Hi folks - i made my first purchase from Sead and i gotta say his communication was great, and this watch is beautiful. it's going to quickly become my favorite i think.
The issue is it's not working out of the box. Before i engage Sead with troubleshooting, i'd like to sense check here to be sure it's not something silly i'm overlooking or a very easy fix.
One thing i'd noticed - and this may or may not be an issue - is the 'pusher' pin that, in my experience, usually requires an unscrewing before pulling out to the various stop positions (wind, date, time) doesn't seem to want to fully push 'in' and lock down. It never screws down to a 'stop' position, but it's default position seems to be 'wind'. May simply be the design of the watch, i dunno.
The date and time set stops work fine - i've wound it up, but it just doesn't engage. I do notice that the self winding rotor (i'm probably calling it the wrong thing - but the half moon-ish piece of metal that very freely spins to wind up the watch) is pretty sticky - it doesn't free spin at all, sometimes it doesn't even at all.
For those of you who have this watch, does the pin position sound right, and is there anything i can be doing myself to troubleshoot before i chat with Sead?
Thanks for you insight!
