paulvillo Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Seems like this movement is stuck in a long wind/ short wind routine, lasting 57/20 hours... Is this a common issue among reps? Any inputs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I would say that is a dirty main spring issue, can be easily fixed by replacing it with a Swiss new 6497/2 main spring and barrel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulvillo Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I would say that is a dirty main spring issue, can be easily fixed by replacing it with a Swiss new 6497/2 main spring and barrelSorry FxrAndy just saw your reply. Thanks but got it repaired. Don't know how to explain what he did but seems the stem was longer than necessary (it broke when the lugs came loose and the watch fell). I saw him replace it and "glue" a new one to the crown and voilà 65/70 smooth turns are back. Edit: I might switch to gen ETA movements, but first let's see how long it'll last.

FxrAndy Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I would assume that with a broken stem it would it would not wind at all but if he had to glue a new one in then maybe it was stripped threads in the crown and that was why it was slipping, at least it is working now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
