So no fakey convention this week, Phil?

[Phil №❶]

It may be beyond repair, but I'll have a look tomorrow. Looks like the spring wire for the rotating bezel. 

[Doggie 1]

OK.
The clock starts........NOW.

[The Gonz]

It took a licking ... will it keep on ticking?

It's back on, fixed it.

21:44:09 - 21:19:50 = 24:19

[Shambles]

21:44:09 - 21:19:50 = 25:41

  Epic Fail 

[Ugly Mongrel]

Unlike Phil's watch,  this thread just keeps ticking along.

[Shambles]

Looks like Phil's been sprung..

21:44:09 - 21:19:50 = 24:19

Hey, I went 


 

[The Gonz]

Last time I do math after a day at the Show without a weekend off!

[Shambles]

21:44:09 - 21:19:50 = 24:59

It's no better

Remember the old pounds, shillings and pence.

Yours looks great, but then it IS quite new. Let's see if yours lasts more than 2 weeks. 

Thought I'd update you that my watch is still working well a month later, is yours still running after that repair you performed?

[Phil №❶]

Yes it is, but I only wear it when I want to impress a wom person. 

[CraigB]

You must have a done a good job with it then

I wear mine on an almost daily basis which helps to keep running as it's an automatic and wearing this one keeps the legitimate nice watches safely stored away in their boxes and only worn on special days

[Phil №❶]

Mine is automatic, too.

[CraigB]

That's the only problem with automatics is the re-setting of the dials when you want to wear them again, still rather that than replacing batteries though

I looked up the cost of a motion active auto winder as I have a few auto's now but the winder cost more than all the watches put together

Doesn't work that way. It's effectively a debit card, the payment comes from a balance held by Visa until I decide to spend it. I only have this card, to allow payments to non PayPal vendors.

Then claim a charge back.

You're weeks late and a dollar short  Phil fixed his watch

[Phil №❶]

Actually, not exactly. The display, which was my original complaint can not be fixed. The rotating bezel problem, I managed to fix.

[CraigB]

Sorry Phil I didn't recall you mentioning the display had an issue as well

[Phil №❶]

It has a 2nd hour hand which should use the bezel hours to maintain a 2nd time zone, except it's fixed to the existing hour hand and can not be moved. It's unfit for the purpose and I complained to my credit card provider, never got a response from them. ( Heritage Bank) 

Kiss that money goodbye.

Hickory Dickory Dock, 3 mice ran up the clock, the clock struck 1 & the other 2 got away with minor head injuries

Oldie but a goodie.
But if the other two got head injuries, doesn't that mean it struck all three?

[CraigB]

Just received an email from iParadisiac that my next watch is on it's way, loved the first one so much that my girlfriend decided to buy me another one for Xmas

[Phil №❶]

That's right, rub it in.   

[CraigB]

That's right, rub it in.   

You crack me up Phil

Sorry didn't mean to rub it in
