prdubis Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hi guys One of my watch stops so I opened it. The balance wheel runs and doesn't stop ad long as I don't move the watch. If I keep it flat on the table, it will run for hours so I don't think it's a power reserve problem, but if I take it in my hand and flip it or move it, it will stop in a few seconds . Any idea about the trouble? Thanks all for your help. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/6307eeb853317/VID20220825170622.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hi all, This morning, the watch was still running, but when I picked up from the table, it stopped. I gave it a flick and it worked again. 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcreole Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Have you dropped or banged it on something? Sounds like a broken pivot. The wheels are aligned when flat but when you tip it the wheel with the broken pivot will be off centre and inhibit movement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Thank you for your answer. No, it hasn't been dropped. So I guess it will need a service? Anyone in Europe for a VR3135 service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcreole Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 You could get a new one for under $200 so weigh that up. Whoever you use for service could probably give you a breakdown and recommendation which is the best course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mymanmatt Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Be sure the screws are tight in the balance bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
