montblanc timewalker question please help

[tengun]

So today I recieve my timewalker and I notice the rotor is not moving, I went ahead and took a closer look to see that there is a screw lodge in front of it (picture) is this suppose to be normal? and should I be concern. The watch does work and seems to not have any problem.

Where did you get the timewalker from? Is it an Asia 7750?

If you got it from one of the dealers from this board and it is an asia 7750 movement, then it's definitely wrong.

If you wind it, the rotor should move. So GENTLY try to wind it, my idea is that it won't wind.

If the rotor can't move, it can't store energy from wrist movements into the automatic mechanism, meaning the watch won't wind when on your wrist. So the rotor not moving is definitely bad.

You got a screw loose....contact the dealer and get it exchanged....you will be way ahead in the long run :wink:

guys which one of these timewalkers is the most accurate? I read some threads that it's pretty much 1:1 but one of the chronos in the 3,69 layout the date is going to be recessed which is not acceptable to me. However, another one I saw which I believe is "Pilot" has the dat in the 6 o'clock position; not sure if it is recesed or not.

And lasty we have the standard ETA GMT one. So which one is the "best" out of these. Also how's the AR? Is it not supposed to have any? Lastly, are the engravings on the movement accurate? Thanks.

I actually remove the caseback and remove the screw and it works fine now. The screw that was out of place was one of the screws that hold the movement to the watch so probably thats why its still working. The watch so far keeps perfect time and chronos work and resets properly. I feel I dont need to be alarm and send the watch back for unnecessary repairs the dealer told me to wear it for a couple weeks and get back to her if anything should happen.
