Hey watch guys,
I came across a Pagani Design watch on AliExpress while shopping for brush knots. For $60 I thought what the heck...
It’s a nice heavy and great looking watch. It’s a mechanical self-winding Seiko NH35A movement. I don’t have a lot of experience with self winding watches, but as I understand it, that Seiko movement is a reasonably good one??
Turns out it was running extremely Slow, then really fast, like 1 second per minute. I disputed the purchase at AliExpress and got my money back. I have taken it to the jeweler and had it demagnetized. The jeweler said it was working fine. It did for a little while, and it is back to running fast again. I tested it with a compass and it doesn’t appear to be magnetized again. (And I bought a Chinese demag tool and tried it.) Still fast.
How do I fix this “free” watch? I like the darned thing and I just can’t throw it in the trash.
Pete
