jon k 0 Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) So, I recently bought a pro-hunter sub with nato strap from Lay. I placed the order before he was removed from trusted status. Low and behold, the watch does not wind automatically, and needs to be done on a hand wind basis. Do any other reputable dealers sell a pro-hunter with a nato strap? If not, could I buy the PVD/SS one and buy a strap for it? I highly doubt a watch repair shop could fix the automatic 21J movement. It's a weird phenomenon: Essentially, the second hand continually ticks when I am wearing it, but if it is not manually wound, the minute hands are frozen. Ugh, more money down the drain.

dingle 57 Posted October 6, 2011 something else is wrong here..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon k 0 Posted October 6, 2011 something else is wrong here..... I wound it a little while ago, and it is keeping good time. This morning when I put on the watch for work and I didn't wind it, I noticed that the time was stuck at 6:45AM but the second hand was still moving. I am guessing that my diagnosis could be wrong, and the watch might just be screwed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted October 6, 2011 a 21j sub is very cheap to buy outright and probably cheaper than buying a new 21j movement and then having to pay someone to install it I know wat Id be doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke 0 Posted October 6, 2011 I think Silix carries your Pro Hunter Sub on NATO strap combo....Go to their site and check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon k 0 Posted October 17, 2011 Silix does not have a nato strap version, but Lawrence does. His does not have Sapphire crystal, though. After wearing the PH sub for a week or so, I find that it essentially loses 2 minutes per day if I am not wearing it. Even if it is in a winder, it loses 2 minutes. Has anyone experienced something like this? I wonder if it would be fixable without a complete overhaul of the 21J. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seclark007 11 Posted October 17, 2011 I purchased a Pro-hunter from Lay and had no difficulties. As Ding has suggested, there's something else going on here with the watch. I continue to share about how accurate that watch is for me, so yeah, I'm thinking you got a lemon there. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might try to get the watch looked at by a repair shop as well. The watch is amazing otherwise. Sigh.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon k 0 Posted November 4, 2011 Since my last post, the wind-mechanism no longer changes the date along with losing 2 minutes per day. II brought the watch to a repair guy and he says that it is beating @21,600, and he cannot fix the date issue. He says he is going to quote me for a new movement. How much do those usually go for? I have heard $50 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
