Update: it’s broken again.

I totally get it. I love mine, but I’ve also spent $400 on two separate servicing appointments since I bought it in May 2022. I’m done putting money into it from a servicing perspective, but it has sentimental value so I’ll never sell or truly regret the purchase. My next move is to buy an old, used skx so I can learn how to service my own watches for free.

Shout out to RI Watch Service Center in North Providence, RI for getting this thing fixed and back to me. I’ve already spent more on servicing than the cost of the watch when I bought it back in May, but buying mechanical watches these days is already kind of stupid lol

my next purchase will be a used skx, so I can learn to mod and swap movements for when this thing breaks again lol

Ya it’s a concern, given my desk job, but I wind it a ton to try to compensate and it’s still a problem.

Ya, the first one also Scammed my fiancé on a gift she bought for me then wouldn’t let us return it, so I had to make do with store credit. Just a jerk. The second watchmaker is probably just a snob That didn’t want to work on a Miyota.

Thank you. I do wind it Before wearing too. I noticed some black rubbing marks from the rotor on that plate in between the rotor and casback and that actually allowed me to be able to wear it for a full day again.
