SWISS ETA STOPS please help

[markharris]

hi all i have a upo with a so called swiss eta the problem is it keeps stoping it seems its not charging off the rotor i have had a look and is spinning freely BUT I MUST SAY IT SOUNDS A LITTLE NOISY WHEN IT SPINS if i wind it manualy it will run for 2 days no problem
ANY IDEAS :?:

The first thing to check is that the movement holder screws aren't fouling the rotor and that the rotor itself is correctly screwed in place/securely. Let's know if this doesn't cure the problem... :wink:

THANKS SCONEHEAD i checked the rotor and all is fine i dont know a lot about movements i just love my watches but you can see the 2 small cogs at the behind the rotor turning as the rotor turns but i does not seem to charge

And you're sure you can hear the rotor spinning when the caseback is put back on?

 

[markharris]

yes for sure it has a anti magnetic cover and you can hear it spinning

Check if the anti-magnetic cover has come loose and is preventing the rotor from turning properly. That happened to my Planet Ocean so I just got rid of the anti-magnetic cover and it works perfectly now.

sorry to say stopped again its just charging off the rotor

The rotor is spinning and it's turning the main spring. Nothing seems to be interfering with it. Hand-winding works well. Hmmm...
Sounds like it's watch smith time.

 

[markharris]

i think your right ill just keep winding by hand untill i can get it to one

Sorry about that it's a great watch. Hope it's easily fixed.
