Is it just me or does the Noob look better? 

Just go to a second hand watch repairer. That's what I do with my reps in the UK. Watch is a watch and most watch repair shops don't refuse reps.

Mine has been repaired. The guy was suprised it worked at all as he said the Crown wasn't long enough for the movement.

Has anyone had their 219, 005, 0r 177 from the new HBB factory, found that the crown disengages, and will not reingage, causing the watch to stop functioning? My 219 from Trusty has..

This morning I was winding it and when I pushed the crown back in along with the lever guard, it was stuck in the time set mode. I cannot wind it as the hands spin around.I tried to gently press the winder into the case, with no luck. It ticks but will not run. This is a new one for me after 5 years of collecting. If anyone has a fix, please let me know. Sending back to China is not what I want to do. Thanks in advance,

Hi, this exact thing happened to my 005 from Josh after around 3 days. I took it into my local watch maker a week ago and he said it didn't need a whole new movement and just needed a couple of new small parts as they had broken. Only $50 with fitting, but I'm still waiting delivery of these parts (and we're not 100% that he can get the parts from the EU disty that will work with the asian 6497 version of the movement). What was the outcome of yours?

My back up is just getting a whole new movement installed, which I prefer to sending it back (out of stock anyway). It would be less than $100 either way for me and considering the quality of the watch I'm not too bitter about the situation.
