fdbandit Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hi all. I have the V1 version and it stopped the other day. Soooooooo........ Brilliant me decided to open it up and see if I could fix it. Needless to say the outcome was anything but positive. I now have a ceramic paperweight. I need to get the thing fixed and while its open get a better AR coating. Can someone let me know who in this forum could help? Thanks, Chic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chic Look up The Zigmeister and vaccum are the best around concerning servicing a watch. Catch Chieftang during one of his AR runs. He just accepts the crystal so you will need to have that removed first. I find repgeek.com and rwi.com have sub-fora for a couple members who service and work on watches. I'd check there.

plaifender Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 so what did you do to the watch when you opened it up?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Zigmeister won't touch a watch that has been opened up and messed with by anyone else I sent him a faulty titanium Seawolf rep a while back and he wouldn't repair it because it had floss under the bezel, I fortunately found the most excellent Domi in Germany who fixed it perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Carl Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 The usual problem with this is that the hairspring is tangled. Any competent watchsmith should be able to deal with that. Try that approach first. Carl P.S. The guy might be 80 years old or more; just be patient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
