    They have made a few of these videos over the years.
    It REALLY makes me wish I had studied harder in the leaving cert so I could now afford one....and afford to get it serviced!

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    And the service prices don't seem to be unreasonable given that level of detail / thoroughness / specialism / special equipment needed. €800 + taxes for a full service for an automatic. Linky

    WOW.... Around the 12 minute mark of the video (casing up)... PP are now using laminar airflow booths to case up movements....!!! Complete overkill... We are now trying to aseptically case up a watch movement... Good presentation though..

    Wouldn't have thought it was "overkill" necessarily.........don't have any technical knowledge in this area, but i assume that keeping dust/debris etc out of the movements is probably a good thing?

    Yes, you should keep dust/debris out of movements. A good blow down with a bellows during assembly and before the case is closed should really be enough though.

    Then again, perhaps through testing and experiment they found to get better rate results or the likes using LAFs...
