Ohhh god, I really like VSF, they change the game in Omega rep industry. I have ordered both Blue GMT 600M, and white Aqua Terra. Everybody are enthused with silver-blue dial, but for me is white-orange and black-green the best of. Silver-blue looks like spilled ink on paper :)

$10 says it is just fine and you didn't know an automatic watch needs to be wound when it has run all the way down.

If this is not the case, my apologies. Most of the time with a new member my $10 is safe

Do you want my address to send ten bucks? I can assure you I know how an auto watch works! I took the movement out to see if it was something stupid like second hand getting caught on crystal but no joy with that, it did run with a little tickle but second hand always stopped in the same position so I sent it back

I had a rep that when it run out of charge the second hand stopped always at the same position. The charge lasted 48hours and when it was dead there was no need to wind it manually just shake it a bit and could easily charge on the wrist. I sent it to my watchsmith and he said that if an automatic watch winds normally and keeps the charge at night when you leave it for about 12-15 hours without manually winding it, there is no need to fix it.
So maybe that's something normal.

Its definitely not right! When wound or on the wrist the second hand wouldn't move at all, with movement out it ran when i phisically (gently) moved the second hand but would then stop dead after one revolution to the same position.

ok, I believe you and I apologize if I offended you. More often than not when someone asks a question like this that has a very minimal # of posts they just don't know so that was the reason for my comment

then probably there is some dirt in between the second and minute wheels, or probably defective badly shaped.
