CY0811 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 Does anyone know (based on previous data or experience) if these movements are easily fixed after a hard drop on tile? Everyting looks fine but obviously there was some internal damage.
ogladio Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 Bummer! So all jewels still in place? Mainspring looks ok? Guess it could be anything and hard to know without opening up. I'd let a watchmaker look at it, if it hasn't been serviced before now might be a good time.
CY0811 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Report Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks Ogladio.....who's the current trusted watchmaker on the site on the west coast....or does anyone know someone trustworthy in SoCal?
ogladio Posted February 18, 2016 Report Posted February 18, 2016 Anyone? Could sending back to Vac be an option?
CY0811 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Posted February 18, 2016 He said he can replace the movement but not fix it....that would be the last option
unreformed66 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 There's really no good way to diagnose a watch long distance. There are so many things that it could be from a broken balance staff or a broken pinion somewhere to a balance jewel retaining spring being popped. The good thing is that these movements are easy to work on and parts are not hard to find.
