Skywalker Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 So I have had this replica DSSD for a year. A week or two ago, the watch hands stopped; I wound the watch and had to shake it very vigorously (much more than usual) to get the hands to start ticking again. Today, this happened again. The second hand no longer ticks (and the minute/hour hands do not move). I have wound the watch but still the hands do not move; very forceful shaking does not accomplish anything... Anyone have an idea what my problem is? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Assuming the vigorous shaking has not damaged anything, your watch just requires a standard service (clean, oil & regulate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Good luck with it.... if there's no pieces rattling around inside it's probably exactly what freddy said. Get it the movement cleaned and oiled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I need to get the movement cleaned; it has not even been a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelizer Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I need to get the movement cleaned; it has not even been a year! Welcome to the rep world.. But the good thing is, once serviced it should normally be running strong for at least 5 years.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Do you know if the watch has an asian or swiss movement? If it's an asian 21j movement. I'd reccomend swapping out the movement for a factory clean and oiled 21j movement(dg2813 model). The dg2813 can be bought for $15 and comes from the factory serviced. If you have a swiss movement.. getting it serviced is probably the better way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I need to get the movement cleaned; it has not even been a year! Replica watch factories don't service any movements. You get what you get ... some dirty and some clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thanks for all the help...just wondering, what is a fair price for a good clean, oil, and regulate? I have gotten quotes from 49 dollars to 250... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
