flavor flav Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 i recieved an asian unitas PAM that only runs when upside down....weird but not that unusual. i bought the watch planning to install the new genuine 6497 i have on my bench. now i have had this old asian 6497 out of the watch sitting in a movement holder upside down for a month and a half. gave it a full wind before i put it in there. the scary part....it's still running! i think it's haunted! last asian 6497 i had runs about 28 hours power reserve not 40 days!!! how in the world is this possible??? it runs like a quartz! but only upside down! just in time for holloween i guess.......

gioarmani Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Does the crown spin around & vomit pea-soup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 And the balance keeps swinging? How is the time keeping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 (Does the crown spin around & vomit pea-soup?) not yet! only thing i can think of is there is alot of friction somewhere causing it to run really slow. it's running at about 2 beats per second. just sitting in the movement holder. i'm sure it keeps great time. probably at this rate you can use the seconds hand as the minute hand.
