Maybe I'm a bit late to the party, but to me it seems we must finish the work of the brand ourselves. I'm not a Tag hater, I'm wearing one as I'm writing this, but still. Having to tear apart a brand new watch costing thousands, to regulate the movement and properly align the bezel because the brand did neither ? Wow. I might add that your very watch @LazyTimegrapher is the Ti version priced for $4,450.00 as I'm writing this. Losing 10 seconds a day on a brand new four thousands dollars watch is something unfathomable in my book. I've also had my share of issues with Calibre 5 inside a Formula 1. The rotor was spinning hard while winding the crown. This is due to a jammed reverse wheel and only happens with a poorly lubricated movement. After a while, all lubricants inside a movement are gone, but this issue happened while the watch wasn't even four years old. On Calibre 5 or ETA2824/SW200 maintenance is required every 5 years but that's a ballpark and most can usually last much longer than that. I have a 10 years old tissot still running fine on a never overhauled 2836. So how this could happen on a 3.5 years old watch bought brand new from an A.D ? My theory is that the Calibre 5 inside my F1 watch sat at Tag Heuer in storage for years before being finally installed in my watch. While my timepiece wasn't even 4 y.o at the time of the issue, the movement inside was probably much more older than that, with completely depleted lubricants. http://[url=https://ibb.co/VYb4JRq][img]https://i.ibb.co/1GBW71m/IMG-1726.jpg[/img][/url] Today on the wrist : WAY101B.BA0746. Quartz ETA F06.111 inside, 94 months battery life. Gears-free but worry-free too, and losing 0 seconds per week. -
Unfortunate. Which is why I said in my post " so unless they changed the shock settings," and you didn't show a pic of the jewels. I cannot identify that shock spring. I had a look in BestFit, and my usual references, but can't see it. Anyone? -
Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I have a few vintage watch with fhf 96 st movement but I don't know where to source parts for it since it is rusted. If there was any parts from alternative movement that fits fhf 96 that would be great to know. -
The photo is looking almost straight down the pivot which is why it looks broken. I think the pivots are actually fine. These are disassembly pics, prior to cleaning. (I'll use cleaner Rodico after cleaning!)
