Where to get my watch fixed?
Discussion
Hi guys, never ventured onto this forum before.
Earlier this year, I was gifted an Alpina Geneve 12 hours of Sebring 2010 thingie. I can't find too much information on it, as every article I find regarding this particular watch, with pictures it looks slightly different.
Here's a couple of snaps for the experts, if it helps.
My problem is, I seem to have partially cross-threaded the winder thingie. It twists out anti-clockwise as ecpected, half pulls out to adjust the day counter, then fully pulls out to adjust the time. Then when clicking it back in, I click it twice in, but it's very stubborn to engage on it's thread when turning clockwise, to wind it back into it's lock position.
Before I go taking it to a watch shop and getting my pants pulled down, I thought I would check here first, to see if it's a characteristic of these watches, or whether it's worth getting fixed and if possible - any idea where I could take it?
Thanks in advance.

Give Steve at Ryte Time Watch Repairs a call - he'll be able to give you an idea on whether its readily fixable or not.
I guess it will depend on whether it needs new case parts or not and how easy they are to get hold of. For what its worth Alpina use stock ETA movements, but this doesn't sound like the movement is of any concern.
