tghodin Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 So, i just recieved my Rolex 1680 Single Red Asian from Joshua, with a DG4813, and the watch is beutiful. The movement however, seems to be either malfunctional or just bad. Whilst being brand new, it will run for max 5 minutes before it stops, only to spontainously start running later again. Winded it properly, and cared alot for the crown adjusting it. Is there something i can do? As of now i havent removed the caseback etc, but ive done it plenty of times on other watches to relume, vintage dial/hands etc. Many thanks!

Ronin Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Are the hands hitting each other? Seconds hand making contact with minute hand? Other thing could be an eyelash or lint, or other dirt or gunk in the movement / balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tghodin Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Are the hands hitting each other? Seconds hand making contact with minute hand? Other thing could be an eyelash or lint, or other dirt or gunk in the movement / balance. Not hitting each other. Seems like it just wanna run for some seconds then stop. Can i do something about it, or am i stuck with a bad sample and lost money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Contact the dealer. If you just got it, he should swap it out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
