watch wont wind up...

Recommended Posts

ive had a super sea-dweller for about 2 weeks(1st replica) but woke up one morning and it wasnt ticking. when i try wind it up it just makes a clicking sound like when its fully wound up... i can still adjust the time and date and the when i shake it it starts going again but only for a few seconds, some times it goes backwards =/ i can hear something moving about inside when i shake it whats that?

does anyone know what might have gone wrong? can i take a replica into a repair shop? what can i do or is it screwed?

as you can probably tell i dont know much about watches but appreciate any help from you guys

Question 1

When you say, you are trying to wind it, is that by shaking it, or by winding it at the stem?

Once we know this, stage 2 of the diagnosis can commence ;)

OK, without knowing which movement this is, further diagnoses not possible.

But if you have no watch repair skills, it certainly sounds like a job for a competent repairer.

Maybe try ringing a couple in your town, and ask them if they have a problem working on reps?

If you can tell them the movement...it may or may not help!

Alternatively contact your supplier, and see if he will have it looked at, or recommend someone to do so.

i got it from joshua and this is the model http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=2102

MOVEMENT: Swiss ETA 2836-2 Automatic

his site says it has a 3 month warranty so hopefully he will cover it, is this sort of thing usually covered under warranty?

what sort of price do repair shops charge if he wont?

thanks a lot for your help
