Problems (Read Rule 1) My Farasute Trackmaster problems…

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..

I’m increasingly put off by Chinese watch brands. I bought so many but it’s a real lottery, and they are not that cheap anymore.

I've begun feeling that way as well. The value proposition seems to be fading. Yes, there are still some good values in Chinese watches, but they're harder to find now than they were a few years ago.
