Got my 196 H from Toro for about 4 weeks ago. Been noticed that the Crown is a bit wiggle, and today even worse. Now its dead, nothing happens. It dosen`t feels right when i try to wind it. I tried to give it a good spank, but nothing. What to do? Easy fix?

Talk to Toro and see if he can have it fixed for you. Takes time but... that's the way it goes. Or you could have a guru fix it I suppose.

Since you´re in Europe, I would not ship the watch back to China!

Just talk to Toro if he is willing to pay a bit for the repair in EU...

I shipped only once a watch to China.... never saw it again...

AND the quality of the repair in EU is in my opion also a lot better!

Give the watch to a watchsmith is always the best thing to do, try to ask those in your area if they work with the reps ;)
