Hi
I recently received an IWC 500109 v4 from ZF, upon arrival I noticed that the rotor had trouble rotating but the watch would work when wound. The power reserve dial would work as it should and the watch would run for 2/3 days.
Unfortunately, last week the watch stopped working completely and the PR is stuck at 7 days.
Since, I have removed the deco-plate to give space to the rotor, tried to wind it but still nothing. Has any of you experience similar misfortune with this movement ? Which action could be taken to resolve the issue?
looking forward to reading your advises!
In my misadventure, I was lucky enough to compare it to a genuine IWC 503501 Portugieser Annual Calendar and was astonished by the build on ZF portugieser compare to the real thing.
Here are some pictures:
