Its slightly tilted down on the leftt side. Mine is that way too. Seems like a thing of the batch. Hardly noticeable in real life.

It's actually quite easy to fix too. My black/green had that and just opening the watch and fixing this take 2 minutes.

could you please tell more how you did that within only 2 minute?

Can it be rotated without any special chemical treatment?

thanks.

You uncase the movement and use something (I use pegwood stick) to tilt the logo back. It's fixed on the dial in the center, so the sides aren't glued (at least mine wasn't )
be gentle, it's fragile!

Do you know if you can do this to slightly tilted minute markers?

I have had my dark blue for about three weeks now. I can confirm that the rotor/movement is silent and everything lines up. I’ve only worn it on the rubber strap and it feels good. The only issue I had was with the stitching on the strap that I reported a few pages back. Otherwise all good, well recommended!


Are you still satisfied with the rubber? Is the quality recommended?

I've had my white one for a couple of weeks now and I always wear it on the rubber strap. I think it's great, super comfortable and looks fantastic. Perfect for any non-formal occasions.

LIttle update regarding my previous post in this thread about the noise coming from inside the movement whenever I turn my wrist.

I changed from the rubber strap to the bracelet and for some reason I the noise disappeared. Like it is no longer a problem, but I find it very weird.

Anyone have any idea what the reason for this could be?

I would like to alert you to a problem that occurred in my watch and that could potentially damage the mechanism. After two days of wearing the watch I noticed that the watch was more than 50 seconds late and the rotor stopped rotating. After removing the watch I tried to shake it in order to put the rotor in a rotation and then the watch stopped working. Then I shook the watch again and then I noticed that there was something in the case that had fallen out of the mechanism. I opened the casing and removed this element - luckily for me the watch now works fine. Below the photo of the element:

In my opinion - it is the cover of the rotor fixing screw. This element simply broke away and got under the rotor blocking it.

on this picture the cover is on the rotor:

I'm not sure but it seems to me that this element is probably glued to the rotor.
