I have to agree on your Wempe assessment. Last year I walked in and showed the watchmaker my Nomos (which I didn't buy there). I explained a bad situation with a jeweler who stripped the screws. He pressure tested the watch.... then opened it up and noticed the gasket was not seated properly. Went to the back to get a new gasket and installed it. While the case open he cleaned up the rotor and removed dust from the crystal. He then pressure tested again, wiped he watch down, and gave it back. No charge. It was one one of few boutique experiences where I actually felt comfortable.
