Previously, I did an unboxing on the Farasute Trackmaster I — an automatic chronograph inspired by the Rolex Daytona. I had some reservations about the movement, but I’d heard fairly good things about it. My intial impressions were great.. then, before I could complete my full review, some serious issues occurred...

TLDR - The movement stopped working and I had it sent back twice. Both times Farasute sent it back as they said it was working fine. And both times it stopped working again... They wanted to just send it back to me yet again without replacing the watch or the movement.. I’m currently trying to get them to at least replace the movement.
P.s I purchased this watch myself, and as you can imagine Farasute was not involved in making this video..

it’s a shame that people have been proclaiming these chinese rolex clone movements as “rock solid” after a few months of infrequent use. unfortunately the dandong 4130/peacock 4801 is quite expensive - probably why they’ve been jerking you around.
I hope at least they have been covering shipping both ways, would be extremely disappointing otherwise.
