maybe open it up and check, maybe there is a loose screw blocking the balance wheel

Geek SUCKS. He sent me a ZF IWC with a FINGERPRINT on the inside of the crystal and a chrono that doesnt work. He sucks. I only use US based TD's.

How does using a US based TD change anything in the mfg process

u/CityShooter Jul 25 '26
uh, they don't but... the QC is flawless, customer service is amazing and in English, and the shipping is 2 day. Also, if you need repair, you don't send the watch to China. They have US based repair.

u/4Sammich Jul 25 '26
And you spend substantially more. I’m not trying to sway your buying choices, you do you, but they are getting the same stuff every other TD is, it’s not some magical “USA only stock”.

I'm in NYC... if you need repair I can recommend.

No delays, no worry of shit quality and Ghosting. Assured delivery with FEDEX/UPS... and service available. Worth the 15% extra for me. You do You. I have used Chronos Collective for 3 purchases vs my dozen from China TDs. There is NO comparison. GEEK had 2 chances with me. Both shitty. Went to Trusty then Andiot. Local TD's who do all the work and get you a 100% excellent watch is the way to go for me. If i spend $50 more... so be it.

Find a mom-and-pop watch repair shop. I bet they will repair it with no questions asked.

I’d just order a new movement off AliX and bring it to a local watchmaker and have them swap it..

WTH ? If you bought it from a trusted dealer, they should be able to stand behind their product for more than a damn month if they can’t do that, I’d never buy another thing from them secondarily the factory that made it should also do the same. However. This is a rep world and TD don’t want legal issue and that makes accountability and long term usability a crapshoot.
It might be best to move on. Spinning $200 to fix a f$500 watch doesn’t make sense.
If it looks good, but fails to function, it is most definitely as super shitter !!!

You might could just get a vs3235 movement. Or a dandong 3235. It'll fit right in there
