With Summer approaching* (disclaimer, not summer for half of planet) it is time for a Nanuq StyleTM EXTREME WATCH TEST. Tests to be conducted include: RAGING TRIAL BY FIRE (Technically trial by pizza oven) TRIAL BY LAND ROVER AND MORE... All we need now is a watch that is up to the task. I've had them all, Polexes, Pamerais, Omegles and Bratlings, few would have been up to this task. Straight from Guangzhou or some such place I bring you, a watch as strong as a tree, because it kind of is a tree.... BEHOLD THE 100% SPLINTER FREE: THE 2014 LOGJUST TEST 1: HERE WE GO, THE EASY STUFF First up, trial by fire. The results are in.... TEST 2: TRIAL BY LAND ROVER The remnants of the watch were driven over by a Land Rover, let's see how they do. Close up: That's a little inconclusive. (Scientific note: it is possible that the watch sample at this point may have been contaminated by surrounding material). TEST 3: DEEP WATER SCUBA TEST SIMULATION Starting depth, six inches. TEST 4: DOG ATTACK CONCLUSION: I would have liked to have conducted further tests with this watch to evaluate its suitability for extreme scenarios such as desk diving, watching TV, drinking, and fist waving at drivers. Not recommended for professional bakers IMHO.

Guys, you need to face the facts, the Chinese can't get new ETA movements, the ones that are available are being snapped up by every boutique watchmaker in the world. All these folks are paying top dollar for movements. They can afford to pay 200 bucks for a 2824, because it's going in and 800-1500 USD WATCH.The Chinese may come across a few movements, but they are cannabalizing older watches for the movements.there are a couple of good Chinese movement companies. Seagull is definitely on a par with ETA. Like others have said, DON'T SEND IT BACK!!! Get it serviced and it should be fine.. AFA the winding while screwing in the crown, that's not a movement problem, that's a stem length problem,or a crown problem and it can happen to ETA movements as well. A competent watchsmith can fix that problem at service. I wouldn't obsess over the way the movement looks, the best you could get in that rep is not going to look like an Omega movement anyway.
