111j Movment problems.

[Dodgy]

I got this watch 3 months ago and haven't worn it since i no longer like Pams on bracelet's. Worked fine when the one time i wore it.

The problem is it now works very slow if at all.
I shake it vigorously and it will keep the seconds at proper speed for about 10 seconds and then slows progressively till it stops completely 30 seconds later. On the wrist it stops completely.

Any ideas?

Thanks

hate to ask, but you do know that it's a manual wind, right? Shaking is not going to wind it. It's not an automatic.

If you knew, I'm not insulting your intelligence. Just like IT, you have to always ask first, "is the machine plugged in?"

lot of the new mvts are crap...might just need to be replaced.

Are the hands rubbing?

the 111j movements should be pretty good; significantly better than the H factory movements.

Lol..Yeah mate, its "plugged in"!

I think im going to try the 'double whack' technique i read about that corrects fast movements.

Just getting up the nerve.

Maybe an obstruction of some kind or a dirty movement ?

Kinda what im thinking.
Im using this watch as a reason to find a watch repair shop, I have to develop a relationship with one sooner or later.

Katt, your a repair man...How hard is to swap a movments in a Pam?
The 111J out with the 177m? Its seems a high beat for a low beat, i like the 117m more so i want that one premo. I have the tools.

Thanks

With the right tools and experience, not that difficult .

LOL
Let me to Clarify, with the right tools and no experience. How difficult it it?

 

[katt]

Its doable but its not something I would recommend to a first timer .
