I've just bought a new G-Shock Rangeman (GW-9400-1B) and when I'm pressing the top right button, it feels like it clicks. Doesn't push down smoothly like the others. Is this an issue with the watch and will it affect the lifespan of the button? Or should I be returning this for a replacement...

I'm posting this for my brother, who bought an SBGA231 earlier this year. He's been using it as his daily and started to notice some kind of discoloration (or coloration) on different areas of the case - almost a rainbow of colors appearing on the metal. At first he thought the case might have...

Hi everyone, I am new to the watch world (and this forum), but having recently graduated college, I decided to splurge on a little graduation gift for myself and bough an Oceanus OCW-T2600B-1AJF online from Japan (I live in Canada). I love the watch and have been thinking of getting it for a...

I've recently emailed our Australian Tag Heuer after sales service centre about getting a complete overhaul done on a 2008 CJF2114 Link Calibre 16 chronograph. This watch has the polished tach bezel with display back revealing a decorated Cal.16 with cutout rotors. BTW the reason for overhaul is...

Hi everyone, Really sorry about the non-watch related topic, but I don't know where to turn to. Maybe someone here could help me. I have couple watches to sell but somehow I can't post them on the Sale Corner. I am a WUS member since 2010 and I have well over 500 posts. I just sold couple...

Hello, I am wondering if all mechanical chronographs are subject to possible chrono hour creep? Is this a flaw in there design? Do alternate designs prevent it ie like vertical coupling vs horizontal? Are there certain watches that do not experience it? Even the mighty zenith seems subject to...

I just got a used Citizen Nighthawk, the relatively old one with the GMT scale one the left side and the plane-shaped GMT hand (BJ7000-52E). It came without a manual, but I read a lot of forum post and watched videos about its operation. Sadly mine appears to have a major issue - the GMT hand...

Hello! Initially i was set writing a review for my Flieger, but all the good things about it are already out there, so this is mainly a personal rant :). Alright, so my main issue, for me personally, is the legibility. Take a quick look at some photos i have found online. Most of the...

Hello, all, I recently purchased myself a Sinn U1000S from a dealer on Chrono24 as a holiday present for myself. I received it yesterday, and I believe the chronograph is working improperly. When I activate the chronograph, the minute totalizer hand immediately jumps to 1, instead of remaining...

I purchased this strap at a local military show a few years ago. It appears to be handmade/machine stitched brown leather with a brass buckle that reads"@STA-WITH" or "@STA-WITE", hard to tell due to thecorrosion. Any thoughts if this is a military watch band and/or from the 1940s?

As the title says, I noticed after 5 days of having my Black Bay, that the bezel starts to get sticky and really hard to turn after I took it showering or swimming (I know some people are against taking your watch showering but I just never ever take mine off). Any idea what causes this issue...

Hey guys.. My stopwatch isn't working. I just changed the battery yesterday and when I tried the stopwatch it isn't working at all. I've tried all methods but the stopwatch still doesn't work at all.. Any way I can fix this? D: Here's my watch:

To start with, I am not sure if this is where this post belongs. If it doesn't, please let me know where it does belong and I'll move it. I purchased a Omega Seamaster from this forum a couple of years back. The ref # is 6288/1 with movement #44562119. I believe this is Calibre 1337. Here are...

I have a Carrera 6 RS and recently I noticed a strange sound if I move the watch. It sound like something in the watch is "loose". I took it to my AD and they checked the "heartbeat " of the watch in different positions. Everything was fine. However I can see that the rotary sometimes just stops...

I want to tell you guys about my journey with a Revue Thommen's Specialties watch. I first jumped the gun on a jomashop doorbuster sale. When I received the watch, I immediately asked for a return label because the watch was not new (I mean it was aesthetically but something was fixed inside)...

Hi Everyone! I've been getting a little more into watches recently, and went on a bit of a new purchasing spree. One of the watches arrived yesterday from CreationWatches, it is an Orient ER27007W (i think its a symphony). Firstly, i would like to saying that buying from CreationWatches has been...

Hello guys! I have a problem and i can't figure it out how to solve it. I have a Tough Solar awg 101. It stayed in stand-by a while. From the time it got out from the stby mood, the small digital watch shows the correct hour but the analog one is one hour before. I tried to set the small...

Hey guys, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a Nomos Tangente 38mm and after weeks of delays it's finally arrived. The watch itself is beautiful apart from one massive issue; there was a speck of dust under the glass! Now, I understand Nomos is a respectable brand and everything but to me...

Hey guys my Amphibia Ministry arrived and I'm ecstatic. Tore off the protective film and attempted to resize the crappy bracelet but then I noticed it .. The dial is off-centre!! The 12 isn't aligned - it's turned about 2mm clockwise. Weird thing is the date window looks like it's aligned...
