Great looking watch.
Interesting story and it is good that you have the knowledge to investigate and try to fix these things.
That being said - shouldn't the company fix this for you to your satisfaction and send you one that is working correctly?

I hope it keeps running for you! Thanks for sharing the issue and your "resolution".
I do, as you did, as well! Sometimes my investigations lead to a successful conclusion and sometimes, not! I rarely send anything in for repair, and so far, I've been lucky with my repair attempts, and only "ruined" one watch dial.
You have a very nice timepiece. Thanks for sharing your pics!

I would've sent it back and asked for another.
A new watch,no matter how much it costs ,should not have to be fixed by the buyer-even when the buyer is qualified.
It's the principle I guess.

Very interesting thread. I am too big of a WUS (NOT WIS) to crack open and try to fix one, so kudos to you. I have a 1000M SL Atlantis that won't wind (slips), and I sent back a 2824-2 VX-200 that died on the winder multiple times and had a VERY low power reserve, so the 2824-2 isn't IMMUNE to defects. Overall it's obviously a great movement, but any machine can have problems.
I guess I'll take my Atlantis to a local watchmaker because I got it used and the WR is little more than bragging rights for me...
Best of luck with the DWatch. It looks awesome with the mesh and those hands.
