My Tag Link with Swiss ETA 2836 Movement died on me today

[Ghetto2315]

I have had this rep for about 4 months now and it decided to die on me today. I was at work and my friend noticed that my watch was not moving. I told him that I did not wear it at all over the weekend and the power reserve was depleted.

Well, I am clueless on why it stopped working. It has the Swiss ETA movement so it should be more reliable than this... I have wound it for 20-30 times, shook it just a tad... Nothing.

Any thoughts guys??

Why don't you take the caseback off and see if something obvious happened. Once I had a retaining clip screw jar loose and jam up a movement. It was an easy thing to extract the screw with tweezers and replace it. Then all was well.

So you never know!

I am in the process of talking with my dealer about a replacement. It seems that they are going to either fix the problem and send it back or send me a brand new one. So for the time being, I would rather not take the caseback off... just in fear that I don't trust my own hands and that I may screw something up.
