Bought A Daytona win "Seiko Movement" which seems faulty

[donkey]

Recently I ordered a Daytona with Chinese Seiko movement directly from Alibaba. Unfortunately, the movement seems to stay behind sporadically. I have tried to clarify this with the seller but his repo response was that I have to wind the watch. I do that regularly for a week now but nothing has changed. I have decided to open the back of the watch and you can see what I have found below. The movement looks like crap. LIke some movement for 10 USD or less. Is this really the Chinese Seiko Daytona movement or I have been lied to?. Just look at this cheap white plastic around the movement...The Seiko movement cost was 200 USD, the other with ETA 7750 380 USD

if you buy too cheap, you buy more than once

True that. I bought now the one with ETA 7750, but I will apply for a refund for the other one though. But still - is this really the Seiko movement. The Chronometer does not work as well, but this was expected. Does the ETA Daytona also have such e plastic around the movement? Do you have pictures of it?

You were scammed for what you paid for the POS Daytona.

Doesn't look like seiko movement to me. Actually the plastic around the movement is normal for cheap replica. If you low budget better buy daytona homage like pagani design. The movement reliable.
If you have more budget buy Better factory daytona.

POS Daytona? I have bought from this shop which seems to be one of the biggest at Alibaba https://boqinrui.en.alibaba.com/?sp...95a76e9CowkFF&tracelog=from_orderlist_company I don't understand why they would scam their buyers. Such seller do not survive long there

If you're going to buy a cheap chrono, get one with a quartz movement.

Sidefact: Seiko are japanese movements.

I bought another watch with A7550 from the same crappy Alibaba shop. The watch looks great, but the A7550 movement has around 6 minutes deviation per day even after I have adjusted it spring from the small dial. I am pissed off by this Chinese crap. Most probably I will go to the local Tudor shop and buy the new pro model and stop wasting my time

I would be too if I bought from some random AliBaba store, not once but twice! Browse around this forum a bit more and check out the trusted dealers.

I wouldn't say just because there is a white plastic movement spacer, the movement is junk/cheap. The white spacer is used to center the movement in a case that wasn't designed for that particular movement dimensions.

This doesn't look like a legitimate Seiko NH-35 movement as every one I have ever seen or used to build watches has "Seiko NH-35" noted on the movement itself.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
You literally came to this forum that has so much information and links to trusted dealers and went back to the same shop that sold you garbage once already. What were you thinking?

 

[Perpetual_One]

Jesus, made me laugh. Why would you go back and expect a different outcome. I smell BS surely people aren't that stupid?

You won’t because the Pro has a year long waiting list at best. Throw those shitty Daytona’s away and buy a BTF Daytona from one of the Trusted dealers here.
