From what you say, its possible the rotor (oscillating weight) has come off the auto wind bridge. How old is the watch? Best to get someone who is rep friendly to take a look for you because as it is, the rotor banging around within the case can cause even more problems for you.

Wow, that is a looker for sure A.!

Thats way off, looks like its actually come away from the dial. I can help you with this seeing as you are in EU, you would be looking at just €10 euros, plus return tracked shipping. Drop me a pm if interested.

Ah, ok, must be some kind of cocoon for the iPhone then.

Good concept, but seeing as the iPhone is so easy to break, and not submersible, I can force many broken, and water damaged iPhones flooding the market. Pun intended

Well done, looks like you did a great job R.

Lume application does look lumpy.

So is it time to name and shame so others don't get taken advantage of A?

Ah ok, thought as much. The Lello are like a DWO correct? Looks like a date wheel without teeth.

Are these what you are looking for? Silver DWO's by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr

As Hayden rightly advised, make sure you are in communications with the real PT team, and not those of the cloned website of PT.

Welcome back

Whoops, brings back memories when a friends dog attacked one, and his nose was covered in these things.

Yup, go for it.

I will fit the new ceramic insert for you, they are very easy to break, so best left to someone who has experience. Your bezel assembly is perfectly fine, so no need to replace that Wil.

Understood mate,. I was just clarifying, I'm wondering if a new insert would be a better option? Its as if the one fitted has a chemical reaction to anything I put on there unlike others I've done. Edit, yes, get a new insert altogether. And yes, I agree, I am not happy with the last batch of pearls I purchased from BK, and the sad part was he didn't want to resolve after I complained to him about the, Regarding my insert, its been washed with soapy warm water, and its been WR tested to 6ATM too, so its been in water, and not come off.

For reference, I can confirm the OP did indeed pay €40 euros to ship his watch to me (I recall the packaging/post stamp), I'm guessing he didn't choose the cheapest option, it did arrive here in a few days, so no doubt paid more for a faster service.

Are you using a genuine ROLEX CRYSTAL Gasket? From experience, these are a little thicker than a TC crystal gasket, so this could be your problem.

For clarity, it was me who did this PPP mod, in fact, the watch has been back to me several times for this PPP mod, as for some reason, this customer insists that the paint keeps coming off when he goes swimming with the watch on. No idea why this bezel insert is always failing to hold the paint, all other inserts I have done have been perfectly fine including my own watches. Untitled by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr I didn't charge €80 for this mod, I charged €60, and that was with a new pearl which came from BK @ €25 euros. I'm actually at a loss as to what this has turned out like that, and keeps failing, but after reapplying different PPP mods, and paints at no charge, I am walking away from this, there's nothing else I can do. Heres my example, looks much better, so confused as to why yours looks like that, and wonder if you are using any chemical cleaner etc.. Untitled by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr

I have emailed you the address in Spain to ship the bracelet, I will be shipping the watch parts tomorrow, and let you and Toro the tracking info, I suggest you do the same once the bracelet is on its way to his watch guy, the sooner they arrive, the sooner you can get some money back so you can get yourself another rep.

A photo would help.

Can you detail what parts exactly you are attempting to build together?

Welcome aboard, and greetings from Finland
