[quote="joechants"]Today quite tulan when goh say my Seiko lm cannot change glass.I stay up whole night, remove the caseback,took out the movement,press out the glass, break, blood everywhere..done.now ordering my sapphire crystal replacement. When there's a will, theres a way...
for those who know goh well enough. there are certain type of jobs he don't really wanna do perhaps that are rather time consuming, must understand a bit cause he got many watch repairs.
then again, there are many other watch shops out there...[/quote]
this scenario has happen time and time again.
while GOh has rather good reputation, skills and prices. there are times like above, he tells ppl cant do.
due to several reasons, sometimes all or some involved
1) price and stock availability, some parts esp seiko parts is not just abt cheap, but abt getting it.
if he cant get it and sometimes buy online like us, then how much shld he charge us for it, esp when we can get the same price as him.
the effort to buy, then install and in between cant get, or wrong part.
2) time on hand vs repairs on hand.
we all know he has never ending repairs to do, in fact when near festive seasons, it become overwhelming.
supply and demand, its only right he choose jobs he can handle within his means and time to do and make a reasonable profit.
Not a job that spends him hrs and earn him less money, doesnt makes sense right....
3) relationship with him, i say this simply bcos while he has earned a good reputation here or elsewhere online.
there are still ppl who turn up 1st time expecting to enjoy the same freebies svc or special prices he has given to his regular!!!
this is not abt going to a fix price department stall to buy things and most definitely, his prices even to walk in customers have been fair or even lower than the general market.
such buy and deal relationship are build up over time and trust and eventually develop to friends as well.
last but not least, if Goh cant do it, get it done elsewhere lo
btw, i dun jump queue hor when i send him a watch repair. in fact, my always takes mths, simply cos i dun see the urgency and need and told him, do others 1st.hmm, how long has my bullhead been with him?? since cny??? :lol:
not trying to offend anyone, my imho only, dun flame me hor
