6497?stopped working, again

[Sno_0ze]

Hey all, just bought this pam111

Everything worked fine. Then suddenly, one evening IT stopped working. After 3h or 4h it worked again(i did nothing). 4 days ago IT stopped again and still isn't working... This is the Movement:

At the moment the watch is fully winded, there is a high resistance, when i try to wind it up more.
I think I will try to open the caseback and Unwind the watch. Hope this will help.
I Saw Some posts about the Same issue on this watch here.
Someone can advice me maybe while im opening the watch? Livesupport

Check that the seconds hand is not bent or touching the surface.Check the balance wheel if it has any dirty objects on it(need a x10 or x20 loupe). Remove the swan neck bridge and dip it into the one-dip solution,dry it and re-oil the incabloc.

Give it a firm tap or two on the front crystal. I'm serious, it sounds crazy but it works a lot of the time.

Yep. That`s what the watchmaker did! :lolcina: is working again.

I was told to slap it on the back, that's on a 563 with the P5000 deco plate over the top of the movement. Mine was stop and starting and gaining time like a Mofo.

Having this issue as well. Haven't tried the fonz approach though. Am I better off just getting the movement serviced?

More often than not, these movements have some dirt in there, pubes included.

Wow SS, I think you just ruined reps for me...

I think a good practice would be to immediately service any new rep once you receive it. You never know what you might find in the movement. Dust, lint, hair, skin scraps, ugh..

Only problems with this approach is the service can cost almost what you spent buying the watch(especially if it is an A7750), and finding someone that does good work in a timely manner on reps can be an unrewarding/frustrating experience.
I just leave mine alone until a disaster occurs.

Having over 20 unserviced and well running reps for over a Year, that procedure would have set me back something like $4000-$5000 including postage and the expensive labour in the EU. These are Asian knock-offs, if it ain´t broken don´t fix it (but count on it breaking sometime). Every breakdown I will just replace with a brand new and packaged replacement movement bought locally, upgrading if possible.
