Any update on the situation?
last update is what I mentioned above. Got the watch back and bezel is now fine but the movement stopped working after 2 days and it doesnt wind at all. The winding action is so stiff that its hard to wind! Emailed them but got out of office email back due do Chinese new year. This is by far my worst experience with a replica
Not yet. Thinking about replacing the movement with an ETA. Are there recommended/trusted watchsmiths on the forum I can send to?So disappointing indeed, one problem after another. Have you tried bringing it to a watch technician?
Definitely my recommended route. I may have missed it but where are you located?Not yet. Thinking about replacing the movement with an ETA. Are there recommended/trusted watchsmiths on the forum I can send to?

My experience with Ryan has always been excellent BUT from 18 (I think) watches I bought from them, seven had issues, one had to be sent back but was returned repaired and is still working fine. The issues were mostly minor (wristband, winding mechanism, falling off glued(?) on ornaments and a loose screw in a Tourbillon). I was only able to repair the Tourbillon, tried to find a watch smith for the rest but nobody would want to touch these replicas, one guy even wanted to keep the watch when he realized it is a replica.
My advice: If you want quality, you really need to choose the latest and basically most expensive version. Even then, you could be out of luck and the watch has issues.
Overall, Ryan and intime are very reliable and honest but the products are what they are and there isn’t much you can do about it. The products are from the usual factories, so you cannot blame Ryan or intime for any issues.
I think the factories should do better with quality control and materials, especially for more expensive pieces. I would gladly pay 50% more if I can be sure that the watch I am receiving is in perfect order. Maybe a chance for Ryan and his friends to offer an additional “extra quality” check for a fee, which would include checking the watch properly if it has quality issues. Just a suggestion...
