Another picture

Very happy to own my dream car!!!

Thanks for your comments - really appreciate it. Seller is willing to replace - so hopefully all good. Will update the mechanism per your suggestion anyway!

I would prefer the better movement as I really like this watch and want to keep it for awhile

Thanks Guys . I see the miyota 8205 has day and date, and the 8215 has just the date, I assume both will work even though my watch does not have window for the day? Also I see that the 8205 is more expensive then the 8215, I assume that is because it's a better movement ? Or is that not necessarily the case?

Thanks . It's the other way round. Works fine just sitting on the table. Stops after 1 hour if I wear it. :-(. How do I get hold so a watchsmith on the forum?

So I checked ebay. Wow - all those 21j movements look different . Not sure which one will fit my replica??

Lovely watch. Had the exact same thought - and found a second hand one for similar price. Enjoy!

Ok so it looks like it's not the caseback. It turns out the watch runs fine as long as I don't WEAR it?? I associated the caseback with the problem as I never wore the watch with the caseback off for obvious reasons and so it worked fine. I can only assume now that the rotor whilst moving (ie when I am wearing it) is causing the watch to run down or interfering with something else.

Any ideas? Or is this better solved with a replacement 21j? I checked on parts sale section but nothing at the moment - will check ebay as well. Or is a replacement best procured from a TD?

Sigh

Thanks for the help

Some more pics. Watch going in today

Agreed - pictures are terrible. Will post some better ones in the am - pretty late here and the family is asleep! There is a gasket ( will send some pics). If the rotor is stuck would that account for the watch stopping after 1 hour even if fully hand wound?

Cheers

Thanks! Will give this a try and let you know

Hi Guys!

Super excited. Bought this replica Rolex Deep Sea. It's a beautiful thing. Got it yesterday. Apologies for the picture quality - in need I can upload better quality pictures.

The movement works fine. However with the caseback on the watch lasts for about an hour then stops. I left the case back off last night and when I woke up the watch was still ticking. Put the caseback on, hand wound it about 15 to 20 times and sure enough stopped and hour later. Took the caseback off again and it's been running no problem the whole day. I can only assume that the caseback is somehow interfering with the movement. Any ideas?

As an aside can the buffs here tell me what movement this is?

Thanks for your help
