EMM Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 So I have a 21j/DG2813 motor in my 6204. If I leave it sitting on my desktop it runs like a champ. Really good PR, and keeps great time. But on my wrist it just stops from time to time. I'll wear the watch for a day and it will be 2-3 hours off due to the stopping. When it stops, usually it starts again after 30 seconds or so. But even if it doesn't, I can tap it with my hand on the crystal or side and it will start again. When I say "stop," I really mean it, too. No ticking or anything. Just like it wound down. Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 When you put it on your desk, have you tried laying it on its side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMM Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Doesn't seem to matter if it's on the side, back or face. Runs fine as long as I am not wearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I wonder if the movement is loose in its clamps so it gets bumped off to the side and the balance wheel gets stopped against the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMM Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 It sure seems tight, but that's a good thought. The case has no grooves for the tabs. Ok, new info. If I unscrew the crown to the first stop, it runs fine on my wrist for hours. Screw the crown in, and it stops within the first 30 minutes. But it runs fine on the desk with the crown screwed down.

SSTEEL Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Do you often get a shock when getting out of a car if you touch the metal of the door.? What is your job, work around a strong magnetised field? Just trying to eliminate the possibility of you being the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMM Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Nope. No shocks and no magnetic fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Sounds like an issue with the stem going in too far and maybe jamming things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMM Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 But why only when it's on my wrist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Is the tube loose in the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
