My New Watch died

[ringpiece]

OK. I am not what has happened. It has just stopped working. I have only had it about a month. It is a Tag Carerra Calibre 16. Asian 7750 28000bph.

It's quite annoying as it was cheap. I am awaiting a response from the dealer as it is still covered based on their warranty.

It started when I tried to run the chrono on it. The chrono wasnt working, but the seconds at 9 were running as normal. Then the whole thing just stopped. Also the winding mechanism that I can see through the back of the watch seems to be spinning more freely than it did before.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Sorry Ring..
But you get what you paid....as you said cheap!!!!
Good luck with the dealer...

"Cheap" and "7750" don't usually go together...

I disagree that cheap has much to do with it. These things should work for longer than a month when treated right. Let us know what the dealer says.

I meant to say it wasn't cheap, it was the most expensive watch I have bought so far. Sorry guys

LOL! Reason more to get it fixed then. But seriously, let us know what the dealer says... The alternative is to save some time, spend some more money, and send it to a good watchsmith to have it fixed and fully serviced. That's a must if you plan to keep it for a long time IMO.

I will wait to see what the dealer says. I have a feeling they will be happy to help, but we shall see. Anybody know of a decent watchsmith in London who is happy to work on a rep?

If you're in London, use Domi in Germany. His RWI user name is dmuit. He'll fix and service your watch in no time.

The dealer in question has been through a series of questions and is satisfied that I can send it back to them for repair. I am going to send it back over the next few days. As soon as it's fixed I will be sure to add my review for this watch in their delaer section outlining how the repair process went.
