Personnaly: "SWISS MVT" on the dial, scares me away each time I see it...
This is because the mounting happen in some fuzzy country...
Also because each time the house a 2824-2, it's a golden one(Asian mounted) or a 2836-2(same thing). For the quartz, I would even not go there.
"SWISS MADE" or "SWISS"(on old models) is a must if I can't see the movement myself before buying.
I never saw this C.D before.

It was some hack that Almost destroyed the crown and stem and then left it hanging, sold it to a pawn shop, (PAWN SHOPS DONT GET MINT WATCHES?? WHo KNew!) dog smile.gif

So, all fixed, now. I AM going to stick to my guns, the movement is CHEAP. thats it. Retail Price on this Wing GMT is 375-575. I can do a swiss rhonda movement for that price if the fit and finish is ok, This is my second wing, I think the look is outstanding. its all solid, and all it needed was for the Crown and stem to be loved a little.
Already switched out the strap to a carbon fiber and received 2 compliments within 30 minutes. (not from my watch guy, he laughs at my obession, thinks the movement is junk. I agree a little) But this from a guy who wears a 1970s quartz seiko.
Here is a few pics of the watch in question. I think its got such a style all its own. IMO

All's well that ends well, Scott. Glad you found a fix. happy guy.gif

There are several AD outlets near the military bases in NC. They advertise them as military/flight timepieces. I have a Command Falcon and it is a sturdy watch for the $$$.

Would like it better in a white or blue dial but the design is fairly cool.
