I guess it's been a little while since I last visited. It took me a little while to figure out that the WTF moved. I couldn't figure out how to post a new topic and then got wise and read the one about the site moving. Dohhh!
Anyhow, I need a little advice. I can no longer manually wind my 3825 LE TT Pro Diver. :crying: It has the SW200 movement. It got real scratchy and now it is completely locked up. It seems the self-wind mechanism still works. So what should I do?
Should I buy a cheap watch-winder for now and eventually send the watch in for both maintenance and to be fixed? If so how much would a cheap winder cost. Anyone have a suggestion where to buy one.
Should I send it to Invicta to get fixed? How much is that going to cost me and how long will I have to wait?
Related to the above, the timepiece was purchased 2nd hand. I’m assuming there is no warrantee on the piece. Is that correct?
Should I find a local jeweler to see if they can fix it? Would that be any cheaper or more expensive than sending it to Invicta?
Is there a dealer associated with this forum that can do this type of work at a reasonable price and in a timely fashion?...something that Invicta is not known for.
Is there anything I can do to fix the problem myself. I’m assuming that this is way over my head. The most I’ve ever done was calibrate my SW200. The piece is just too precious to me to screw up. (On a completely unrelated note, I remember some newbie that came by the old board and asked for a recommendation for a beater pro diver, suggesting that he was consider the 3825 LE TT Pro Diver. As the saying goes, one mans garbage is another man’s treasure.) :001_rolleyes:
So any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
