I've fixed the lever on 3 of my Grahams with a very simple solution that was discussed when the Grahams were launched a couple yrs back.
Take a medium thickness cloth and put it on the lever screw/pin. Use a plier and gentle squeeze/apply pressure on the pin. Voila...the lever becomes nice and taut.
You guys in the US have it easy. Here in Singapore, cars cost typically between 2x - 3x of what they sell for in the US.
I drive a Mazda CX-7, which costs about US 33K in the US....but I paid well over US100K here.
A starting sign could be to listen for noise when shaking the watch...loud rotor is a common issue with reps. Also...if winding the watch becomes harder ...for me it's a sign that something is getting screwed up inside.
DDOS attacks are not easy to orchestrate and sustain for this long. So a serious amount of planning and moolah must have gone into it. Also some cyber mafia has to be involved in this.
Cant wait for the mystery to unfold. I love conspiracies.
