Regarding Shnoop, that seems out of character for them.  I know when the 3 hand VX-200 deals hit last year, there were a few problems noted around the internet watch sites and they seemed to be able to handle those problems quite easily.

It is a hell of a watch for that price and if you want the watch, maybe pricing out a fix with a reputable local watchmaker is the route to go.


Thanks...yeah, still no response from shnoop, but I did finally find a telephone # for the Bulova/Accutron Service Center in Woodside, NY (none is on the warranty card), but I called a little late so I will try again on Monday.  I also took it to a local watchmaker that I have used for some time...he looked at it and said it looked like a simple hand reattachment, but couldn't tell for sure unless he opened it up...told me that since it was a new watch, he would hate to open it, find something deeper and perhaps even void the warranty.  He recommended I attempt to get Accutron to repair it, and, if I did not prevail, then bring it back.

At this point, I think shnoop sucks, if only because of their non-responsiveness.
