Update on my movement issue: Unfortunately the watch stopped again, while I was wearing it. So not the winding issue :-(

When stops winding does not help. Only way to get it going again is hitting it hard. Any ideas of what could be wrong or what I can do in a situation like this? What options do I have?

Man that sucks!! Hope it turns out to be a simple service job that fixes it...

It sounds like you've got one of the very rare dodgy ones. Reach out to a modder/fixer on here, unless you want to risk sending it back to the TD. I'd stay local if I were you with this one.

The watch has not stopped since the service yesterday, so seems the oiling fixed it :)

What did you use as a reference to oil it? And where do you guys pick up your oils?

There have been a lot of nice watches being released this month. I couldn't resist - I tried, I did but I couldn't resist and ordered one. I paid for It last night at 8 pm and woke up this morning to QC pics. Awesome.

Seller thought it was loud lol.

I’ve had one for about a month now. It definitely gets attention - sometimes unwanted attention - most times people love the color and comment on it.

I took the bracelet off this weekend to open the case back and was disappointed to see it says “stainless steel” in between the lugs.

On the upside it does reference the correct model number.

I didn’t take any pics.

Really? Another lie, thought it was white gold? Ordered an arf brushed oyster to tone it down a bit.

Disappointing if you want to slap a light brown leather band on it - which it looks incredible with.

From my experience It’s not the bracelet that amps it up. It’s the dial. No one commented on the bracelet, only the dial.

Hmm.. I hope it fits for you however I have ARF E5N here and it won't fit on the VSF116610 that I tried it on. I could only get one pin located on each side, the pin that did catch gave too high a recess to even bother attempting to bend pins to get the opposite end to catch. I didn't try it on my other VSF.
