To whom it may concern,
As my watch (model: 5M43-0B19, S/N: 6D8256) was clearly in need of repair, I recently took it to the Lexington Repair Center where the defective components in the watches are repaired. To my surprise, my request for the repairs to be billed to your company was declined in spite of the fact that there are still three years remaining in the coverage period. As there are no other authorized service centers in my area, I decided to pay for the repairs myself.
The following are the charges billed by the service center:
Parts:
New mainspring...........$23
New hour hand.............$8
New battery...................$5
Labor.............................$34
Total..............................$70
Showing prices including tax
I have included a copy of the receipt I got for the repairs and a copy of my warranty certificate. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Regards,
Tomas Rodriguez
