Well jus returned from my transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary. A 50th birthday treat.
Along with this was a 1964 spaceview from our Bulgaria. Friend. All was fine for the first few days. Then I noticed it had lost 15 mins over the day. The. It kept stopping. It was still humming. A gentle tap would restart it. But it was not right.
I removed the battery, which looked swollen. I then noticed the minute hand was spinning freely with respect to the other hands.
So something. Is definitely wrong
Tried contacting Ludmil but no reply as of yet.
Very disappointed. My new cruise watch failed me.
I assume he will repair it for me, at no cost too. It should have lasted longer than 3 weeks. N

Sorry you have trouble with your Spaceview! It's always a disappointment when something like this happens. Yes, Ludmil does guarantee his work and will repair your watch. He will reply to your inquiry. Sounds like the hand wasn't seated properly. I have had this happen to both new and vintage watches. It shouldn't but it sometimes does.

Heard back from Ludmil.

Sending the spaceview back for repair. Disappointed but it should be ok.

These things can happen. Annoying, but I have always been happy with Ludmil. Absolutely no reason for complaint so far. Guess you were just unlucky. Let us know how it ends.

I purchased my Spaceview from him last year. I was not happy with the quality of the replacement crystal and sent it back. It returned with a perfect crystal. Since I returned it with another watch needing service, I didn't incur extra shipping expense related to the repair.
