So, I fired up my PRX for the first time this year today... It has a very similar movement to the Hamilton and it took me perhaps 8-10 turns of the crown before it started ticking away. I think you have a problem.
I very much agree though the Chinese watch was recently selling for less than £100 (for a mechanical chronograph—hold that thought). If only more Chinese watchmakers put a little bit more originality into their designs—everything else is in place for them.
Not yet - I’ve seen some good reviews though.
The most accurate mechanical watch I own is a Chinese Addiesdive explorer type watch. +2 per day from a Seiko NH37 movement. Quality is otherwise not great - screwing the crown back in is nasty. I bought it for when my employer sends me places where it’s not wise to bring nice watches.
Not so much a new job as a sale of the business unit I work for a couple of years back. New owner invests and has a bonus scheme linked to business performance.
