bill brass Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hey everyone, I have a yachtmaster I got from bestswiss.com, they still have it up there now, but the bezel is completely wrong, it clicks too loud and is harsh to turn, does anyone have any advice for fixing it?

dieselpower Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I have just looked at bestswiss website and am sorry to say it looks like one of the many sites that sell below par watches for a high price. My advice would be to try and get your money back and use this forum to do lots of resaearch into the model you want to buy and only then take the plunge. Good luck.

mikellem Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 How about some pictures of your new watch. Bestswiss is owned by Paul, and he does carry basically the same watches as the collectors here... Post some pics... Good luck.. -MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Here is what I have done. On one of my watches I have removed the click and spring. The bezel now turns without the clicking sound and while this is not perfect it is preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Bestswiss is owned by Paul, and he does carry basically the same watches as the collectors here... WTF Are you sure the above statement is true? Paul owns BestSwiss? TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrischy Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 This is a Scamming-Site... 1200$ for a Yachtmaster You can get 10 good Yachties with ETA for this Money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 BestSwiss is not owned by the same Paul who runs "pam111"... it may be owned by A "paul" but not that one... at least I'm 99% sure. BestSwiss is part of the whole globalreplica scam conglomerate is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTR Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hey everyone, I have a yachtmaster I got from bestswiss.com, they still have it up there now, but the bezel is completely wrong, it clicks too loud and is harsh to turn, does anyone have any advice for fixing it? Sorry you paid way too much for your Rep there Bill... Fixing the harsh turn and loud click should be fairly simple, but the exact process depends on the bezel and spring construction. Typically, you should be able to take the bezel off by pushing the bezel @ 12 toward 6, then using a butterknife to pry up under the lip between 5 & 6. Fixing the spring depends on how it is made.. if it has a curved end, you can bend it more, if it doesn't you can bend it so it does, or you can re-curve the spring so it has less of a circumference so that it "binds" less, or you can shorten the spring by clipping it... Putting it all back together is simply installing the spring, setting the bezel @ 12, ensuring the spring is in the groove of the bezel and finally pressing the bezel down @ the bottom till it clicks on. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'd say it is a scam! I'd like to know where they cram the extra 6 jewels in the 2892-2! They are all 21 jewel movements. 38H power reserve? That's it? The 2892-2 is rated for 42h power reserve. Maybe the extra 6 jewels are robbing 4 hours of power reserve? hahaha.

POTR Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Now Stilty... Surely scammed as in charged $1000 for a $120 rep... but the rest? That's just ye olde LWL Marketing... that many seem to engage in, for it's perceived advantage. As to "where they cram the extra jewels", I have a collection of vintage movements that have MANY extra jewels shoved in them, in MANY imaginative ways... my collection was nearing completion, but a recent rare find went "up north" toward a good cause. It was a 41 Jewel version of an ETA 2451... which doesn't exist as far as many references are concerned... yet, it does. Maybe the lucky new owner will post some pics of it one day... They claim their movements come from "Orus" which is misspelled... Oris only produces one version of the ETA 2892-2 that is their Movement 665 for their "Big Date", which obviously isn't in this Yachtie Rep.... Oris 665, base module 14500/ETA 2892A2; dimensions - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 @POTR: Of course there are variations of the 2892-A2 as you mentioned (ETA2895-1 with running seconds at six which is probably what the Oris 665 is based on). Also the Omega 2500 coaxial escape with 27 jewels, but very unlikely they would use either in a simple date function REP. @ Bill : Please post pictures of your watch! Enquiring minds would like to see what you have under the hood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 The site says they have a Gen dial and DW inside. I agree it looks a scam, looking forward to see some pics.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
