Buying from an AD

It was my Tag Heuer's turn today to get some wrist time and after I set the date & time the crown wouldn't tighten down all the way and just basically spun.
I remember when I bought it debating whether I should buy it from a grey market seller and save a couple hundred dollars or from my local Tag Heuer AD.
I'm so happy I didn't cheap out and bought it from my AD. The 2 year warranty expires in September so I'll be dropping it off tomorrow for service. So easy !

Very cool! I inherited a Heuer Pasadena Chronograph which I hope to get back in working order. I just hope it doesn't hurt the wallet too much to get it fixed.

I just checked the Pasadena Chrono out online. What a great looking watch...love it !! Hopefully it will be just a tuneup and won't cost you much. But whatever it costs I think it would be worth it to get it working.
Congrats & Good Luck A.J.

Sometimes it pays to spend a few extra bucks.

Your right Ken,I'm glad I did but at the time saving a couple hundred bucks was tempting.
