Got a call from ECT and was told the watch has been running flawlessly since they got it... Of course I was baffled cuz it was NOT working for me.

Serg told me to give it a good winding, which I did, and still nada... Idk what happened, but it's back and running spot on as it was before the stoppage.

Any thoughts on this? I'm NOT losing my mind, it did stop, and wouldn't start back up.

Marciano490 · 23 September 2015, 06:04 AM

Isn't it always that way though? You go to the doctor because your shoulder clicks then suddenly it stops clicking? Hopefully, it's resolved though. It's a stunning watch and one of my favorites.

SpunkyQ8 · 23 September 2015, 07:53 AM

1st amg · 23 September 2015, 08:17 AM

I hope it's status quo for you Mike and it all works out.

Manofsteelpt · 23 September 2015, 08:30 AM

Yeah, I'm glad all is well and I have it back... Missed it for sure!

Abdullasaif, what do you think? Gonna pull the trigger? What did u think of it compared to the RG?

HL65 · 23 September 2015, 09:00 AM

Glad you got it back quickly and all resolved Mike!

texex91 · 23 September 2015, 09:05 AM

Glad all is well Mike with that beauty!

lapince · 23 September 2015, 09:13 AM

it is an awesome watch, if only it didn't weigh so much, glad it's ok hope it will keep being that way

conkers · 23 September 2015, 09:53 AM

Good news!

subtona · 23 September 2015, 10:13 AM

sent away a leica m6 camera for repair… it was killing the battery in 1 to two weeks, i went through 4 batteries and finally sent it in for service…i got it back 6 weeks later and the receipt said there was no problem, the next battery i placed in it (identical to the 4 before) lasted 2 years.

its a mystery, maybe they just don't like to admit the defect?

Manofsteelpt · 23 September 2015, 10:14 AM

Thanks guys!

It's only a few grams more than the RG you're interested in.

Hairdude1 · 23 September 2015, 11:40 AM

Awesome its back and running!

singe89 · 23 September 2015, 12:27 PM

Nice!!! Back on your wrist where it belongs!

masterserg · 23 September 2015, 12:55 PM

Pretty easy to lose one's mind with that watch brother

el1125 · 23 September 2015, 01:02 PM

So beautiful. Congrats

csi-n · 24 September 2015, 02:29 AM

Would it be possible that when you "thought" you were winding it, the crown was somewhat not in the proper position, or somehow the gears were not engaged, and as a result it was really not winding the entire time?

Anyway, that is a beauty of a watch. Enjoy!

Thanks Sam... I guess that's possible, and NOT to be a smart a$$, cuz I appreciate the thought, but I'd like to think I know how to wind a watch. Maybe the gears weren't engaging as mentioned. I did try to wind it a few times.

Besides that, I do wear the watch daily, and wouldn't think it'd stop anyways.

Marciano490 · 24 September 2015, 03:36 AM

Maybe you're not strong enough to wind properly? Stop focusing on the glam muscles and work those fingers.

tcheeco · 24 September 2015, 04:04 AM

Good to know and happy for you

Hey Mike, it's a tough case to crack, definitely a headscratcher

Maybe a paranormal activity?
