That seems to be very expencive for a simple service as most good high street watchmakers could do it.

How does the warranty factor into that?

Well like all high end brands when it comes to service the price jumps dramatically.But take the name Panerai of the dial, put a unknown brand on it. Power it with a similar Unites calibre 6498/7 price would be less than half what they charge for a service.

it was still under warranty but apparantly it took a knock-which invalidates the warranty.... just like an insurance company, they'll take your money and work out a way to get out of keeping their end of the bargain when its time to perform the service

You saw my response on TZ Sam, but I think it is total BS of them.
