freddy333 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 The mainspring "barrel" is the silverish sliver in the upper right edge. The mainspring is inside this assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 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 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xprada Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 The watch is 2 1/2 month old. thanks for the pic. I look once this night as long as it runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 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.
