bell & ross back screw

[fzr]

hi I am new here and sorry if i didn't saw , what is the use of the back screw on b&r ???
I just got one which stops working after 5min in hand , but lying on table can work for 12-14 hours ???!!!
Maybe I made something wrong , thanks anyway

The one on the case marked 'Do Not Remove' or the one on the base of the movement with a + and -?
The first one is the cover of the stem release, remove it and use a long pin to press in the stem release whilst gently pulling the crown 'out'. This will allow you to remove the movement for servicing.

The second one will only apply on an automatic movement and is the regulator, one click of this should speed up or slow down the speed of your movement by about 5 minutes a day, /if you given it a BIG turn you've not done yourself any favours

Hope this helps.

Same pb here on my BR03-92 Asian Clone 2836 movement...Stop after 3 or 4 hours even if I wear it all the day...It' will be on the way to China soon...

I have have had poor experience with the Asian Automatics. I now stick to Quartz Clones. No problems. I have the Bell & Ross 42mm swiss quartz chrono and it is perfect. It also has the Saphire crystal.

first of all thanks for the replays, mine has only one with no + or - just "do not unscrew". OK for the quartzes but the mechanical one's have other feeling ... Mine speciment works perfectly only lying on table for 12-14 hours !!!! ,if I ware it stops in 5 mins ????? I loved this watch this is the reason why I care and want to fix it ,and I have no intention to send it back (maybe not possible)

I joined the replicas for three reasons : 1/ love watches 2/have not enough money to have them all 3/I love the feeling of micromechanical machines

I feel similar to you. However, Quartz are still mechanical with some electronics thrown in. They are reliable compared to the Asian movements that stopdue to poor design and QC. I feel the Chinese can make decent watch cases and straps but lack the technology and will to do the QC on the movements. If a Rep says it is Swiss and it is made less than a year ago you most likely are getting Asian copy of ETA Swiss movement but paying for Swiss. I even question if the "synthetic saphire" is saphire at all. It looks better than mineral crytal but most likely is glass.

This lying reminds me of my Fathers Dating delema at his retirement community in Florida . He is 80 and in demand as he is a living male over 70 (rare in florida). All the woman lie about their age to him who put personals in the newpaper. They say they are 75 when they are really 80 years old. It seems like a poor way to start off a relationship on lies.

How right you are , but I try not to take the replicas so serius as my also 81year living father I mean that I must buy the authentic if I fell in love with it ...
(the reability and precision of my quartz CASIO & SWATCH is unbeatable even from my gen. OMEGA... )

Is there any ideas -exept sending back- about stopping when on hand ?? is there any cure ? or I'll have a "table watch" :lol: :lol: :lol:
