Swiss ETA 2836-2

[rolexsandwich]

Got me a watch from a dealer here on the board.

Have it for 2 weeks now, when I noticed it rarely showed the right time.

Everyday it was off by at least 3-4 hours.

Its a Swiss ETA 2836-2.

I also noticed it stopped quite often on my wrist, but would run very precise while in the box.

After looking closer to when it would stop I noticed the movement stopping whenever the crown is pointing to the floor.

Anyone heard of this kind of problem before? How can it be solved?

How can it be solved?

Speak to your dealer.

Speak to your dealer.

I already did.

And being the good guy that he is, and is known for, he offered repair.

but the day before I was going to send it back, I read the dealer has a serious legal problem.

Dont know if its still the case, but in my eyes to risky for me, the watch and the dealer.

The rep has to go see a professional I guess...

But I cant take a rep to a watchmaker here.

Is there a DIY on how to reanimate your watch?
