At least we have options, I think. I have now ordered a complete aftermarket strap https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008140224127.html (as an “organ donor”, so to speak) and a single replacement link https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004103762060.html, I think it should be worth giving it a try.
That proves that your autowind might have a problem as well. Wearing for 7-8 days I would imagine if your autowind is working properly it should be > 35hrs at a minimum of power
In my experience mixing links between different factories doesn't work well... screws will have slightly different threads, bracelets slightly different tapers etc
That's why I mentioned it as "giving it a try". If it does not work I can always order another link from my TD, they already confirmed that.
Not at all. You can see those rings from all angles and in most lighting conditions on the gen. Not so much on the rep. They often just disappear.
I was talking to Aman, and he told me the new batch seems to be of better quality. It's just a marketing strategy; I went for one; the price was irresistible. The quality control is good; I needed two attempts. I can upload photos if you'd like.
I have the exact same problem and also ordered the same bracelet as you did. Please let me know how it goes, otherwise I might have to buy the real ones...
