Jit Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Dear members. I have a beginmariner from Josh at PC. I have had the watch since January this year and have had no problems with it to date. During the last week I have noticed that it stops running every no and then. I wind the watch every Sunday (about 25-30 winds) Does anybody know why this problem is happening or what I can do. I wear the watch everyday and even at night so the watch does get movement from my wrist on a daily/regular basis. On another note I am considering buying a V5 DSSD from ET and was wondering if anyone has encountered the problem I have with my beginmariner on the ET DSSD? Any help would be most appreciated. Many thanks and best wishes, Jit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 The Beginmariner is a great watch as long as the movement keeps working. It has the chinese DG2813 movement in there and it can last a few days or a few years. After 7-8 months, maybe a simple servicing/cleaning might get you going again, or you may have to do a movement swap. Either way, I would figure you need to find a watchmaker that will work on reps. Or buy another Beginmariner- maybe you'll have better luck the second time around. This is the big drawback to buying reps w/ chinese movements in them- the movements aren't that great.
