superocean Asian 2842 problem

[hazey]

Hi everyone

recieved my new superocean 44. the first 48hrs have been fine but I wore the watch all day and night and when i woke up the watch still on wrist had stopped. moving it around it started again.

I wound the movement clockwise wore it and shortly after is stopped again. ive just set it 30min ago and its already behind 3 min

Whats the problem and anything I can do? I absolutly love the watch and very upset ive got thos problem

thanks

ok just stopped again. Flick of the wrist gets it moving again.

if it was mine id just get it serviced and when you get it back it should be perfect

my TD said to just keep winding and run it. I did this 1 hr ago and it hasnt stopped but 3 min behind.

As for the servicing. Ive always been uncertain of where to take it being a rep. Its a super rep as far as im concerned so would the only tell be the movement. is it obvious to the watch servicer?

and does the same apply if it was a swiss movement in the case of my omega upo swiss eta

The right thing to do would be to send it back. Have them fix it.

But if it were to be a keeper, for the expense of a service, I would put a verified eta movement in it instead.

Your local watchmaker most likely wont touch reps at all but if its a swiss movement he might because thats what he usually works on.

Found a watchmaker who said he can take a look. Regarding the eta movement would this be a 2824-2 I'm looking for and how much do they go for? should I buy new or used?

thanks

My watch guy took a look and said one of the wheels was bent/broken. He happened to have the right part. Cost of repair including service is $130 he also said its not asian it is eta. Thoughts?? Should I send back or just go ahead with repair. And have i been lucky to recieve a swiss movement or is this just a new breed of the clone

Many watch makers may not have come across an Asian 2824 so may not recognize it as such (some Asians are stamped a Swiss ) if the watch is a keeper then I say pay for the repair as then you know it will be in good order for a good while
