My VSF Carbotech stopped working after 2 years. I like the watch a lot and it wasn't cheap at the time, I prefer not to discard it :).
What are my options ?
I bought it from puretime, their description about the movement:

MovementUpdated Custom designed Asian automatic movement to match the genuine Panerai P.9000 movement at 28800vph, same balance wheel position as genuine P.9000 movement.

You should consult a local watchsmith. Its impossible to give you tipps without detailed informations about the reasons of the failure. If the movement has to be replaced that wont be a easy task, since the clone movements from VSF are very hard to get.

Was there a resolution to this problem? Did the OP get his watch fixed? If so, what was the problem?

Yes, I got it fixed. I took it to a watchsmith, he said that the watch probably took a hit or a shock. He restarted it and it seems ok.
