Omega Seamaster Wont Run

[xzhync]

Hi All,

 

I am new to this forum, but not new to replica watches.  I have several nice watches including a Breitling Superocean and an Omega Seamaster Chrono.  It is the Omega that I need help with.  I actually purchased it approximately 6 years ago.  I believe it has the Valjoux 7750 movement (at least that is how it was advertised).  Almost immediately it stopped working.  I sent it back to Andrew (trustytime) who said he repaired it.  Almost immediately again it stopped working.  At that time I gave up, but last week I happened to find it and tried to shake and wind it...it started working.  I worked with it for 5 or 10 minutes (as it kept starting/stopping), but finally got it to run.  It ran for 3 days non-stop.  On Saturday morning I noticed it had stopped during the night, so I wound it and it ran again.  Last night, before bed-time, I gave it some hand-winds to get it through the night.  After a few minutes I noticed it had stopped again.  This time, I was not able to get it to run.  This morning I tried again, but no luck.  The seconds hand (by 9:00) will not budge.

 

I would certainly appreciate thoughts on what could be causing this problem.  More importantly, what I would most appreciate is some recommendations on people associated with this forum who will work on replica watches (especially the 7750 movement in the Omega).  I would like to send it to an expert to try and diagnose and fix the watch.

 

Thank you for reading my post.  I look forward to advice.

Hi xzhync, from distance it's just not possible to tell you what could be the case.

It may be just that the movement needs a cleanup (so a service) or it may be that it is a very low quality one with unfinished parts, requiring a complete new movement.

Consider that a new movement is around 120$ shipped (minimum) and a service of your one is around 180$ (minimum), so you should carefully evaluate what to do.

 

I may suggest that, if the watch is a really good one that could interest people on the forum, you can try to sell it M2M providing to well explain the defect and accordingly lower down the price. Some horologist can be interested into its purchase.
