Entering an PP AD to have some quartz watch battery replaced... Now who is going to have the guts to do this ???

too bad... I guess the price and availability of a Franken Valjoux rep is outragous, right?

congrats on your 1000th post, and thanks for this review

Nice review... if my wrist were big enough, I'd be all over this watch... Maybe I could use one as a clock, though...

Never heard of this one... does one of our dealer carry it? @freddy333 Thanks, expert response very informative

back to the threat... the gen does have asymetric pusher... right?

what's the url of this site ??

yep... does'nt work though... sending back the watch. Thanks God, Josh seems to have a pretty good after sale service.

Quote from http://watchinghorology.com/ BREAKING NEWS - World No.3 Swiss movement supplier acquired by Hong Kong group It has finally happened. The Chinese are firmly entrenched and will be making serious impact on the Swiss watch industry. It was reported in LeTemps.ch that the Peace Mark Group from Hong Kong had acquired STM group of companies - the world no.3 in watch movement supplier (both in quartz and mechanical movements). The amount of the buyout transaction was not be disclosed but the 1500 employees will be taken over, namely 154 in Sion (VS), around 70 on the site of Les Reusilles (BE) and the 1200 based in China. The STM group comprised of Soprod (who supplied to some well known brands such as Richard Mille) Swiss Ebauche and Indtec. Soprod is the jewel in the crown as it provides ETA type/based ebauches to various brands. They provided customisation service to fit the movements to the brands. The Peace Mark Group already owns the Swiss brand Milus and now will be able to reposition itself in the Swiss watch heirarchy both for Milus as well as any other brands in its stable. For some years there had been debates and discussion in the Swiss industry how it would meet the challenge of Chinese made watches esp. its ever improving quality in finishing and even the Chinese tourbillons. It seems that the Swiss had miscalculated the financial clout of the Chinese and their desire to control the lucrative watch market. With the control and access to these important Swiss movement manufacturers, it appears that the Swiss industry is in danger of losing its competitive edge. Will the movements still be Swiss Made? Will the Chinese movements have the right to be called Swiss Made? The Swiss industry appears to be in for an interesting and rough ride over the next few years.

Well... I'm still waiting (almost 3 month) for my Nautilus from TTK... waiting is hard after reading all those comments on this great watch

nice I like it

Got this reply from Josh, he's suggesting a quick hack: 'The top pusher.. When you depress.. depress at an angle.. on the side of the pusher.. It will get the right contact ' I'll try this at home tonight and keep you posted

Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted

Bought the same watch from Josh, and got the exact same problem... Send an email to Josh today, I'll keep you posted on what happens next...

bo way I'm getting quartz... this is such a cheap giveaway...

I love the SS version... where does these come from?

I just love this watch... let'shope it's repped sooner or later...

er... how about a good old Swatch... solid, reliable, quartz accuracy...

I don't either, my small wrist would never fit the watch, but I really love the looks. If they ever make a alarm version, I'd love to have this as an alarm clock - a Fanthom (or white Fanthom, just imagine), with superlume would be sooooo cool [update] Notice how this one would be quite easy to superlume !!!

How many time before it's repped?
