Bosox Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 My wife returned from Istanbul with a nice looking rep which ran for all of two days. It's an open heart and I can see the balance wheel working, but the hands don't move a bit. They're not stuck in any way. My questions are what might the problem be and how serious is it to fix? I can reutrn it to the seller for credit or have it repaired locally, which would be my preference if the cost were not excessive. It's a cheapo so I don't want to drop a bundle. Thanks for any insights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Bosox if it was "cheap" no idea of cost then send it back. In my experience it cost more to service than the cost of a cheap one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right. $150 isn't worth the effort unless it's a very inexpensive repair, but it's a nice looking watch and my wife got it for me which I really appreciate. So I'd still like to have some idea of what the problem might be before I send it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 What movement? If it's and asian clone, you can probably get someone to replace the movement for 50 bucks or so. If its a better movement, which I doubt if the watch was 150.00 USD, you could get it serviced. I would get it fixed if it was a present from my wife. How much is peace and tranquility worth?

But $150 back on her credit card is not to be sneezed at. If I thought popping the back and cleaning out a speck of dirt would cure the problem, I'd pay for the repair. Looks like it's returning to Turkey. I don't want to take a chance on a second one having the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
