2836 with GMT: Troubleshooting help needed


hautehorloge

Recommended Posts

Hey folks!

I have a nice and smooth asian 2836 with GMT assembly running in my 116710 franken. Sadly since a few days the movement stops running when the watch is on my wrist with 12:00 pointing towards the floor. When i slightly tip against the glass, the watch runs again. I already checked the movement for loose parts but that's not the case.

I changed the reverse gears for genuine ones and also changed the rotor with a gen as i thought it might be the the power reserve as the watch was dying in the night constantly. To be clear: the issue was there before my work. ;)

I have lots of rep and gen spare movements laying around and want to fix it myself. Now i am looking for your very much appreciated creative input (which will surely be more educated than my ideas).

Thank you so much!

All the best

As i am at work, i just can look from the outside what may be wrong. I am recognizing that the watch keeps running when i align the rotor pointing towards 6:00 so that the balance is free. Someone ever had this issue? Maybe i fixed one problem (with the power reserve by changing the reverse wheels) and got another with the gen rotor blocking the balance.

Are you sure you cked all the screws. Is the cap jewel in place over the balance staff? Are you sure the screws in the train bridge are tight?. Is it fully wound? Is the movement mounted firmly in the case? Are the hands clearing each other?  Got to be something simple. Good luck
