st66 0 Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, Jus received my order from Getat a mini fiddy and a mm44 GMT yesterday. Really loving it. But went home last nite, unwrap the protective plastic from the watch and found that the GMT second hand doesn't move. Check out Getat's web page and follow his advice on first time receiving watch. Follow thru all instruction but still the second hand doesn't move. I'm able to adjust the hour hand and date. The rotor also spins when I shake it. The second hand just refused to budge. Tried emailing Tat last nite, but he have not reply me yet. Appreciate any help or advice. Edited May 6, 2010 by st66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted May 6, 2010 Sorry to hear that! It's incredibly rare that Tat supplies a faulty watch as he does QC on each one, but sometimes they get treated roughly in transit and something gets damaged. Don't worry - he'll sort it out for you. Tat's one of the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
st66 0 Posted May 6, 2010 I believed too that Tat will have it sorted out. But It's my first order...and waited around 2 weeks for it to arrive....and AGRRR Just my luck I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted May 6, 2010 It happens to all of us sometimes, don't worry! The benefits of shopping from a trusted dealer on here is that you should be able to get it sorted out, not always the case with other dealers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted May 6, 2010 sorry to hear this. My first rep was the same way ( different dealer) and it is frustrating. Tat will take care of you. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted May 6, 2010 Actually, it's better to just have at least a dozen back up watches so you don't miss it so much when you send it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you're saying that Getat sells replicas, Greg? Hmm, I thought they were considered gens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
