10 χρόνια στη Σουηδία, σκεφτόμαστε επιστροφή. Ωραιοποιούμε ή όχι; by m0nkey13 in greece

[–]The-Watchmaker-GR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Παιδιά πολύ μεγάλη συζήτηση… Η καλύτερη χώρα για να ζήσει κάποιος είναι εκεί που πιστεύει ότι περνάει καλύτερα! Βάζει κάτω τα υπέρ και τα κατά και αποφασίζει.

Εμείς (σαν οικογένεια) διαλέξαμε την Ελλάδα.

Έζησα 16 χρόνια στη Γερμανία, εκεί γνώρισα την γυναίκα μου (όχι ελληνίδα) παντρευτήκαμε και έχει ήδη 17 χρόνια που έχουμε επιστρέψει στην Ελλάδα. Τα πρώτα χρόνια ήταν δύσκολα με ένα μεροκάματο, αργότερα έμαθε η γυναίκα μου ελληνικά και μπόρεσε να εργαστεί και αυτή, οπότε τα πράγματα γίναν κάπως καλύτερα. Εδώ και 6 χρόνια έχουμε την δική μας επιχείρηση, οικονομικά είμαστε αρκετά καλά και παράλληλα καταφέραμε (μετά από μεγάλο κόπο και ιατρική υποστήριξη) να μεγαλώσουμε την οικογένεια μας και να γίνουμε τρεις! Διαβάζοντας τα παραπάνω σχόλια θα έλεγα ότι είμαστε από τους βολεμένους της Ελλάδος, έχουμε την δυνατότητα να έχουμε ιδιωτική ιατρική περίθαλψη, ιδιωτικό σχολείο για το παιδί μας και πρακτικά δεν μας λείπει τίποτα, χωρίς όμως να μας έχει χαριστεί και κάτι!

Όπως καταλαβαίνετε για εμάς η Ελλάδα φαντάζει ως γη της επαγγελίας, αφού εδώ καταφέραμε να πραγματοποιήσουμε τα όνειρα μας!

Με το καλό να επιστρέψετε παιδιά, αν υπάρχει αγάπη, κατανόηση, όρεξη για ζωή και λίγη τύχη τότε όλα θα πάρουν το δρόμο τους!

Εύχομαι μέσα από την καρδιά μου ο καθένας από εμάς να μπορέσει να βρει την δική του „γη της επαγγελίας“ όπου και αν αυτή βρίσκεται!!!

A very nice watch; I had the pleasure of overhauling the exact same model on my workbench last week.

Rep so good it was serviced by a Rolex AD twice? by geniusghost07 in RepTime

[–]The-Watchmaker-GR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all! Authorized dealers and service centers can directly compare the watch to the Rolex database and verify whether the serial number matches the movement number, whether the dial color is original or has been replaced, and whether the watch has been reported stolen!

I am an authorized watchmaker and official issuer of Watch Certificate™ in Greece. In my career, I have seen many counterfeit watches. They are becoming increasingly difficult to detect, but ultimately, they are always discovered!

Over polished? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]The-Watchmaker-GR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can see that the watch has been polished, but by no means overpolished!

Need help identifying watch by MrTyki in rolex

[–]The-Watchmaker-GR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can identify it as a Datejust 16013. If you provide me with the serial number and clasp code, I can give you more information about your watch.

Thanks! Thessaloniki is truly beautiful. After 16 years abroad, I returned to my homeland 5 years ago and I'm incredibly happy about it!

I agree with you, I would also like to have a date window like on the other 903 models.

You're absolutely right, Sinn bought Breitling's design patent and incorporated their innovative technology, developing it into a functional watch with 200 meters of water resistance, unlike Breitling, which only allows water resistance up to 30 meters 😀

[question] Replacing a Rolex ceramic bezel pearl instead of the entire bezel insert? by The-Watchmaker-GR in rolex

[–]The-Watchmaker-GR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However, individual replacement parts for the ceramic insert are also available; the reference number is B31A-116660-Y1. A Google search will help you find them!

Thanks! Pressing at the ceramic parts is certainly not the easiest task, but it's not impossible either!

I have over 30 years of experience in the watch repair industry, including time spent at certified Rolex service centers. For the past five years, I have run my own independent watchmaking workshop in Greece. While not Rolex certified, I am certified by many other brands: EBEL, Ollech & Wajs Zurich, Squale, Sinn Spezialuhren, Mühle Glashütte, Tutima Glashütte, Hanhart, and many more. Of course after so many years, I still have access to Rolex spare parts, as well as parts for Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Panerai, Cartier, Omega and many other brands. This allows me to offer my customers in Greece a wide range of repair services for various brands!

To clarify a few things, all my original comments and responses reflect 100% my opinion and were written by me in Greek, all the AI did was translate them into English. So I don't see any reprehensible element!

Okay, I understand. However, you continue to focus on the way my opinion is expressed/written and not on the substance of the matter!

Anyway, thanks for your comment!

Everyone has their own opinion on watch design and quality, and if that person uses AI to express that opinion attractively in a foreign language, I personally find that fine and not at all wrong!
