rails Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hey all, opened up my TC sub to investigate the suspected "loose" rotor, and it appears there's nothing holding it in place. It looks like there should be at least a couple screws here... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 You are missing the screws of the auto-wind bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mymanmatt Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 There are 2 black hardened screws that go there. When you put them in, tighten both sides equally. Don't tighten one side and then the other. Snug one side, then snug the other, then tighten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themannier Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 How this is possible ? Never saw 2 missing screws there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rails Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Should note that I've had this for a couple years now and have never had any problems until recently. Can someone point me to where I can buy these screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mymanmatt Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I have them. Sometimes they remove the rotor assy when mounting the movement.Then they forget to put the screws back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 "Should note that I've had this for a couple years now and have never had any problems until recently." Without the screws the aw assembly usually will not stay in place for long. Look around inside the watch and see if they are somewhere in the guts...or maybe they dropped out when you opened the back. It's a mystery.
