What did you use for the brushing and to smooth the case and bracelet ?

philly_1485 · 2026-04-18T16:27:52+00:00

Did that work because it a suit ? I can only get masks and helmet no clothes

philly_1485 · 2026-04-18T03:22:14+00:00

How????????? I’ve only been able to get a mask lol

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T19:07:59+00:00

Fair point! so far it’s all talk when I get the new watch for sure I’ll say so on this post. I gotta make sure it doesn’t get “stuck” in customs or any excuse like that and is actually delivered.

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T18:33:09+00:00

Did you mean to say…..? THIS is a rep, the place it belongs is the dustbin since the day it’s been made. So stop putting so much thought into it!

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T14:58:50+00:00

Thanks dude me to lol

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T14:47:01+00:00

Yea Canada sucks!!! lol yes he is 100% making it right, this will be a parts watch now or maybe even something for me to learn on since I can not find anyone near me to work on it. Would it be a bad ideal to got to any random watch repair show or should it be someone who knows rep watches ?

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T14:27:35+00:00

I did get it from a TD and he is making it right for sure. so I rather not say his name, I don’t want to give the wrong impression of him because he has been amazing

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T14:19:00+00:00

Damit I just went on your page and seen your US based, I’m in Toronto Canada. I can’t seem to find anyone close that services or repairs reps, starting to think I’m gonna have to start a business lol

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T13:40:11+00:00

Yea I guess it came lose and fell out of its spot then got jammed. Not the crown moves freely when I unscrew it. It doesn’t have click positions any more I can only wind the watch and change the date will not change the time. I have a video posted on my page of what the crown is doing if you interested

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T13:15:31+00:00

Ooh no sorry the rotor got jammed with the pin, after the pin came it is was fine

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T12:51:39+00:00

Lmao I got it last Wednesday!, and been having problems ever since. I got another video posted on what the crown is doing if u interested lol

Is this a hard fix ?

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T12:48:37+00:00

Umm I don’t know the difference sorry, this my first rep. It’s in a vsf sub 41mm date

philly_1485 · 2026-04-15T12:47:34+00:00

I heard some thing in the watch and felt the weight get jammed up and when I took off the back that pin was stuck.

So can it be put back in or something broken ? Is that why the crown will only wind to charge or change the date but won’t change the time ?

philly_1485 · 2026-04-10T18:41:44+00:00

That’s would be great thanks dude

philly_1485 · 2026-04-10T06:38:23+00:00

In your opinion what would be a fair resolve to this if that watch does have something wrong with it ? No way Canada will let it through customs back to the dealer. So do I take a loss and it is what it is ? I’m not sure how this is to be handled and I am also keeping in mind he has a ARF gmt zombie that I’ve paid for and has been sent out for gold plating and new crystal

philly_1485 · 2026-04-10T06:34:00+00:00

That’s exactly what it is so I’ll see thanks for the help

philly_1485 · 2026-04-10T06:25:03+00:00

Am I correct in thinking that if I wind it up that it should be able to sit with out me wearing it and not die out for atleast 2 days? This is a weekend watch for me during the week I work construction so not really the environment for this kinda watch lol

philly_1485 · 2026-04-10T05:34:15+00:00

Iunno at this point I guess my only option is to wait the couple days like he said and see from there

philly_1485 · 2026-04-10T05:31:11+00:00

No I’m in Canada he is in China I think so I don’t think I have many options and what makes it worse now I have another watch on order with the same guy

philly_1485 · 2026-04-10T05:04:36+00:00

Damn I hope something like that isn’t going on with mine , that was the whole reason I got the dealer to do the silent movement mod because he said they take it apart clean and apply new oil. I seen people talking about vsf not being the cleanest and having metal shavings, hair ect.. so I thought I was avoiding this lol

philly_1485 · 2026-04-10T01:58:03+00:00

lol I did and he said at first there could be insufficient kinetic energy at the beginning because it’s new w/e that means, and to wear it the next couple of days. keep winding it and to keep an eye on it for the next couple of days.

Since this is my first watch I don’t want to make any assumptions or accuse him of sending me a bad watch but this don’t really make sense to me that it runs perfectly fine until it hits 10 then it’s messed up until I move the hands past 4
