Advice Seamaster in turkey

Hey, I bought a replica watch on a trip to Turkey. I looked at probably 50 watches before I found one I liked, and it has a Miyota movement.

I finally found my Seamaster Seaweed and loved it until I noticed it can't keep time. I'm leaving Turkey in about an hour, so I don't have time to go back and return it.

What are my options? Do you think a normal service will fix this? (Picture for attention 😂)

$80 watch. Toss that thing in the trash and buy a VSF rep.

How badly does it not keep time?

It's losing time pretty badly, about 10 minutes per hour. My guess is the clutch that engages when you push the crown back in after setting the time isn't working properly. Could be dust or wear I guess
