    I have a doubt about sending my 79350 (Portuguese chronograph) for serviced to
    the assistance center in Italy. If I decide to buy a watch made in
    Switzerland, why should I have it disassembled and reassembled, set by a
    laboratory that is not the Swiss of the parent company (in the Schaffhausen
    manufactory)?

    Thanks

    Best regards

    If the Italian service center is an authorised IWC service center, why not ?
    The people there are trained in Schaffhausen.

    I am born in Belgium, why wouldn't I allow a certified doctor to do an
    operation in the States ?

    If for some reason in Italy they think service or repair is too compilcated,
    they will send it to Schaffhausen anyway. But for a regular service, no
    problem.

    Thank you TB. Yes, I mean an authorized IWC center. It is important to know
    that people are trained on the Sciaffusa, considering that the caliber is
    completely reassembled and set. It's not like a car maintenance where you
    change oil and filters. It would be like saying Made in Switzerland and
    assembled in Italy. Not because Italians aren't good (I'm Italian).

    best regards

    It's a simple 7750 movement, every watch smith can service this movement. I'm
    just a hobby watch smith and service a 7750 by myself.
