    Steinhartwatches Nav-B repair?

    Hi guys, looking for some advice really!

    I have a Steinhart Nav-B 47mm chrono which I’ve owned since 2016 and purchased from my dad as it was too big for him. I love it but, sadly one of the hands has fallen off (see photo). It was returned to Steinhart in 2016 for a problem (which I can’t remember why - something to do with the movement) and took a long time and cost a fair bit in posting to Germany.

    Would someone on here be able to repair this for me or would you suggest sending it back to Steinhart directly?

    ThanksIMG_0470.JPG

    I imagine it is a Valjoux 7750. There are a number of watchmakers here including Paul and Brendon (Walterwelk and webwatchmaker if I remember their usernames properly). You could PM them.

    Minute recording hand off ? That's unusual on a 7750.
    Maybe the dial is loose and lifting up.

    So after speaking to my Dad over the weekend he reminded me the reason why I returned it to Steinhart in 2016 in the first place. It was returned because when I pulled the crown out to set the time (as I didn't use it every day) the whole face moved and rocked back and forth. I'm assuming they reseated the movement/dial face and returned it to me. So do you think this would be something that would be covered under the warranty or being 3 years later has there been too much time gone by?

    If the warranty was 3 years it's worth a try.

    Just postage costs and you may get it repaired for free and returned in a nice box !
