    Bummer !
    I suspect you're somewhat gutted ?.... damned sure I would be..... actually, more like livid.

    Like others have said: It's a pity because it is a neat looking piece; but no point in looking pretty if it doesn't perform its basic function.

    Both of my Nienabers have Schild manual movements; one (the Art Deco) is tight and you can think you’ve fully wound it when you really haven’t yet, but it’s not so tight as to be impossible to wind. The other one winds completely normally. So it definitely sounds like something is wrong.

    Send it back! Ask the AD for a replacement

    This watch has gained 10 minutes since yesterday morning. That is serious accuracy.

    inaccuracy !!! how disappointing for you -does it affect your intention to send it for repair or call it quits and get a refund -it would be the latter for me

    Might be magnetised?
    Still, this isn't explaining the winding issues.
    Hope you'll get a fully functional replacement so you can enjoy your new acquisition.

    $5k??? I have a vintage Rodania with the same movement that is about +20 sec/day. Cost $200.

    Received my replacement watch two days ago. The good news, I can wind this one. The bad news, it gains 45 minutes in 24 hours. Going back again for a full refund.

    Well, you certainly gave them every opportunity. That’s a shame. OTOH, now you have money to get something else.
