Is Noob AP Roo second @12 so unreliable or the watchsmith played a trick on me?

[Headache]

I do not want to pay to someone who tricked me but there is no proof.

Can somebody know well about this movement able to tell me that can a watchsmith who knows the movement very well do something to the movement and the watch still working at the spot and continues for many hours before it is dead?

Yes, it is possible to sabotage a watch movement.

That is quite scary and many innocent people must have encountered this bad experience. Hope that there is no further trick from this watchsmith. Will see

Rep movement are produced with little care as regards to quality, material or diligence in less than ideal conditions. These parts are then assembled frequently with hairs, dirt and on occasions crisps falling into the build.

Do not blame watchsmith for intentionally causing issue, on hearsay or assumptions. Here is a link to well respected Forum Modder who explains more about rep expectations...

If my first watch come back fine then I should not think too much. Blame on my bad luck. Anyhow, pay to somebody who spend lots of time learning his skill despite trick or not. Then, I will have the second one to be worried.

Positive thinking and can never proof anyway.

bro if your watch mechanic could make you watches die 48 hour after pick up he should be working for mossad or cia not fixing cheap watch. some time you got to accept these chinese movements will die after removal and will last forever when you dont touch. how is it even possible for your mechanic to removal the roo 42mm glass from the back. it just dont make sense from the construction

Then I do not mind to pay. Just so unlucky. Understand that this hobby is not cheap.

Regarding how the watchsmith took the crystal out, I did not see the whole process. But the very first thing he did was taking out the movement of the first watch after opened the back case. Then he told me it may take a while and asked me to come back in 40 minutes. I assume that he took the crystal out from the back. When I was back they were both finished.
