Hello gents,
About six months back I purchased a perfect clones GMT Master II clone.
I'm thrilled with the overall appearance of the watch. The crystal is solid, the bezel clicks nicely, and the dial is convincing.
The movement on the other hand: The rotor came loose about a month after purchase, which I had repaired at a local watch shop. I was informed that the "swiss" ETA movement I paid for was in fact a chinese copy. The power reserve sucks. If I don't wind it every other day or so, it stops. It doesn't keep good time (tends to gain 1-2 minutes a day). Most annoyingly, the date wheel is not aligining in the window most days out of the month. It seems to get worse every time I adjust the date.
My question is: Is there anyone out there that could replace or repair the movement in this watch to make it preform the way I would like? I'd prefer someone stateside so as not to have to screw with customs again. I'd gladly pay for good service and workmanship.
Thanks.

I'm way too clumsy to go mucking around with the parts within the movement. I could maybe handle a wholesale exchange of it to a real ETA, but I'd probably just assume to pay someone. Any suggestions / what I should expect to pay?
Thank you for the replies!!
