Well, I woke up this morning and noticed that my Sub had stopped moving. I've had it for about three weeks and am in love, so much so have just ordered 4 more watches.
However, when I started to test it noticed some SERIOUS problems. Firstly, I could turn the hour and minutes around like normal. It would go around for over 24 hours which was fine, what I did notice is that the date wouldn't tick over once the 24hrs had been completed. I tried this for multiple times to no avail.
From there, I tried to click the dates over, which worked and still works. Then I went to do the time movement again and it got really bad as now the hour hand gets stuck at midnight and the minute hand spins separate to the hour hand (and it's not smooth obviously). When I got back in time, the hour hand moves to the 9 marker and then get stuck, so it's now internally jammed between 9 and 12.
Also, the watch's automatic movement does not hold a charge.
This watch came from PureTime and cost a small fortune (well, in my opinion for a Rep - circa $700AUD) by the time it landed here after two months.
I know the #1 rule is to not send the watch back to China, which frankly I agree with. I am very handy and am planning on learning basic watchmaking - have already purchased the water proofing test machine, have silicone, have watchmaking tools - waiting on gaskets and the Rolex case back opener.
Any advice or thoughts on what I should do? Very unhappy right now.
