jraines87 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 With that many problems, have you thought of asking for a replacement? Na, I'm gonna send it off for service and if it's determined that something is major wrong, then I'll ask for a new one... My guess is that it sat around for a long time and the oils have dried up or something like that. Ziggy can work magic, so I'm confident that he can get it working just fine.

Yup that is exactly what was wrong with mine. If anyone can figure out a way to improve upon your watch , it will be The Zigmeister. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Which movement did you get in your one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy1 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Which movement did you get in your one? ETA 2892-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I have the 2892 from Joshua. I had it waterproof tested by my watchsmith and it passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jraines87 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Mine was ETA 2671 (Ladies watch) No need to even test mine for waterproofness cause I know there is no way in hell it would pass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 . I actually just checked and it is 700 an ounce, so perhaps that isn't too bad. 700 bucks per troy oz--only telve of those to the pound, not 16, and the watches are only 75% gold. So if the muller case and back weigh, say, 80 grams (and that's a lot for a 40mm watch) it has about $1400 worth of gold in it. The markups are arbitrary for other reasons as well. Check this out: the SS king cinquistador chrono is 4 grand or so more than the "regular" conquistador chrono even though the smaller one is powered by an FP 1185 which is worth several times what the 7750 inside the King is worth. Muller is charging King Conquistador buyers 4 grand for, what, an oz of extra stainless? BTW, in response to my thread begging for a Casablanca chrono rep, someone in the know pm'd me saying an asia 7750 King Conquistador chrono is in the works...so nobody go out and buy a gen, hear?

Watchmeister Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 No, but I have a couple of dials waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighDef Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Not much difference compared to our $300 rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
