morgan Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 This is the first rep I've purchased to stop working and I just bought it a few weeks ago! It's a 212 w/ Asian 7750 28.8 w/ AR. It arrived with the rotor hanging loose so i had a jeweler remove the case back and tighten the screw that had come off. I didn't wear it because when I tried to swap straps.. I found out the lug screws didn't have enough thread to tighten! Well... tried to get screws from the seller but they never came so purchased some from another dealer on EBAY and was able to finally wear this baby. Today was the second day I wore the 212 since I got it and noticed it was 6:30.. earlier than I thought it might be but ignored it. Hour later I looked and still 6:30? It stopped.. wound the thing well yesterday and it had a lot of movement today as i could feel the rotor spinning like a top. I wound it again just now and it's running but why would it stop? Surely an auto should keep chugging if you wear it daily and start w/ a full on wind?? Maybe the rotor isn't engaging the wind spring? wtf?

pete2528ca Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Im fairly new here, but wouldn't the dealer have some sort of repair policy. The dealer I bought my 253 from offers ninty days to fix or replace it and will even pay the shipping both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
