【Mail-In Repair from Aichi】Chanel Première Size Reduction (L to M) & Overhaul Case｜Nationwide Service
For Chanel Première Belt Size Adjustment, Choose LA CHOU CHOU
This time, we would like to introduce a mail-in repair case requested by a customer living in Aichi Prefecture.
Repair Request
Brand: CHANEL Model: Première
Services: Belt size reduction (L size → M size), Overhaul, Leather cord replacement
The watch was inherited from the customer’s grandmother.
She had purchased it in the early Heisei era and had not used it since then.
Since the watch had never been overhauled since its original purchase, we performed both a size adjustment and a complete overhaul this time.
Expertise Required for Chanel Première
Due to its distinctive chain-style bracelet design, adjusting the size of a Chanel Première requires specialized knowledge and advanced techniques.
As far as we are aware, LA CHOU CHOU is the only workshop in Japan capable of performing Première belt size adjustments.
With numerous repair cases handled, you can confidently entrust your Chanel Première to us.
※ Please note that leather cord replacement is required when performing size adjustments due to the structure of the bracelet.
Leather Cord Options
You may choose between
・ Genuine (original) leather cord
・ Custom-made aftermarket leather cord
Our aftermarket leather cords are custom-ordered exclusively for our shop, using the same type of leather, color, width, thickness, and weaving method as the original. Although classified as aftermarket, they are virtually identical in appearance and quality.
Since aftermarket cords are more cost-effective, they are the most popular option among our customers.
