What time is it? Watches and horology

What happened to it?

Long time lurker here with too many watches . Been meaning to move a couple on . Anyone fancy a good deal on a barely used Junghans telemeter ? I am an omega fanboy and bought this as I always liked the omega 33.3 chrono.

Mega bargain, paging @Stonehedge

Had some movement issues straight out of the box. Felt gritty and hard to wind.

Lovely.

Beautiful watch and outstanding price but I am on a strict no watches rule at the moment. Just can't afford to spend anything on luxuries for the time being. Has not been a good year for business.

Somebody please snap this up and then sell it to me in a few months!

Let me know if anyone fancies any other photos . Had a few enquiries, but still here .

Richard Mille is the personal sponsor bringing Cav over to Quickstep. Tidy profits in ugly watches!

So, I got the watch (BB58) back from warranty repair Monday and I don’t think it’s right. Winding feels smooth at first, but then there’s a significant resistance not many winds in. The blue version I had, even when it was fully wound it would just make a little, gentle “click” (clutch mechanism I assume) when fully wound. However, it was still super smooth with no resistance. This one feels completely different. It’s also running at around +7s per day and COSC should be between -2/+4.
So, what would you do? Am I too picky? I’m thinking just enjoy it and see what happens but then again I have that thought at the back of my head, that somethings wrong and I can’t fully enjoy it. It’s just not ideal having bought the watch 2 months ago, and worn it it for maybe 1h total.
Sorry about the rant, but there it is...

If it’s wrong it’s wrong, take it back in.

It is really that simple, isn’t it? Thanks

It’s also running at around +7s per day and COSC should be between -2/+4.

Not sure where the -2/+4 is from but these are the figures for COSC chrono certification

The final test figure is taken as an average of 5 different positions (with a max variance of 5 or 7 seconds between positions) at three different temperatures IIRC.

It is really that simple, isn’t it? Thanks

It is. Customer is always right on this one. If it doesn't feel right its up to them to convince you otherwise.

I think this (-2/+6) is for the older in house movement, the new, smaller one for BB58 is supposed to be -2/+4. I’ve read it somewhere where they compared it to Rolex which is -2/+2 saying that every guaranteed second means a lot more investment.

Also, when I was picking it up the lady said “best to keep the receipts if there’s any problems with the accuracy of anything else”.
Jinxed it I reckon.

Refund it and buy an Omega !!

I was hoping for a replacement. Do you think a refund is possible?

Legally " only if repair or replacement:

is not possible
would be too expensive, given the nature of the product/defect
would be very inconvenient for the customer
cannot be completed by your business within a reasonable time"

However they might for goodwill purposes

Where did it come from ?

Purchased in London at David Duggan but now I’m dealing with it locally in the Chichester AD.

@leggy_blonde it still has stickers on. I’ve worn it maybe for 1h total (had it nearly 2 months).

It’s highly unlikely the local AD will replace or refund a watch bought elsewhere .
David Duggan is your only chance of that happening.
But if we had a watch back twice in two months I would exchange it if that’s what the client wanted.
