FAQ

Several established maisons maintain authorised service centres in major Australian cities; always confirm with the dealer before purchase.

Gemset models offer enduring style but factor in long-term service and insurance costs when comparing value.

Service history, authenticity, water-resistance status, and seller reputation are key; request paperwork where possible.
