Although the automatic movement loses about 3 minutes by the end of its approximate 37 hour power reserve period and the date wheel rolls over as it should the crown/stem is temperamental. While the crown/stem connection is solid it’s difficult to pull the crown out to set the time. And when the crown is pushed…

FOR PARTS/REPAIR – Although. The movement tends to run for several seconds to several minutes at a time after the crown is wound and then spinning the watch face down on a flat surface, the movement does not run consistently for any extended period of time. The longest I’ve observed the movement running consistently was…

Although the movement runs strong and keeps accurate time over an approximate 41 hour power reserve period the HEV screwdown crown doesn’t screw down as it should.
