Well, I received my watch about two weeks ago, and after getting it, I set the time, date, gave it a good wind to get it started, the chronograph seemed to work just fine, and everything was fine.
This past Saturday, after not wearing it for a couple of days since I got it, I went to adjust everything again, because the watch had stopped, I noticed that when I was unscrewing the crown to make adjustments, that it didn't feel right, and now I find my self not being able to wind the watch, because, when I pull the crown all the way out, all I can do is adjust the time, and when I push it all the way in, all I can do is adjust the date, but I can't seem to even screw it in all the way anymore. How is it possible, that after two weeks of having it, and taking care of it, I might add, that this things fall apart without evn touching it. Yes I can get it going by shaking it, and it is running o.k., although, the chronograph sems to start, it runs for a couple of seconds, but it stops. Then yes, I can reset it.
Has anyone experienced something similar, do you think that when I got the watch the first time, after setting everything, and screwing the crown back in, that there was something lose already, and iut was just a matter of time???
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
I love the watch, and I don't really want to send it back, but for $568, I don't think this should've happened...

If you can't wind it and if you can't screw the crown back in,
then the first wheel after the steem could be broken. Happened
to me before, you need a new movement. If you can,send it back!
