P9000 clone movement stopped spinning after couple of weeks

[ohheckyeah]

I picked up a PAM505 a couple of weeks ago with the P9000 clone movement. I looked at it today and noticed the weight is not spinning freely anymore and is making a significant grinding sound. Has anyone had this happen before? I have contacted the TD, but have no heard back yet. I am hoping they will take it back and send a different one out, but I am not optimistic

Read the terms and conditions of your TD regarding warranty/replacement. I think your watch will be repaired, not replaced. But you would have to send the watch back to China.

better have it repaired locally if possible,....as Mysterio said, it can be a hassle shipping back to CN. Probably your rotorscrew is (a bit) loose so your rotor touches the caseback...don't wind it anymore, if the screw comes out and gets between the gears, you will ruin the watch

I think the rotor just presses on, on the 9000 clone movement, have a look might just be not pressed on correctly causing it to be off axis.

imo not pressfitted, 3 screws are deco, underneath is the real screw but I could be wrong ofcourse...it is a CN mvt after all...

My rotor came loose on my VSF 616 v3, it just pushed back on.........

The center plate is screwed onto the movement. The 3 visible screws on the plate are faux (they are screws but they do not do anything). The rotor itself is press-fitted on the center plate.

How did it feel when it was loose? Mine catches while it's rotating, and has a somewhat metal-on-metal feel
