Re: Speedmaster Broad Arrow - Dials not working!

Hi,
I own a real Broad Arrow.
and hate to admit it, but I also own a fake Rolex daytona and another fake chronograph watch that my friends bought me long time ago in Italy. I never wear them (one got all taken apart for fun) but I can't throw them away either...

anyway, I am not sure if I understand you right about the pusher function, but it sounds like what my fake chronographs are doing.
in a fake chronograph, usually a big second hand for the chronograph function keeps regular seconds and keep moving and the small "real" second hand in subdial is not moving (with Broad Arrow, it should be the one at 9 o'clock) and the pushers make the hands on the subdials advance everytime you push them.

If yours are as discribed above, there is a good chance that you have purchased a fake watch... like others said, if you could show us some pictures of the watch, maybe we can help you little better.

Good luck with your situation
