I ment to write warranty but it was understood either way.

Weird considering how people write on WUS about how good he is.

After informing Nadim about my issue with the stem the response I received was that this is not a fault but a "quirk" of the NH35A....it was suggested I put some lateral and horizontal pressure on the crown when pushing in the stem. So, push down and in. Also, it needs some "breaking in". There was also mention of this being discussed on WUS.

 

Anyone else with a Sea Turtle have anything even resembling this on their watch?

No the setting/winding of mine is rock solid.

Thanks Higs and Chavezitto...have asked Nadim to fix/replace as the reason given appears to me to be BS so will wait and see what happens. Sometimes these reputations on WUS are just members pandering to brand owners. Will see if this applies to Nadim.

 

Sweet new strap Higs!!!!

Just taken some pics of the Bronze Makara next to the Brass Armida A8 to show the quite clear differences. In terms of patina the Armida was given a LoS treatment by its previous owner (HWG of this parish) and has since been left alone by me. The Makara was given an egg patina by me which actually seems to have worn off everywhere but the 'recesses' of the case.

Thanks guys. After reading this thread over and over I just placed my order for a Hawksbill in maroon. Now as soon as Jon comes back from gettin hitched, I have to discuss him making a double pearl ray strap like Higs.
