ZF 15202 - Need to Repairing! Any watch modders that can help???

[Cray Watch]

Purchased a ZF 15202 and it arrived running and looks great but upon trying to set the time, the crown mechanism doesn’t seem to engage. If the crown is held with the right pressure you can slowly set the time but the mechanism always seems to disengage and therefore I cannot set the time. Looking for a reliable mechanic who may be able to fix this issue. See video below! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried one of the ones you find here? Shouldn’t be impossible to find someone who can help you with a Miyota there

This ZF miyota is a modified miyota, not a direct swap, imho, from what I heard, some parts can be swapped with regular 9015 but some other parts cannot.

Aaaha, didn’t know. Thanks for clarifying!

In general most of the ZF Miyotas are a PITA because they modify them and the balance wheel, making it very painful, not direct swaps, the 5167, Vacheron Overseas, and the 15202 are the 3 which come to mind!
