The movement on one of my favorite watches is acting strange. It is a 45m UPO with the ETA 2824-2 movement. The crown stripped some time ago, which does not really bother me, but recently the movement stops when on my wrist or with the dail face up. I have to shake it and then it runs for +/- 5 seconds or more and stops again when I hold the watch dial up. Strangely enough, if I positions the watch dial down, on a surface or just holding it that way, it runs beutifully without stopping . I have removed the caseback and there does not appear to me that anything is amiss.
I thought I had it fixed a few times because it ran with the caseback off, face down obviously, but when I buttoned the watch up and reinstalled the case back...what do you think happens..YES it stops as soon as I hold it in a vertical position or dial up, like oon your wrist. :cc_confused:
Again it runs fine while face down.
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be or had this happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated...I miss not being able to wear my UPO
