VSF 8900 repair. Worth it?

[Stratos858]

Hello.

I own a VSF Omega seamaster 8900. It is 4 years old. After a hit, it stoped working and I can clear see a gear dettached from movement.
I leave in Greece. Is it worth to send it for repair?
Who I have to contact for?

I can't recommend someone but I am not too certain that you'd be able to source parts for it.

The thing you see detached is not a wheel, it is a cover for the rotor screw.

Thank you for your reply and really sorry for the wrong forum post. Yes you are right, it is not a gear. However mevement does not work.
I was thinking to send it back to VSF. On local technician was unable to repair it.
You think worth it?

I do not recommend sending the watch back to VSF/China. The risks of it getting lost or seized are too high.

I would check our Trusted Watchmakers section and see if any of them in the EU would take a look at it.

I would not be surprised if there is something stuck in the gear train. Happens often.
