Three months ago I had my eta 2836-2 serviced prematurely as it was unexpectedly stopping considering it is on my wrist for almost 20 hours daily. After almost a week from getting it back, it stopped again - twice in one day.
I took it back to watchmaker and after he checked it out and tested it on an automatic winder, called me to pick it up claiming it was running perfectly, Again, in the middle of 3 weeks, the same thing happened, which is what the problem was prior to service. This time it happened when I hung it up on a key ring holder to take a shower as I never shower with it. It gets plenty of wrist time!!
I took it back again and this time he thoroughly checked out if there could be a problem with the reverser wheels playing up which was not the case. The mainspring had been replaced at first service and he even looked at that. Yesterday after almost a month, the same thing happened. I just cannot for the life of me work out what is the problem. I am just sick of returning backwards and forwards to watchmaker who might think I am some kind of a nutcase as he cannot seem to see what I am on about. It wasn't cheap either as he is quite in demand with over 40 years experience. Why am I writing??? Has anyone ever had any similar experience, I would appreciate any feedback as I am really clutching my straws. With Endless THANKS!!!!
