Hi, So me new Cartier Santos arrived, large model. The metal bracelet wont stay in place on one side. The quick release button stays in the pressed state, unless you wiggle it many times! The other side clicks in just fine as does the other strap. Leads one to question Cartier quality...

Hi - I have a Rolex Submariner that I left for 3 months or so without using - now the self winding mechanism doesn't seem to be working anymore. Is there a simple solution to resove this or is it back to Rolex for a repair ? Any help greatly appreciated. Regards James

I bought this watch from Amazon - may have been a poor choice in hindsight. It is my first Seiko and I was very excited to get it. Once I had replaced the strap i realised that the dial looks slightly off centre to the left inside the case. I'm pretty sure its not just parallax error, but I'm...

Hey All, Posting for the first time after being a long time lurker; everyone here seems really knowledgeable, and I was hoping I could get some help. I purchased a brand new IWC Pilot Mark XVI from a seemingly well reputed online dealer (Modern Jewels in PA) very recently. I've been lusting...

I have noticed a minor fault/depression on the dial of my Rolex black dial Submariner (the new Submariner "ceramic" version) ..... the centre of the dial has a 5-6mm diameter round depression/dip from the hole where the hands protrude through the dial. Its not easy to see with the naked eye, you...

I finally put a battery in a Longines Conquest Perpetual VHP that has been sitting in a drawer for a few years while I was wearing a different one. I pressed the crown to position 0 to start the watch, and it did its thing of showing me the month and year it had last recorded, but then the date...

Hi All, I've been lurking around this forum for a while since discovering the Bremont brand recently at ablogtoread.com I was looking at a pilots watch a little larger than the IWC Mark XVI and was initially drawn to the new Bremont Solo until the great looking MBII orange caught my attention...

Hi guys, once again I need to tap in to your vast collective note to either reassure me or give me the opportunity to buy a new 'G' (I only have one!) What follows has happened twice to my gw-056e-1ver, it is two years old and it has always displayed 'Hi' charge and it NEVER fails to sync in...

Hi guys, My GW-056e-1ver went completely bonkers yesterday. After being in some very strong light (the watch showing fully charged on display and synchronised L3 on time indicator) then going into a dark area I noticed that the watch had reset itself to Jan 2000 12:00am, the power and signal...

Hi all, It has been sometimes since I have posted on here ... time has been scarce lately! Just wondered, as I have a datejust from late 2007 (M serial), which keeps about +4 seconds a day, and have never had a trouble with timing, yet, when I listen to it tick, it makes a kind of echo...

I just bought a used titanium Seamaster Professional Chronometer from eBay...it looks great and keeps time accurately, but the hour hand for the chronograph feature won't stop! It keeps turning even when the chrono is not running. When I press the reset button it zeros out along with the...
