friend I'm sorry for your bad luck. agree with you it's not Li's fault, he's a serious TD. also agree with the lack of "cleanliness" of cf in the assembly of the rep. now we are used to it.
hope you can solve without problems.

I would say it's TD fault, not checked the chronograph prior sending QCs, and he didn't heard the screw moving into the watch? Lol

mari115 He did and also sent videos of chrono working. Can you imagine how shipping guys treat our packages? The skrews where lose but during shipping they startet to fly around. I say it once more: its not Li's fault.

If he did send the video of the chrono working they must have handled it for sure, how couldn't they hear or feel the sound of the extra screw flying in the movement, and if it was stuck in the gear already, how could the watch work properly?

I mean, at least the second screw problem could have easily been avoided with some kind of extra care that a 800$ watch deserves lmao

Like the owner say its may be the transport , everybody know Li are serious and profesionel , and if the mouvement are build to ligth by CF , postal service in this time have many work and I think the package can fly when he jump in other transport truck

Bruh no one said it wasn't the transport that broke the one screw, I'm referring to the SECOND extra screw that shouldn't have been in the watch in the first place, it's something you can feel if it's freely moving in the watch, and if it's not freely moving it means that it's most likely stuck and stopping something else from working properly, and therefore it should have been detected during handling and QC.

I could feel a broken moving screw in my daytona when i had a similar problem last year, I felt it as soon as it detached, and it got randomly stuck in the hairspring and in the rotor.

Surely it's a mistake and it can happen to anyone, I'm just saying that some more quality control could be great, especially if we are paying extra for everything.

We're paying it a lot less than a Noob. Let's not forget the Clean bezel, the Arf bracelet, a better dial and .... the work of a watchsmith.

That's a strawman and it has nothing to do with my point.

So expect the same quality control as any rep

That's definitely true, but we are still paying for it (i'm not even mentioning the BS 65$ shipping fees) so I understand Derjenigewelcher, I'm feeling frustrated even if it is not my watch lol

Lol you all must be kidding.
If you want every watch bern opened and controlled 1 hours with a magnifier, all prices go up 50%.

Well today me and a friend received our Panda Daytonas.
Here is mine: Chrono Minute Hands set wrong (But that was not the case at QC). So tested, and it just does not come back properly after using chrono.



Even shittyer has Watch 2/2 of my friend: Chrono did not work AT ALL, from beginning. After he opened up caseback, he couls see a skrew and a ring for fixing movement BROKEN and between pusher and movement. After removing he could use chronograph, but only 1 Skrew can be fixet for movement holder ring. What a bullshit. But can happen during shipping.
What Should NOT FUCKING HAPPEN is a second skrew inside the movement, flying around, which i guess has fallen the watchmaker inside and he didnt find it anymore, but had some stress to build those watches.
Really angry and trying to understand, but if you call prices like that, just dont sell bullshit with lose /too much/ broken skrews.


I saw a few things from Clean which arent very good, from bezel springs that are to large, wrong reference numbers in engraved case (in this daytona also by the way....), waaaaaaay to much lube unter bezel to make it smooth, plastic/hair/paper inside watch, and few other things. Thinking about buying next Clean well...

I'm really sorry for you. It's extremely annoying when that happens, especially when you wait a long time for it.
What I would like to know is how was it packed and how long was it in transit? It sounds like it was damaged in transit, especially when I read your other information about the QC pictures.
