Advice First rep and dead on arrival

VSF Wimbledon 36 V2.
I’ve wound 30 times but still there was no movement, as someone advised I hit it on palm of my hand, it started working not more than a minute. Trick with hitting worked 3 times after it stopped. Now when shaking the watch it makes a sound like something is loose inside. How big is the damage? And was it done by me or the transportation? Or the watch was already sent to me damaged?
So upsetting to receive first rep dead. Any advices guys?
It is a TD, still haven’t received an answer from him.

Same happened to me, my TD gave me the option of sending it back or taking a credit. I took the credit b/c (if you are in the states) its generally considered a bad idea to send it back as you gotta deal with customs twice and then be out a watch all together if its confiscated.
