For thos reading this:
I've had a long discussion with Rolf "FnuSnu99" since he received the Prometheus and I must say that I was surprised by the quality issues and never the less even more surprised by the responses from Carlos(Prometheus's owner) as I've been reading all his emails too...
About W.U.S: No surprise at all! But we'll come back to thatblah.gif
As I told you my friend, a tighter gasket O-ring on the stem who's manipulating the inner-bezel would certainly do the trick: My watch-maker proposed it to me last year about the same issue concerning my GV2 Mechanical Sub(Same trouble there...It's a bit loose and the inner-bezel has it's own life going on)
So when I read Carlos saying that it was normal for those bezels to twist loose and that otherwise, it would be too hard to turn...???
WTF? A compromise between a loose crown and a stocked crown don't exist?
Choose the right gasket Carlito...
About the loose pusher Rolf, if a tightening of the screw don't work, it might be the hole inside the pusher who's a bit too big for it's screw...Then it's another trouble and the pusher should be changed: No question should be asked!
The dust will go off with a proper cleaning and you'll get the occasion to have a look at the movement at the same time
Offcourse, since it's demounted, a good watch-maker could allways apply a better lume quality on the dial markers: Your choice.
My opinion is that the markers need more layers of lume or better lume quality.
It is not because the watch is made in Switzerland, that it will be absolutely problem free: There is unprofessional people everywhere!
Offcourse, who you choose to do the job is relevant and it seems like Prometheus been choosing the wrong company for mounting.
It's more the fact that Carlos don't control his watches before sending who is the trouble.
Benarus learned them lesson and now control them watches before selling(from what I understood)
It may take time and efforts but that's the way to avoid troubles when you run small productions.
Or maybe the watches are assembled in Portugal? Who knows...Jocking around...
Anyway: You had a "monday watch" most likely and some people should be sorry for that....A bit more sorry.
About WUS...Hahaha, let's lock and load!
NO SURPRISE! And that's why I don't roll my balls there and will not do it before the inner-politic change.
Yes, it's like a church of fanatics or maybe a sect who love åss-kissing but hate any remarks who would set them precious sponsors(the brands who pay to be there) in a bit of shadow...
And they punish you down to the abysses for that!
Is this forum hosted by a North-Korean server?
Criticism is the base of evolution gentlemen: If you never put anything in question, you never make it evolve.
To rethink is good!
Freedom of speach is the root of democracy: But forums who are runned by dictators will never see this light.
Thanks the wide internet, we don't need to be a part of them club to enjoy watch-talk.
My conclusion is that they very stand one more time for what we know them to be: Masked propagandists selling brands who are paying them back in $ for the favor.
It's all about business as the passion is definitely gone and all there is left again is Who.U.Suck
Now, I proudly made myself popular over there, again
