That is disappointing, but one reason buying from an AD with a warranty is a good idea. I don't know how many Speedmasters are produced each year, but let's say for argument it's 10,000. It's nearly impossible to get 100% reliability for any product, regardless if it's mass-produced or hand-made. Say 1% of them having problems is acceptable (and it's probably higher than this). That's still 100 watches. Unfortunately, one of them was the one you purchased.
