so, one of a few watches i took in this week was a graham something (no clue of the model, but once you see it you will all know)

 

it had a few probems:

 

1: the watch had a ton of parts rattling around on the inside, and sounded like shit.

 

2: when chrono activated the watch would flip from wherever it was to FAR beyond that with just a bump.

 

simple fix.

 

REMOVE moement, place hands on proper, and fix rotor as shown below.

 

watch in question, not functioning......

removing the case back in simply screws, but look at the one my screwdriver it pointing to. hhhhmmmmm......... :/

from being worn, there was a little build up in the strap, which if you knew me, is UNACCEPTABLE......
