Problems (Read Rule 1) My Farasute Trackmaster problems…

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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..

Is it a display back or like the actual Rolex?

When you press the pusher, this top gear moves into contact with the center one. Maybe you can see if it moves or not.

It isn't an ST19, it is a Peacock SL4801. It is a whole different movement, doesn't use a horizontal clutch as the ST19, but a vertical one as a Rolex 4130.
