ofgortens Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have an ETA 2824-2 movement in my rolex milgauss GV rep and it works great, however, the watch has begun to not wind on it's own. I can manual wind the piece fine and it will work for the time period, but does not automatically wind. Thinking this could just be the rotor seized up? Can I just take off the caseback and apply some lubrication to be able to free up the rotor? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14060 or 16610? Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Doubt it has seized. More likely the auto winding mechanism is not engaging somehow. You will need to remove the caseback to take a closer look. Move the rotor manually and observe if the mainspring barrel turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofgortens Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 So I took the caseback off and was able to spin the rotor just fine but it is not winding the mainspring. How do I re-engage the rotor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Are the reversing wheels turning when the rotor moves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
