I recently received my 177L from Josh and its having some issues with the movement. I notice it getting stuck at 54 second mark. With a light tap it begins again. This is with the lever on or off. Crown pushed in or out. Any ideas?

I just got one from him too. and I too have movement issues. different kind though.
mine's 2 hours fast per day, or 5 minutes fast per hour. yeah, must have been a
rough ride here I guess?

I've talked to Josh, and in typical his typical style it went like this:
the watch was fine when I shipped it, it must be your fault.
no Josh, it's not my fault, I opened the watch up and it was running like this.
well you must have dropped the watch or given it a hard impact then.
no Josh, I never dropped the watch or hit it on anything, all I did is wind it and set
it on my desk after setting it to match my computer's clock.
well the problem you have came from it being dropped, and it was fine when I
shipped it, I sent you a picture on the timing machine of it being fine.
I understand that Josh, it probably got beat up in transit. your package was very,
very small, and there was little to no padding to protect the watch at all.
well it must be fixed by a watchsmith, are you a watchsmith? the hairspring needs
to be untangled Sir, if you're not a watchsmith, can you have someone to help you?
no Josh, I'm not a watchsmith, and I don't know any, I've never really needed one
for reps because I usually buy from Lay. if there's an issue with a watch from Lay
he has me send it to his local USA watchsmith for repair for free.
well you can either fix it yourself or ship it back to me and I'll try to sort it out from
there for you. but if you say that shipping caused the damage it might just happen
again if you send it back to me.
okay Josh, I understand. it's my problem now I guess, I'll find myself a watchsmith
then to have it fixed, and let me guess, I'm paying for this by myself?
well you should have a proper service done on the watch and have it repaired as well,
that will set it on a proper schedule of maintenance.
thanks for your help Josh.
(from now on I'll never buy another watch from Josh, Lay is my go-to guy, period)
a new one?
not likely. they'll take what you sent back and have a chinese guy repair
it, then they'll send that same one back to you.

only the dealer of the year.
at our recent GTG, 1 of the mates also were mentioning abt some movt issues with the new 177L where the movt always stops at a certain time of the day and he doesnt know why either. so i dun tink the movt issues is a rather widespread 1.
strange- though josh is not a trusted dealer here, he has been known for his after sales service......and that doesn't sound like after sales service to me!!!
glad we have our own great dealers here!

I have purchased 4 watches from Josh, all have been great transactions. My 177L from him is working very well. No issues at all. But, bad stuff happens from time to time with all dealers.
MM- sorry to hear about your bad experience. That is not a fun position to be in. I do think Josh will get it fixed for you, but it is unfortunate that he did not respond from the beginning in a helpful manner. If he would have done that, you would probably be a repeat customer for him, so Josh is losing out.

The movement in my 177L went a bit funny. I was winding it, and the stem slipped from the inner gears and the crown was free spinning. made the mistake of removing the stem in the winding position, so when I put it back in I messed up the keyless works. So now it winds, but cant set the time. I was sooooo pissed off.
Rather than fix myself and maybe mark the dial. (I can do it, but don't want to mark it). I have ordered a regular swan neck engraved movement - with the thicker CdG engravings even if it is incorrect it has the 21600vph - as a replacement. I was always going to replace and would rather do it once rather than twice -1st repair, 2nd replace.
Cost me $78 for a replacement movement. Maybe a bit much, but I just wanna fix the thing. Beautiful watch.

Mate, why would a watchsmith need a website?
A little time spent reading the board would lead you to the watch repair section on the front page. To make things real easy it's here: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/forumdisplay.php/watch-repair-modification-experts-204
