-====== Damasko DA36 Repair (2019) ======
-Created Monday 18 November 2019
-===== 15/11/19 =====
-Sent an email asking for advice on having the watch repaired on 15/11/19 :
-Good morning,
-I bought a DA36 in October 2016, direct from Damasko and I have been
-very pleased with it and it has been very reliable, keeping good time
-over the last 3 years.
-The serial number is DA36.1981
-Recently I have noticed that it randomly loses a up to one minute in a
-single day, when most of the time it keeps to within ± 2 seconds per
-day.
-On these occasions I have observed the watch using a Timegrapher
-machine, and I see that the displayed rate can be as low as -240 s/d
-and the displayed amplitude can be as low as 126 degrees. These periods
-of poor performance occur randomly and do not appear to be related to
-any physical activity etc. Often the watch returns to normal behaviour
-after a few hours. I now feel that I cannot rely on the watch to be
-reliable in normal use.
-Can I arrange for the watch to be repaired or serviced to return it to
-it's previous excellent and reliable performance?
-Since I bought the watch direct from Damasko I am happy to return it to
-yourselves for the repair.
-Please advise me on how to proceed.
-Best wishes,
-John Pumford-Green

-**Reply from me:**
-Hello Isabella,
-Thank you for the information.
-I would be very happy for the repair to go ahead.
-I can pay in advance by PayPal or would you prefer to complete the repair before payment, in case of additional expenses that might be necessary?
-Regards,
-John
-**Reply from Isabella:**
-__Thank you for your quick reply.__
-__I would send you the invoice for payment by PayPal when I get the watch back by our watchmaker.__
-__May I know which invoice and delivery address I can use?__
-Now to wait for the repair to be complete.
-What is "many abrasion" in the escapement - did I do it while regulating - introducing some foreign bodies, dirt/dust? Will not do any further regulation once I get it back, and just have it serviced every few years.... I can put up with a few seconds/day here and there, as long as it's not > ± 10s/d
