I’ve heard some crazy stories about Shinola service. There are a lot of similar Indy brands that use third party movements and price at the low end of the luxury market. I think most people expect a $1500 watch to make it through the warranty period and remain serviceable for years beyond that.

Even the most expensive automatic watches eventually need servicing - if they can’t do that I’d say definitely not BIFL.

dang, a Shinola costs $1500 bucks? I bought my Omega Seamaster Pro (used) for only $150 more than that. A $1500 shinola feels like paying $400 for a swatch...

They can do that, not sure what OP is talking about. As you say, it’s just a regular automatic with a sellita movement that any watch guy can repair
