I brought my Tissot in for servicing after it started losing several minutes per day. Lee explained what he found during the initial examination — worn pivot jewels and old lubricant — and provided a written estimate before starting work. The turnaround was exactly what he quoted, and the watch now runs within a few seconds daily. The documentation he provided shows the final timing figures, which is helpful for future reference.

I needed an insurance appraisal for my Hamilton watch, and Ravi handled it professionally. The appraisal document was thorough — brand details, condition notes, current market value — and my insurance company accepted it without questions. The process took about four days, which was reasonable. One small thing: I would have appreciated slightly more detail about how the value was determined, though the final figure seemed fair based on my own research.

What I appreciated most was the straightforward communication. My Seiko with an ETA movement was running erratically, and Lee identified a hairspring issue. He explained exactly what was wrong, showed me the affected coil under magnification, and discussed both repair and replacement options with realistic pros and cons of each. No pressure to choose the more expensive route. The correction work solved the problem completely.

I brought in my TAG Heuer after a previous repair shop gave me a vague explanation about "general wear" and quoted an inflated price for a complete overhaul. silkpivopmy took the time to actually explain what was happening — the automatic winding mechanism was slipping due to a worn component. They quoted MYR 2,600 for the full service, completed it in three weeks as promised, and the watch functions perfectly now. Refreshing to find honest service.

Good experience overall with my Certina service. The work was thorough and the timing is now accurate. My only minor concern was that it took slightly longer than the initial three-week estimate — ended up being closer to four weeks. They did notify me about the delay and explained it was due to waiting for a specific replacement part. The final result was worth the wait, though knowing upfront about potential part delays would have helped me plan.

I've had watches serviced at several places in KL, and silkpivopmy stands out for their transparency. They don't push unnecessary work — when my Longines just needed adjustment rather than a full service, they told me so and charged accordingly. When I later brought the same watch back for a complete overhaul, the work was methodical and well-documented. The location on Jalan Imbi is convenient, and their working hours accommodate my schedule well.

Service Case Studies
Challenge
Client's vintage Omega Seamaster with cal. 1012 movement was gaining 15 minutes per day. Previous service attempt had worsened the problem rather than resolving it.
Solution
Examination revealed hairspring damage likely from improper handling during the previous service. We performed hairspring replacement (sourcing from specialized supplier) and complete calibre overhaul with period-correct lubrication.
Result
Watch now maintains +2 seconds per day variance across all positions. Client received detailed documentation including before/after timing figures and photographs of the replaced hairspring for insurance records. Timeline: 3 weeks.
"I was skeptical after the previous bad experience, but silkpivopmy took the time to explain exactly what had gone wrong and how they would address it. The watch now runs better than it has in years." — Client testimonial
Challenge
Insurance claim required professional appraisal for a Breitling Navitimer with unclear provenance. Insurance company needed verification of authenticity and current replacement value.
Solution
Conducted detailed authenticity verification including serial number research and movement examination. Prepared comprehensive appraisal with current market analysis, condition assessment, and comparison with recent sales data.
Result
Appraisal accepted by insurance company without additional questions. Client's coverage accurately reflected current replacement cost. Documentation included provenance research and authentication details. Timeline: 5 days.
"The appraisal was more thorough than I expected. The research into the watch's history and current market value gave me confidence in the valuation." — Client testimonial
Challenge
Client's Hamilton with ETA 2824-2 movement stopped running intermittently. Watch would work for several days, then stop unexpectedly, making diagnosis difficult.
Solution
Extended observation period revealed issue occurred specifically when the watch was in certain positions. Disassembly identified a worn mainspring barrel arbor that would occasionally bind. Replaced arbor and conducted complete service.
Result
Watch now runs reliably in all positions. Multi-day regulation confirmed no recurrence of the intermittent stopping. Client appreciated the patience taken to identify the specific cause rather than guessing. Timeline: 2.5 weeks.
"Other shops just suggested replacing the entire movement. silkpivopmy took the time to actually diagnose the specific problem, which saved me considerable cost." — Client testimonial
