From a freebie to £100 depending on how much the watchmaker know/loves you.
Haha fair enough

Is the tapping noise gen like? 

It is 2 db lower and has a slightly higher pitch.

Took mine to the watchsmith and he said it doesn't need service. But the problem is that the seconds hand has a fingerprint, not sure how to clean that, any recommendqtion?

If you zoom in to the seconds hand, you'll see it. It annoys me sometimes61d401ee6b3b261e3ce65e5105654bc6.jpg

Lol, that's the most annoying video ever! I'm going to send it to all my friends and tell them something really cool happens at the end.

Haha but only if you play it three times and hit ctrl+enter at the end!

Sorry, but you're lucky it doesn't have a piece of lettuce as some movements have been found to have :D

To fix it you'd have to remove the stem and movement and use those special gloves to clean it and not leave even more fingerprints.... Unless what annoys you is that they're not _your_ fingerprints :D.

Yeah you have to do what he said.

remove stem, them the whole movement. Wear gloves the whole time. Then take some rodico, make in point shaped and start extremely lightly tapping on the dirty part.

If tapping doesn't work, try rubbing it gently.

I strongly advice you to let someone experienced do this.

probably your watch smith told you it doesn't need a service because it runs good, but have you asked him just to clean the second hand?

that sucks....I had a fat fingerprint on my V7 DSSD Blue Dial, wasn't noticeable on QC pics but in the Sun heavy. Maybe they had Burger for Lunch^^lol.  I would also try to wipe it away. Or a Watchmaker, should be a quick fix :)

If you like I'll take it off your hands for a decent price...

The rattling noise could be solved with a little bit of superglue on the inner side (where no one sees it. Wait a few minutes until the superglue is dry. The aim is to use it as cushion, eliminating the noise. Not to glue things together!

As you already got the caseback open, try to remove the movement, then remove the seconds hand with a hand remover (=fork) and polish it. Should be an easy task.

At the beginning it was really annoying, but now i kinda got used to it. I just try not to press it or make quick movements with my wrist.

Looks Amazing. I just bought this same watch via m2m on repgeek. It has the prof crystal upgrade. Can't wait to receive it. Looking to get the grape for the wife as well.
