  1. The problem is the hand is loose and is just spinning freely. It needs to be removed, and a small amount of epoxy applied to the back where the stem joins the hand. Then install the hand in the proper position and all should be well.

    Thanks Andreww, you the man!

    And also to the rest, you make life so much easier!

    But I don't think I will be opening up the watch anytime soon. So the chrono will not be used till the watch smith open it up and fix it.

    cheers!

  2. Thank you all very much for your advice! I am not worthy.

    Andreww was right. I guess I reset the chrono while it was moving and it was too far from 12.00 mark and past 6.00 mark when i reset it. As a result, it stop at the 1.00 mark, not at the 12.00 mark. It over shot past the 12.00 mark.

    So by following HK45CA advise, I run the chrono till it hit 5.00 mark before stopping it. And reset it. The force kicked the chrono hand anti-clockwise a bit at a time, until it finally rest at the 12.00 mark. :p

    I then start the chrono again but stop at 1.00 mark (less than 10 sec) but perhaps the force was not too great, again it didn't reset perfectly back at 12.00 but between 12.0 and 1.00 mark. sigh...

    This was not the case before I hit the reset button accidentally while the chrono was moving. But then again, according to some experts, the watch ought to be fully wind before using the chrono. So perhaps if my watch is fully wind, the chrono should work fine. How do I know the watch has been fully wind?

  3. Can anyone help me?

    Just received my 1st rep (A7750, 28,800 bph) yesterday. played with the chrono by pressing the start/stop button (the top button). Instead of stopping it, I pressed the reset button!

    The chrono was reset to 1 o'clock position instead of the usual 12 o'clock! Horror!

    Is there anything I can do to fix this besides sending it to a watchsmith?

    :bangin:

  4. Hi guys,

    I did not know taking photo shots can be THIS tough. So I ended up having to use some photographs that Watchstation sent me. Please pardon the lousy photography. Here goes!

    Nice watch from Peter of Watchstation at a MUCH cheaper price compare to many other resident dealers here!

    A7750 28800 but the AR was quite disappointing.

    The strap was a tough stuff to wear. Looking to change the strap soon!

    And I must said "I have arrived!"

    :cc_scooter:

  6. I just received my Skyland v2. This is truly the best rep out of the box I have ever purchased, and I own the Rlx GMT II chs and the PAM 252 North Pole. The AR is truly the best I have ever seen - it rivals my gen Panerais and IWCs. The thing I really love about purchasing this watch is it has saved me over $3,500. While I really like the watch, this great rep has made me realize that I don't love the Skyland enough to buy a gen Breitling - what a great test drive. I get to keep a very accurate model for a fraction of the cost of owning the gen - no one would/will know.

    ;)

    My exact thought too in getting reps. Fraction of the real cost for a piece of art. :)

  7. Hi guys,

    Once again I got kind of overwhelmed. :g:

    While searching for the closest-to-the-gen-rep for Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono (168459-3001), I have came across terms like Version 1, version 2, best version, superb version and ultimate version.

    It's like, wow, which one should I go for? Is it necessary that all these so call top-of-the-line-versions are the most expensive?

    Appreciate if any of you can shed some light. B)

    Cheers!
