I would go with the Tag carrera,unless you find the accurate Speedy,than I would say "toss up". I dont think the Carrera has any consistent Issues,any rep can have problems,even the very best of them,good luck with your decision
I agree, I also wouldn't buy from him for several reasons. One of those reasons Is he comes across as a [censored],rude and lacks any kind of CS skills. Oh wait,thats two reasons,sorry Would not last here a week
Then you might want serously consider returning It,while you still have time.If you have found someone who works on reps then get there opinion,good luck
+1 This Is what I would do If the watch Is bad as you say It Is. Can you hear the rotor spinning while It's on your wrist? If not then this might not be a issue. Like already stated above,dont hand wind your auto reps,better to swirl/rotate It In your hand to power It up. Good to hear from you Timbo,btw quartz watches have dates,but they have no soul, just saying
