Let me know, i will avoid them. The El primero has been around for a long time so although it isnt as simple as current Chronos, it is a pretty sound movement which shouldnt break down easily . This is the base movement which Rolex simplified to build its own 4030 used in the Daytona from late 80s onwards to 2000. The Rolex 4030 had less parts and no date withh lower BPH and is a very reliable movement. If you want something less of a hassle, pick a Chrono without a date and with lower BPH Edited February 23 by Throttle2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiyoh. No such thing as overwind becos it is an automatic with a slip spring. if spring broken and it stops running means the main spring. Easily replaced for under a $100 with swiss made comparable spring. if main spring breaks so easily after a replacement, i would 100% fault the watch tech. maybe becos yours is quite an old model using the older el primero. Still doesnt make sense at all to me 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle2 Supersonic February 23 Share February 23 My fave Seiko. Black Series Limited Edition SPB257. Tuned it to -1/+1 sec per day. More accurate than my Rolexes now. See how long the accuracy can be sustained. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The El Primero is the pride of the House of Zenith. Over the years, they have improved the El Primero and they have also create so many versions of it just like how Omega has sucked the life out of the Speedmaster with its 7,926 variations.😆😂 without the birth of the El Primero Movement in the late 60s, i think Zenith would have been dead long ago. Its not doing super fantastic today but at least the House of Zenith still stands. 😅😁 the current ones are actually pretty good looking, some with skeleton dials even. Get a new one lah. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
