Any mechanical reliability update from Portu Chrono Owners?

Looks like the failure or problem rate is about 30%+. Pretty awful for a movement that has about 6 months of real world testing.

I don't think this type of anecdotal reporting is at all accurate.

My suggestion is to talk to the dealers about how often they get customers emailing them about problem movements. They're the ones that see the volume, and probably have a pretty good quantitative idea.

I saw a portugese go for so low that I couldn't believe it the other day, because of the seconds at six thing. River's got one for sale that is a wicked deal- Ingy chrono, though. I'm not recommending the movement...but there are some deals to be had. Freeze the bloody seconds at 6 with the money you save.

Mine worked fine for about a month, then started and stopped intermittently...

then died completely.

Per Angus' instructions, I sent it back to China for repair. Haven't seen it since.

Most beautiful watch I've ever seen to. Such a shame.

Did you get a refund?

Got my watch back from Angus' repair facility.

It is working great now!
