Hi,

I´m up for buying a watch with roségold parts from PureTime and Angus, does anybody now about the quality?

Prince Date SS/RG Gold Dial on SS/RG Bracelet A2836   or a Chopard Happy Sport. For my wife.

Gunnelof,  if by kinetic you are referring to an automatic mechanical movement, then yes, the BB does us an automatic movement that winds off of your kinetic movements while you wear it.  This and all Swiss and Chinese based clone 2824/ 2836 / 2892 etc  movements work this way (the one that is inside your watch is supposed to be a clone 2824).

 

It sounds like you are may be used to mechanical wind or quartz watches and have not owned an auto before? (If not the case, my apologies).   If  so, just like with a mechanically wound watch, there is only one correct way to hand-wind the watch (typically wind in the 1st position once unscrewed,  in an away motion from you).  With these auto watches, it should only take a few turns and perhaps a light shake of the watch to get the balance wheel moving (if it has a poor oil distribution) to get it ticking.  It sounds like there may be the possibility that you have not turned the crown enough or worn it around enough to wind the main spring and keep it going, but if the aforementioned and a little bit of day to day wear does not fully wind the main spring, you may have an issue after all.   Also, with these automatic movements, you do not have to worry about over winding the spring, as there is a clutch that releases the tension if the spring is fully wound so as not to damage anything, so wind away as much as you want (but be gentle, as these stems tend to be a little more fragile than desired in a Genuine watch).

 

To me it does not sound like this movement is dead, so much as, worst case scenario, may just need a decent service to distribute the oils evenly and get the gears moving.  Hope this helps...  

Thanks - great answer.

What i thought she ment was like the old Casio kinetic winding were the movement charged a battery.

I got nice "self-winding" watches so i could quit easily say that this one had some problem. I really tried to get it run properly. When it worked for 15-20 min it didn't keep time.

But this story has a great ending CNY is over and i did get super-service from PT and Angus. The watch is on it´s way for a checkup and I'm at this point sure they will give me the best service. 

I´ll post here when it comes back just to close the case  

Gunnelof, what is the problem?

I have received mine and it is all good, I love it.

I have read that a few people have had one of the little ceramic balls in the clasp fall out, and I think one person has reported a dead movement.

Out of the 400 or more shipped I don't think that's too bad a failure rate for a rep, especially from a new factory.

I did get an quick answer and they will fix it if i send it to them.

One thing that i wonder about is that Marie maild me its a Kinetic...thats not what it says...

So i tried to wind it like a fool for a couple of minutes, but it didnt work. It runed for 15 min but it didnt keep time.

I dont want to open it to check if its a kinetic, does anybody now if it´s a kinetic or not?

And whats the correct winding if it is?

Im just not familiar with kinetic´s..

Sorry to interrupt. 

But you guys seem to have some experience.

I recived my Tudor BB two days ago, didn´t get any QC pics before they sent it, and when i got it - happy as a child on x-mas- it had a dead movement.

Theres no answers from PT at all, i tried to mail to different adresses but i don't get any response at all.

Anyone who got a none working watch and that can tell me how they do handle it ?

I love the TudBB and just want it running...

I love it swell, just a shame it doesn't work. Dead movement is the problem.

I can work it for a while and it runs for a couple of minutes, when it runs its awesome!

Now I'm just sad, hopping that it will be easy get this right with P-T. 

I´m so looking forward to order about 3-5 watches more, but first i want this fixed.

They have amazingly nice pieces and what i understand its 99% that all works well. I´m just the unlucky one...

Any of you that had problems with your watch?

Heard that Angus is taking the best care of his customers, now its the new year celebration in China…it´s a hard time waiting for answers...

Only 72 hours to tell them if anythings wrong, anyone who knows the best way to report problem to Angus? 

I sent some mail to addresses on the site is that enough? How do they respond and how do the fix it? 

Do I send them the watch, do they send a new?

If you have information please let me know how it all ended for you. I was so looking forward wearing this beauty.

I hate receiving a beauty that not talks to me..
