Tom Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Last night I received a black 45mm PO with ETA mechanism from a forum member in the USA. It arrived in perfect condition and I couldn't wait to wear it. However disaster struck and within 10 minutes I tripped down the stairs with it in my hand and it hit the ground. There is not a scratch on the watch but the mechanism has stopped and nothing seems to be able to make it tick. The very same night I have destroyed my orange PO chrono. I won't go into details, needless to say I wanted to get some dirt off the dial and....oh dear. It's all over. So I am devastated. I think the chrono is for the great Rep grave yard in the sky (I hadn't even worn it), but I just need a new mechanism for my 45mm PO. Does anyone have any ideas where I can start looking? Any help would be appreciated - I want my PO back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Bad luck. Happens to all of us sometime. The real killer is that all the good feelings about getting a great watch for such a good price turns into a nightmare of replacement headachs and of course all the extra costs. Now it is not such a great deal. You can probably sell the black one on the forum - someone will know how to fix it and the orange one you will need to go into the gory details so someone else can weigh whether they can fix it or use if for parts. Might get the price of one new one out of the deals. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
