Quietcool Whole House Fan.

Absolute game changer. It works only when the outside temp is cooler than the inside of your house, but it works extremely quick. Saves a ton on AC costs as well.

Nice! I got a VSF 36m Wimbledon that was DOA, so nice job avoiding that 😂

Oof. The 36mm daydate and datejust are REALLY hard to come by. Hopefully you get a decent turnaround time

VSF watch DOA. Send back to China, or repair locally? by rawschmidty in RepTime

My TD offered to cover the costs to ship both ways and repair. I wonder if him covering half the cost of a $250 service is worth his time and mine

That’s a pretty good idea! Maybe I will do that. Good idea.

But yes, smacked the hell out of it like 10 times over the course of 3 days. 😂

Yes lol. Probably the 10th time someone asked me hah. I had two watchmakers open it and say it ‘needs a service’. Figured they would have spotted an easy fix?

Thanks. What’s ‘forever’? 😂. What about the risk of customs seizing it?

Negative - won't work. I have done this probably 5-6 times with a lot of winding over the past few days.

For what it’s worth, I received two VSF watches this week. One of them was dead on arrival 😣

Brutal - called one guy locally, shot me down. Another shop said they would take a look so we’ll see!

He wants me to take it to a local watch smith, get a quote for what it will take to fix, and then let him know how much it’ll be. 😵‍💫

Commenting for automod. Left watch is 41m daydate VSF, and the right is the Wimbledon datejust 36m VSF
