chessmonster Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 My precious tempest hublot my favorite watch is not working right. When i first got it it worked fine. Now its having a hard time staying ticking. It seems like it is not winding automatically like it should. I am thinking it needs to have back case taken off and oiled but i am not sure. Also i am not sure how to manually wind it..and i heard manually winding is a bad idea. I can see the movement since it has glass back. The thing is when I shake it the winder doesnt seem to wist around as smoothly and eaisly as ive seen it do on other watches. And i can twist it and twist it with vigorous shaking..and then the watch will start to tick fine..but atfter a few hours it usually stops. Can anyone offer any advice to me...thanks...

paneristi_man Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Best to send it back to the dealer unless it's been a while since you got it. I had very similar problems as yours and ended up sending it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooky Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Find a rep friendly watch smith for repair and/or have it completely serviced or send it back to the dealer for repair. Does not sound like an easy fix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hard to tell from what you have described. The only way is to have the watch opened and inspected. The quality od A7750 varies a lot. Some can run for years without any problem, and some will die very soon. Trust there are different factories in China making this movement and their build quality do vary.
