Just wanted to give an update with my communications with Mary. To her credit she did offer a refund but I really didn't want to send the watch back, so after some negotiation she agreed to send me a new braclet and a new bezel and refund $25, which I though was a very fair and proper thing to do. Hats off to Mary!!

Photos as promised.

This is what I was thinking. It could end up a whole lot more hassle than it's worth? Can you suggest a modder here in the UK?

No, The pics she sent didn't show any of these problems!

Beleive me pal, you don't need a magnifying glass to see this bit of dust. Pics to follow soon.

Hi guys, I am fairly new to the forum but have always had a look to see what's going on and have been on the look out for a good dealer to buy from. I selected Mary after reading a few positive posts from other members. So I ordered the PO 42mm swiss at$310. However, after receiving the watch I was dissappointed to find that the watch has a few issues. Not knowing to much about the rep world and the quality, am I being to picky with the problems I have listed below or is this the norm? I have sent Mary an email but as yet I haven't had a reply. Here are the problems; • Dust under the glass above the date. • Small mark on the AF above the 12 o’clock position • The marker at the 6 o’clock position is not straight • There is a very small mark on the number six • The clasp is scratched • The link next to the clasp is scratched • Clasp is very hard to close • The small ring around the pearl at the top of the bezel is flawed. There are gaps around the ring and the quality of the ring is not good. Wwould really appriciate any feedback/comments. Thanks!

Hi, it's the centre large sweeping hand.

Hi, I recently bought the 3717 from Andrew and absolutly love it! However I do have a slight problem (well I hope it's only slight). The second hand sweep keeps stopping at the 5 o'clock position?? if I give it a little shake or push the top chrono button it start moving again. Can anyone advise on the problem and what I can do about it. I don't partically want to send it back, although i know Andrew will get it sorted. I would like to sort out myself is possible. Many thanks.

Thanks to all for your help and advise!!

Your right, given that the watch is of very low cost, sending it back doesn't make any sense. I think I will buy the movement and give it a go myself! Where would you recommend the best place to pick up the movement and tools?

I've had mine now for about two months. However I find that each morning when I go to put it on, I have to wind it up, give it a shake etc... to get it going. Even then, it will stop a few times more before it really gets going. This has only started to happen within the last couple of weeks. I understand that it is only the basic asian movement but I would have hoped for some form of accuracy. Any suggestions? Thanks

What movement does it have?

Thanks Demonslayer, I really am a complete novice in this area. Are there any visual instructions on doing this? I'm worried I'll end up breaking it!

Hi Guys and girls, This is my first ever post and have to say I have learn't so much by just reading some of the many interesting posts on this site. It's opened up a whole new world I didn't know existed! So much so, I decided to start with Trusty's seadweller lite after reading some recent reviews. It looked good and a really reasonable price. Well, I recieved it in the post today and WOW! it really is a great watch for the price. However, one problem, the movement is so noisy. You can hear this thing in the next room wizzing around. Should it be like this? surely not. I know I didn't pay a lot for it but it is loud! I have sent Andrew an email, just waiting for a reply. Has anyone else had this problem? is there anything I can do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
