Any opinion is highly appreciated.

Thank you Max!

Come on! It's a Swiss ETA. If you can't wind it why would they make it that way. I understand the A7750's problem since it's got crap winding gears..

In my opinion, (take it or leave it), you should wind it fully about 40 times when it's totally dead. Just go slow and steady. Then let the kinetic movement of your wrist keep it wound.

You wound it 5 times from dead stop and then went to the movies and sat there. Then took it off. Why would you expect it to keep running?

40 hours power reserve is from fully wound.

LOL, I don't know.. I thought that since my arm was moving and all.. but I guess Kjay had it right when he mentioned that the timepiece cannot wind itself if you sit perfectly still for 3 hrs in the movies. Now everything is starting to make sense to me

Can you guys verify the authenticity of my Swiss movement should I provide you with pictures of the inside of the watch?

Best,

Awesome! too much information to grasp here.

I'm gonna read your answers over and over again!

KBH, Kjay and MAXMAN! thanks a lot folks!

Just on the side, does this forum accept donations? Id love to return the favor with a contribution.

Best

[The first thing you shoud remember is to not hand wind your rep. It's best you swivel or gently rotate/shake the watch,listen for the spin of the rotor. I would try this method and see how the watch responds. If you are still having problems then there is a good chance that the movement may need to be serviced. ,good luck. Mike

Hello Max!

You mean I shouldn't wind the Crown of my Rep?

and What about the 40 Hr power reserve? what does it mean precisely and how is it counted?

Thanks for your help

Hey Folks, forgive my confusion but I'm new to all this. I bought a DSSD Swiss ETA 2836-2 from a trusted dealer on this forum. I wound up the crown for like 5 rotations, wore it then went out to the movies.

the watch worked seamlessly, but the hands stopped sweeping as soon as I took it off!

I know that being automatic, the watch has no battery, but isn't it supposed to be self-winding by the movement of your wrist? with 40hrs power reserve? Meaning it should still be ticking for 30-40 hours even after you take it off, or do I have the whole concept upside down?

Where did I go wrong?

Please advise.

classic!

Good job dude
