Re: My new C60 Sapphire is better than my Breitling, Rolex and Omegas
Your right, that coloured piece of plastic inside really elevates it above the top marque brands you mention. Your disagreement with the OP is clear, but for the sake of accuracy it's actually a layer of blue sapphire and not plastic. I’m 99% sure the color comes from a blue transparent polycarbona...

Re: Spinning rotor syndrome on my FLE: Cured?
In have a Victorinox with exactly this situation! I tend to wear it until it's running and then set the time. How much is a fix likely to be d'you think? (On the assumption it's straightforward and hasn't wrecked the rest of the movement). I can’t be sure, the only other time this happened to me it...

Re: Spinning rotor syndrome on my FLE: Cured?
@rkovars you can’t fully see it in the photo I took, but when I move the rotor I can see 2 interlocking wheels that spin when I turn the rotor. Aren’t those the reverser wheels?

^^^ Not unlikely :lol: I’ll update the thread if/when an issue presents itself. Unless everything runs fine for 5-10 years before needing service, and I forget about this thread!

Spinning rotor syndrome on my FLE: Cured?
When my FLE first arrived, everything was functioning perfectly. After about 2 weeks of wear, it suddenly came down with spinning rotor syndrome. I didn’t keep this one on a winder, and when I’d pick it up to start it and give it a few winds, the rotor was clearly spinning like a top, no matter how ...

Re: C63 sealander elite question
It’s after that where my concern lies- after say 8 turns, the crown becomes difficult to turn- to the point where I’m afraid it will break if I turn it more. Is it possible to overwind the watch? I’m used to watches where if you overwind a clutch slips. This does somewhat match with my experience, ...

Re: Falling out of love
but i was gently roasting Mike France about it during a chat on Saturday and he said that delivery is imminent. Apparently, the delivery schedule was knocked off course by a delay in the manufacture of a single part, which was repeatedly assured for delivery, then not supplied. Maybe if they have a...

What are the concerns about paying up front atm? EDIT: just catching up with another thread, is it about delays with the...
