I can hear the rotor spinning but it sounds very rough, almost like a grinding noise. Chrono is dead. Ive manually wound it very carefully 100+ rotations and got nothing, and there isnt even any increasing tension felt in the spring as Im winding it. Nothing has worked and the seconds hand has not moved a millimeter. DOA.
Ive contacted the dealer and received instructions on how to ship it back to China, which I'm sure will be a lot of fun. Oh well, I understand these things are bound to happen eventually. At least the other watch in the shipment (Pam 318) works perfect so it wasn't a total bummer of a day!
Come to think of it, I've never had any luck with automatic movements in my gens either. Maybe I'm cursed and should stick to hand winds.
