Luv2Watch Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 if it was mine id just get it serviced and when you get it back it should be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazey Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramviksrille Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazey Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazey Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
