    Service question - Gervil, good folks?

    Hello all,
    I am wondering if anyone can chime in with experience/opinion about the service at Gervil (Fortis USA)?
    I have a B-42 Diver Day Date that needs an overhaul. I'm also toying with the idea of swapping out my dial for the Marine Master full lume dial and they will do that as well.
    So, before I send them my watch, I was looking for some reassurance about their work.
    Thanks in advance, Dave

    Hi Dave,
    I know Gervil is the Fortis USA distributor, but I don't know if they service. I know of and have experience with one: Time Tec in Los Angeles, CA. They overhauled my B-42 Pilot Pro Chrono GMT about two years ago. They did a great job. My only concern was the time table of getting parts. Unfortunately, I needed mine serviced right around the time Fortis went on vacation.
    They can order any parts from Switzerland: dials, hands, crowns, crystals, etc…
    Google the name, give them a call, and they can help you out. I recommend them.
    Good luck!
    -Dan
