Hi Folks,

i have a problem with my MBK Rolex Submariner.

The watch runs 2-3 hours and then stop the watch??!!

Have anyone a idea about the problem?

Thanks for any infos.

Either the mainspring is not fully-charged (try manually winding it (slowly) for 40 turns, set it down on a table, face-up, & check it in 36 hours) or it needs cleaning/service. Remember, rep watches generally contain used &/or unserviced movements, so they often require service the day you receive them. After that, most mechanical watches should be cleaned/serviced every 5-7 years.

Thank you for the fast reply :-)

Have you a pic from a eta! I dont know what the mainspring is.

You mean the disc (looks like an half moon) sorry

The watch runs ath the moment perfect. i wait for the next stop :-(

The mainspring "barrel" is the silverish sliver in the upper right edge. The mainspring is inside this assembly.

A watch must be serviced every 5 to 7 years ... how old is your watch? If it is running OK but very short life ... it needs clean and oil !!

The watch is 2 1/2 month old.

thanks for the pic.

I look once this night as long as it runs

thats MBK for ya.

dirty movements NO quality control,

ive had a few of their movements stick as well, disassemble, a slight cleanup and a regulation fixed it right up, not entirely sure what was sticking though.

i have found: 2834 movements, un oiled seagul movements, and a few clone movements in their cases. if its a 5513 with the date mech removed i found those to be problematic without a proper after purchase QCing.

it could be several things though.

bad gear train meshing, barrel slipping, grimmy pallet forks.

just get it serviced, or buy a replacement 2846, or NEW 2836 selitta movement. cheaper and more reliable.

if its a vintage sub you ll want the slow beat movement anyways.

The Problem was

the second hand was bent down slightly and depended on, and theminute hand. yes it is sometimes the little things that bring one to the palm.
