·Question for the group;
What would cause a hand to fall off of a sub-dial?
I just bought this Speedmaster last week from a highly regarded private dealer and this happened a day later.
When I emailed him to tell him about the hand falling off I made no attempt to hide how disgusted I was.
He claimed to be embarrassed and was more than apologetic. He offered to have his watchmaker fix it for free and threw in several incentives to make up for it, he then sent me $100 to overnight it back to him.
He has a watchmaker on staff so I sent it back to him immediately.
He just emailed me to tell me that his watchmaker said the hand falling off the dial was caused by depressing both pushers at the same time.
I would like to state that I have never depressed both pushers on any watch I own or have owned, I certainly wouldn't do it with a Speedmaster.
He's still going to repair it at no cost but I was absolutely shocked that he would say that.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you
