Hi There,
I'm a little disappointed with my first rep. It is a U-Boat U-42 from TrustyTime. It runs the Asian 6497 manual hand-wind and it doesn't keep the correct time. I didn't measure precisely, but I see it losing about 10 minutes per hour. It also stops sometimes, and can be restarted with a jiggle.
Is this a really bad sign? It's straight out of the box, never dropped.
I've read a lot of posts about the necessity of a quality servicing so it looks like I will have to find a reputable person willing to service a fake.
Thanks for any input.
