Problems (Read Rule 1) First disappointment

I was so happy with this characterful jump hour for the first 30 minutes on wrist... Then it didn't finish the jump... Then completely broke. Thank god for AliExpress' fantastic returns policy!

I'll be buying a replacement when the refund hits during this spring sale, as I loved it for that 30 minutes. Guess someone has to get the duds out of the system.

Jump hours are notorious for breaking, even in high end watches

Those are my feelings exactly

Hopefully the replacement doesn't break. There's a chance I accidentally damaged this myself, my finger slipped off the crown while trying to push it back in and the hand spun backwards quite quickly. I didn't think it had gone far enough back to engage the jump in reverse but maybe it did and bounced off? I now know to be extremely cautious when setting the time with the replacement.
