Review on Gotham Silver Tone Mechanical Railroad Watch - A Timeless Classic by Chuck Chen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Feeling betrayed is best in men

Waste of time like crazy. I have been carefully winding and resetting the time daily before bed for 2 weeks since delivery and last night it stopped around 3am. (about 4 hours after I wound it up) Well I thought maybe I didn't wind it up enough? So I took it and started rewinding it and I barely got to 8 turns (half turns) and it hit max turn. Another problem concerned rewinding. You don't want that with this mechanical watch. I was very careful with that. On the leash they recommend you aim for 30 turns or when you can feel the tension on the main pull spring. My watch reaches its maximum tension in 25 turns (half turns), sometimes with almost no warning. I went online to find out what the problem could be and found that there are 3-4 possible reasons for it. And of course they recommend you take your watch to a qualified watchmaker. Not that I'm thinking of fixing it myself! I'm just wondering why I even have to deal with this? Well, that's a shame for me, because I threw the papers away too soon. $129 Where's the quality control?

Pros
  • Clothes, shoes and jewelry
Cons
