Chopard MM GTXXL always stops / dont hold time

Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

Today I'm wearing my quite new Chopard MM GTXXL - Asia 7750 Movement!

I set the time and made the wath running, but the watch holds the time just for a minute or two..

What can I do in this situation. The watch was lying normal in the watchbox and I havent worn the watch mcuh....

Damn...has anyone a idea?? :(

Wind it 100x the moment you get it - you can't over wind it and the movement needs a period to "break in" with full power - one wind is about 1/2 to 2/3 of a full turn - turn it steadily and in a clock wise direction

remember not to set the date between 7:00 and 2:00 as this can damage the movement

Thanks for your replay - I will try it.

The last times it was running after short "winding".

Unforuntely I havent got eh mechanic winding machine(or however it is called). How to I wind correctly manual?

The watch stopped at 12 p.m. when I wore the watch the last time... but normally I set the time before I set the date...

Mh sry guys for double posting, but i cant edit my last post ..

So now I tried to wind the watch up. But something seems to be broken inside. Something is lying freely in the case - perhaps the flywheel(?) - funny scratching noises from the bottom - I think(it is not the normal sound of a flywheel!)

Depending on how I hold the watch it is working for some seconds. But all the winding up hadnot help - last time the watch went 15 sec.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but it sounds like it's broken - might be a loose rotor or something more serious. Time to contact the dealer you bought it from, I'm afraid.

By the way, the graphic in your signature is excessively wide - how about making it a little smaller (like about half the width), so that we don't have to scroll every page horizontally?

Okay! I change my signature this evening.

As long I'm winding the watch works, but as soon as I stop, the watch goes just 15sec as I wrote. Chrono, Time and Dateset workes fine and date change ,too.

Yeah I have already contacted PT - I was about to order a new one, but frist my Choppi has to work :(
