Hi all, thank you for your feedback. I will put a message into the TD and let him know about it. And yes, haha. I actually remembered I joined this site 5 years ago after my post and it showed how long I've been a member. I had some interest back them but never ended up following through. I did try giving it some movement at the beginning prior to winding, but it didn't do any good. Interestingly enough after the past few days of observation, the watch works 100% fine if I don't wear it. If I keep in on my nightstand overnight, I'll wake up and it's kept time. I didn't wear it today and it did great. It's only after I put it on that it works for about 30-60 mins until dying. I'm a little worried about sending it back cause they may not be able to replicate the problem and just assume "problem solved" when they see it working, as opposed to having to wear it for a period of time to realize it's issues. I thought I had read enough but obviously not. I'm trying to go through the forums for more info, but definitely a lot to digest. Any suggestions for similar ones that are reliable?

Hi everyone, I am new to all this and was hoping for some guidance... I purchased ROLDYT0061A from Trusty Time on 10/16 (I'm unable to include a link as this is my first post). It arrived yesterday (exactly two weeks later). All looked good. I've never purchased a replica before and also have no experience with an automatic movement so this is where I'm looking for help... I followed the instructions to wind the watch (unscrewing the crown counter clockwise, then turning the crown clockwise for several turns, then screwing the crown back in), but it didn't work. When turning the crown to wind it, I can sense a decent amount of resistance, is this normal? I played around with it some more and found if I push the crown in (albeit not all the way) while I try winding it, there's more of a clicking sensation which is more of what I'd expect when winding a watch. However the feel of pushing it and winding it at the same time is not that pleasant, and my thumb is quite sore for having to do it several times today. So anyhow, eventually the watch started ticking. I tried to give it some motion on my wrist to get it's energy up, however soon after it stopped going. So I started the process again and the same thing happened. Then it continued all day today. I kept track and every time I manually wind it, it keeps the time for approximately 30-60 minutes until it stops. I then I have to manually wind it again and it stops again. I've been wearing it all day so it's been getting movement. Is there something I'm missing or not doing correctly, or does it sound like I received a defective watch? Thank you for any help you can provide!
