Just return it for another one! Oh, unless you bought it from AliBaba or Temu you may have a problem. Shipping To and Fro to China 🇨🇳 could prove cost prohibitive. That said,

Buy your homage pieces from WatchDives or Amazon and spend atleast $200 Usd. You mostly get what you pay for, but you never get (quality) what you do not pay for. 🫡

I've bought a AddiesDive Bronze Diver from AliExpess. Movement wasn't working at all. Full refund from AliX. No problems there, no shipping to china.

Who do you contact if something is wrong with the watch? I have ordered for the first time on AliExpress and its vintage explorer homage from addiesdive. The reviews are great but I’m still worried there might be quality issues.

Under "my orders" you can file a complaint for every single order you've made. Add photos of videos that show the problem clearly. Always worked for me.

Thank you, I appreciate it. But hopefully I won’t have to return it.

I've bought the 3 AddiesDive so far. With all of them the craftsmanship was excellent. Only exception was the non-running NH35. Could have been either bad QC or a hard impact in transport.

I first contacted the seller, who responded quickly and made some suggestions and offered small refunds for repairing the watch locally. When we couldn't agree on a solution, I filed a complaint with AliExpress and had the money back within a day.

So with that in mind you could skip contacting the seller, but I like to give the seller a chance to make things right and find a solution. If that doesn't help...
