in the Roger Dubuis Ateliers.
Exterior was a black Technical prowess of black DLC treatment solid Titanium. An audacious and unseen combination of colours, reflecting the dramatic and dark beauty of our "Incredible Diva" universe.
· This Velvet watch design is made in Titanium with DLC feature;
· 36mm in diameter.
· One round of Amethysts and Black Diamonds on the side;
· 100% In-house automatic movement;
· With Genève Quality Hall Mark and COSC Certificate.
This watch is selling at HKD$308,000.00.
PS
Diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings are a particular area of expertise on surface treatment for both colour and hardness. Among PVD & PaCVD coating compositions and technology, DLC coatings stand out as a particularly distinctive category. These coatings exhibit a desirable combination of a low coefficient of friction and high micro-hardness, making them extremely effective in many tribological and wear applications.
DLC coatings are formed when ionized and decomposed carbon or hydrocarbon species land on the surface of a substrate with energy typically 10-300eV. DLC films may possess exceptional mechanical (high hardness), optical (high optical band gap), electrical (high electrical resistivity), chemical (inert) and tribological (low friction and wear coefficient) properties and can be deposited at low substrate temperature (<200°).
It is a new way to apply the treatment on the surface of the metal like Stainless steel or Titanium, this will ensure the metal surface to be hard enough for durability, black as the desire colour of the watch designer, and smoothness for extra wearing comfort.
Roger Dubuis made it on Titanium has a ultra light weight for the lady to wear. It is an expensive process and the yield is low, so as the cost will be high.
AP, Hubolt, Richard Miller Panerai and Cartier has a few launched models using this DLC process on their watch.

My Roger Dubuis MuchMore has received a revision in RD factory




Well, my Muchmore has been running for a couple of years, though the time it runs on my wrist is less than 500 hours. It is a Perpetual calendar, there are 152 parts inside, it has been very accurate that it never lose or gain more than anything I could possibly notice through the hand and dial.
I decided to send to RD for a total revision,… at their Swiss Manufacture.
After 4 months, the beautiful sales lady called me for collection, surprisingly; they gave me a “NEW” watch… exaggerated… in fact, they polished it to the same polishing as to a New watch. And was certified with a letter that allows this watch to enjoy 12 months of WARANTY!
This is the lifestyle of Enjoyment of buying a good watch, not necessary expensive, but they treat you like other of their important Customers Bill Clinton, Nicolas Cage and Britney Spears who wear the RD as I do, Bill Clinton used to own the Roger Dubuis MuchMore but not my Salmon Colour…. …. This is no other Brand can possible being go in par with... well of course this is Roger Dubuis… I like the Watch first before I like the brand, as every Roger Dubuis carry the Genève Seal on every of their watches… and their design is so unique, fashioned and daring!
The team is so professional that you may find you are not as good as they are when you talks about watches… especially the senior sales associates and the managers.
Moreover, they treat you like friends, and you can chat as free as you can. Friends of mine haven been received some dirty eyes in other shop of other brands whereby telling you that is a watch value more than 1 million… and they do not even offer you the watch to try out on your wrist.. Of course, this is Hong Kong.. We can not omit that there are shops that run in their rule of games… especially to someone they don’t know much.
16 years ago, when you speak Mandarin, the shop Keeper might not serve you, how if you dress lousy like I and Speak Cantonese like I… you may not be served…
Times has changed, I have seen a Chinese man buying One bottle of Balvenie whisky with cash of RMB700,000 in HK Airport… Who can beat them with money!? May be Mr. Lee, Mr. Lau, Mr. Kwok….but definitely not a poor sales man like me!
Next time, when your next Watch buy is not yet determined, and you may have a lot of Rolex, Patek Philippe, AP, VC, JLC,…Try out this Roger Dubuis… before they go too expensive Tomorrow! Or if you do not have many good watch at all, go Buy one from Roger Dubuis... they have some good for money watch that makes you drooling...
Your Roger Dubuis is likely one of the most beautiful Elegant Watches from Switzerland.

Roger Dubuis Minute Repeater



Everything about Roger Dubuis is distinguished by the Fervent pursuit of Swiss Engineering Superlative Excellence.
I always appreciate Powerful, Bold, unique and Extravagance design, as it is a MUST for A New Borne Classic, there is not more stubborn atmosphere and environment for going so much to the slow mover of boring casing design with insertion of standardized calibers!
Watch for Today is a men’s Accessory, a piece of Art, time Keeping function becomes a side product gradually. Wearing a watch would represent your Glamour, taste and ability to Choose a new Class. As a successful business man who knows how to spend money wisely for a Watch you wear and that might become a Great Classic Tomorrow... Who want to have same watch that may be worn by another passing by sitting in the 5 star hotel lobby?
An exquisite uniqueness is a new criteria for those City Snobs to have…including watches. Imagine that Roger Dubuis produces less than 5,000 watches a year. Imagine that there are just limited 8 to 28 pieces of a Roger Dubuis model … who will be wearing the same watch with you when you travel, that is the uniqueness of yourself… from the day Roger Dubuis establish their own brand name in 1995, they have developed 31 Exclusive calibers in just 10 years. Imagine who can do that nowadays? So Be Calm, you still have a chance to select and buy by money on these watches of blue blood…World is Changing fast and who knows what will the top Auction items are after 15-20 years?
From what we see today at Roger Dubuis Opening of their new concept Boutique at Pacific Place, me as the one to be invited to join…People are nice and beautiful. Today I had a Chance to see this Beautiful example of the masterpiece.

Roger Dubuis Will Be Tomorrow's Classic for your Hand Today.


Founded in 1995, ROGER DUBUIS did indeed receive the Poinçon de Genève for all watches. Its founding philosophy based on traditional culture and the most advanced technology. It soon occupies an original, exclusive position in the prestigious watch manufactures. It’s new Pacific Place show room is just renovated recently and I went to see last Sunday. Well the most attractive watches are display in the front window Double tourbillon Excalibur Watch.
The Reason why I like Roger Dubuis is their Super Bold design that is an Avant-garde and latest Manufacturing Technology with Swiss Watch tradition. It is quite different with Patek Philippe and Audemar Piguet, I would Rate Roger Dubuis the Tomorrow's Classic, that is right for your hand Today...if you could afford it!
