Hello guys and gals, it's been a pleasure learning tons and tons of info from you guys. Very much appreciated.
I bought a Blackbird from one of the trusted sellers. Received it yesterday and was totally satisfied. But when I went to change the date it all went downhill from there.
The date wheel jumped initially like it should have when adjusting it directly, then around 13, 14, 15 the the second number (3,4,5) wouldn't quite line up. While all the other numbers seems to jump into place, these kindof rolled into place. I tried a couple times to get the second number lined up or centered as best as possible, but failed. After a couple revolutions through 31 it got really weird. The numbers would jump all over the place. It would go from 02 to 07 normally, then jump to 17,18, 19 then back to 10, then jump to 21 thru 29, 20, 21, then jump to 32 thru 39....????....
I contacted the dealer and was told to send it back, get it fixed at the factory, and sent back. Approximately 1 month or so. How do they expect me to wait that long after having it in my possession and seeing how nice it looks?!?!?! But after reading some good and bad stories about sending watches back to China, I'm a bit hesitant. My dealer said they would eat 1/2 of the cost if it were to not make it back past customs.
My question is, has anyone seen how the big date complication works for this and I assume the Bentley 6.75? I read in another thread that being it's relatively new, sending it back would be the only way to do it. Does it seem like a tough fix where I "need" to send it back? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
