Listen everyone, forgot what I say, read this and the other thread through, make your own minds up about the watch you have and how it performs, look at the pics posted in this thread, play with your watch, change the date, time, and wind the F'er, its either F'ed up or not, it either works or doesn't, it DOES NOT kinda work. Read the words of the dealer saying and admiting they knew the problem existed, think about the amount you paid for this watch, and add all that together with the fact that the selling point was the movement takes gen parts. Just think about it.
I hear you guys about the winder, seems like a good idea, or is it?? First I'm pretty sure most of you didn't spend that much to watch a watch twirl (maybe some of you did, lol), second even if the watch runs for months on a winder that doesn't fix or solve the problem that will probably come later (crown stem breaking when you adjust time, set date, or not work at all), and also consider this, maybe it breaks 3 months from now maybe 5 months, you go to change the date and opps the crown pops out into your hand, ask yourself how your gonna feel when that happens, and finally do you think for a second that dealer is gonna repair, exchange, or refund you for your used watch later?? Nope, their gonna say so sorry, friend. You buy more watch, we find you best one, you like long time, pay now, we ship fast for you, thank you friend.
