MADRED7 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 Dear members, I got a new APROO Navy from Angus this week. I had it on my wrist for the last 2 days. The watch runs fine and accurate .... the only problem: it stops every night at 3:50am. First thought was: Power-Reserve too low....but this make the watch stop exactly at the same time? No! So I wonder if this is a common error and if it can be fixed by a movement overhaul? Can the WIS chime in please.....like to know of The Zigmeister ever did one of these sec@12 movement-overhauls. Thanks for your help Theo
Logan Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 Its either the hour hand hitting something on the dial, or the hour wheel has some dirt of grit in one of the teeth. It'll be a fairly easy fix.. but one that does require at least a partial movement strip.
iceberg1459 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 you can ask dmuit (domenico) in germany if he can overhaul a sec@12, he serviced my ap EOD and im happy with the results
MADRED7 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks for your advice guys....I chatted with my dealer and we decided to give the watch 2 more nights and we like to see if this issue remains. If still stopping I will send it back to him for a movement change Theo
FxrAndy Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 could be something in the date mech that is stopping it, if it was hands touching or dirt on the hour wheel it would stop at 1550 in the afternoon as well. to check set the watch forward 12 hours so the date starts changing around 11 am and then see if the watch stops in the afternoon.
vaccum Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Movement service is the best option, you never know if the replacement movement will have the same or additional issues .
