Super Avenger - Chrono Off Center

[apollo22]

I ordered a Avenger Skyland but seller made a mistake and shipped me a Super Avenger instead!

I emailed the seller and she's happy to change for me.

Though the watch is a little too big on my wrist I am beginning to like the watch! and am now having thoughts of keeping it. The only problem though is that the big chrono needle does not reset back to the center. It is about a second off, and that irks me.

Do you think a watch repairman could easily fix that?

The other option would be to send it back in exchange for a Skyland which was what I originally ordered.

hi - should be an easy fix for a rep-friendly watchsmith. but as far as I know the skyland reps are much better than the SAs...

a watchsmith needs to pull out the movement, remove the chrono hand and reinstall it correctly. Im guessing $20 or $30 labour?

Mine came that way too.

my 1st skyland had that problem too. More over every time i started, stopped and reset chrono - the needle was becoming more and more OFF the 12 mark. I think the problem was more than just a needle alignment.. I mailed watch back and got a replacement.

Forget about it, it cannot be repaired.
Big quality problem with the Avengers. the Chinese save some money at the wrong place

I had the same problem, the hands are too thin and my watchmaker repaired it but next time I used the chrono the hand was even more off. We tried to glue the hand but it still did not work.

See my posting and Taka already mentioned that also.
