 OK! Update, picked the watch back up from my watch guy today. 8 dollars, all included to fix, and it was NOT A chase problem. 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
