BabySeiya 0 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Transaction and communication was smooth, received watch really quick, about 9 days after submitting order online. Watch looks fantastic imo, its my first rep and dont have much knowledge on Gens, but a friend of mine has one and it looks very similar in general. Only issue or question is, is it normal to loose about 3-4 seconds every hour even when wearing it? Its not too bad, but I dont know how this watches should operate, its supposed to be Asia Clone 3135, I paid 418 plus 35 shipping, its pretty sad a 500 usd watch cant even keep the time :/, but maybe im noob here, any comments tips are appreciated. ps tried uploading a photo from imgurl but doesnt let me..

GC 4,461 Posted January 3, 2019 Did you wind the watch initially? Give it 20-30 winds and check the accuracy over a 24 hour period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realism 72 Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) I'm sure you'd do fine with a $10 Timex if timekeeping was your purpose... But in a rep, let's be honest... Closeness to gen is the most important feature, not timekeeping Assuming the watch was fully winded, 3*24 = 72 seconds... On a gen, probably some servicing needed... On a rep, probably could use a servicing... However, based on my prev exp working on a rep... The choice is dependent on the owner of the said watch. Since I rarely spend > $350 on a watch (only has 1 around that price range)... I tend to write watches off instead of working to fix them... Esp if they last over 2-3 years... ($100-$150 watches)...servicing would cost half to another watch... Not worth the effort... Edited January 4, 2019 by Realism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,120 Posted January 4, 2019 If the watch is still losing time, ask a (rep friendly) watch smith to regulate it. I don't think a new watch requires a service, but if you can afford a service, then go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawg 24 Posted January 5, 2019 The movements usually need a bit of cleaning and TLC. Had mine sent to Rolie as soon as it arrived. He cleaned and regulatesd it and it now runs really well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waltswagon 0 Posted January 9, 2019 From my understanding the Sh3135 is infamous for losing time and requiring a servicing ASAP although I'm not sure if that has changed with the ARF production runs; as some of the guys have mentioned, consider a servicing?

Pekeano 0 Posted January 9, 2019 My opinion: it's more of a showpiece rather than a timepiece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pob 73 Posted January 9, 2019 It's totally normal watches we buy lose time. Some more then others and yours sound like it's nothing alarming. You have two choices here, send it to someone to regulate it or set it right every day. Some of mine are like that and it's not a problem at all for me and some are gens as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
