xlr8tn Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hello RWG, I purchased a 3717 about 6 months ago and started noticing what may be an issue. When my watch has been sitting awhile unused and I have to set it all again, I noticed that I feel the movement wobbling a lot when trying to screw in the crown. I also can not manually wind this one at all because it does the same thing. I have a watch winder and it will keep my watch charged for a few days and then it stops. I have a Steinhausen double, but none of my reps seem to stay charged. Any other recommendations? Thanks, Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 One thing I noticed today...when I started, stopped, and reset the chrono, and put the crown in the winding position, I was actually able to wind it. It is still a little bit hard to wind with a bit of resistance, but I do not feel the rotor turning like it did before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 There are two reasons for this, Both require a movement service (or at least partial service). The two possibilities are a sticky slipper clutch, or a incorrect length click spring. Both of these problems were posted on fairly recently. Do a few searches and hopefully you'll find the posts.
