MapsMoney Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Damn, this sucks.. Yeah should it be green or blue? What's gen.. I'm gonna get a new one shipped then get it modded... new colorless AR , proper lume, and most likely get the movement worked on / gmt hand fixed if possible.

kuli Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I've similar problems with the 088 1. GMT hand is in a world of its own. Doesn't function alongside with the other hands 2. Power reserve is unstable sometimes 1 day sometimes less. 3. sometimes the watch just stops for an hour and starts on its own again. 4 Lume is green while on others its blue Where did you get blue lume? Mine works perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sometimes the new movements are a little sticky, it can break in. Also, if it's still not moving try lleaving the crown guard open, and see if it runs. Sometimes the stem is to long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapsMoney Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 na it doesnt work whether its in or off.. idk man, im gonna wait for my replacement..

MapsMoney Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Can somebody who actually knows about movements tell me why the $&!&$ it would keep time for a few minutes then the minute hand just STOPS .... The seconds keep spinning round and round but minute hand does not move. What the hell I don't understand what could be the problem, crazy.

blbl Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Where did you get blue lume? Mine works perfect This thread sold me the watch esp the lume shot. http://www.rwg.cc/topic/140772-just-received-my-pam-088-18-pics-from-trustytime-wow/ It is blue but on mine its green with lots of crappy problems.

MapsMoney Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 ^ it only looks blue in that one pic, gen is lime greenish lume as the rep is.. mine looks great minus the poor AR coating, but the movement is just bad.. it doesnt work at all ;(.. Im waiting on a replacement ;0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is why we use trusted dealers .. they will always replace a bad watch. The game does not change .. you MIGHT get a bad one .. but a trusted dealer will treat you right. If you don't want to send it back to China, there are trusted watchsmiths here ready to fix it up.

blbl Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ohh, so the gen's lume is green? Lol the blue looks amazing though! Yup my movement and AR isn't there, watch is back with the dealers for a change. Any idea when does CNY period end in China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 It's officially over on the 3rd. However, many people are still traveling from their home village back to their city for a week afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapsMoney Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 yeah kinda sucks. if anyone here trusted wants to help me out in fixing , re-lume and possibly reapply better AR coating on this piece i'd love to send it your way, it's a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxman Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 The AR is great in my opinion. I think that is a little more reflective do to the shiny black dial and why would you want it relumed? Mine is as bright as a torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seconds keep spinning round and round but minute hand does not move. What the hell I don't understand what could be the problem, crazy. esentialy it is a slipping clutch, butr the seconds hand does not run through the clutch so that is why the seconds run fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MapsMoney Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 where can i get it serviced? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Well if you are really in NY, like your avatar says, then contacting the Katt is a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxman Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I don't think Katt will work on the 7750's. His buddy serviced a 7750 for me awhile back and did a great job but didn't come cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapsMoney Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I am in NY, and don't know who the Katt is .. can someone recommend me. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Does the 088 rep use a 7750?? It's a GMT movement, isnt it? If its a 7750 then George in Texas or Vaccum in Florida are your men ... Katt does not do 7750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapsMoney Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 not sure what it uses honestly, but I am willing to send it off and get it modded proper.. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
