Yeah, it looks like the micrometric screw is missing on your movement. Put the watch over an area where you would be able to see if something falls out, like some piece of dark cloth. Give the watch a few shakes.

Another faulty 111 thread.

Think I’ve had around x3 faulty 111’s and I’ve read at least 3 threads about others with the same issue.

you can just see the micro adjust screw / pin and that's what is most likely causing the problems now because yout latest picture is not showing it now look at the red arrows below

It be jammed somewhere in the orange circle below

if you lucky if you have a cloth placed on a table and flip the watch over and give it a slight shake it may come unstuck and fall on the cloth

If you not lucky contact a watch repairer to get it sorted

being it's a used watch and nearly 2 months old I don't know if a TD problem or not, and all the hassle of China and back costs involved

Seems to be common with the latest batch of Noob's that the micro set screws fall out. Mine was hanging on by only a few threads when it arrived. Promptly loctited it and set it in properly when regulating the watch.

It's possible it's slid into the movement. Usually they just fall into the balance wheel.

I have had the same issue with my 111. Suddenly stopped working on his first day. I wound it fully and no movement. Had a few hard shakes and the seconds hand started moving.

The 6947 is a robust movement and doesn't hack. How long have you had the watch? If you can open the case back, I'd suggest you look for any loose or missing screws. Apparently there have been a few of these issues recently. Granted, this is a popular movement so for every one issue there are probably a thousand running fine.

Is this the same movement for 411 as my is starting to stick when winding. I've stopped using it. Maybe the screw has come out and is getting jammed. Will need to open up and check it out.

Happened to me. It was the MM screw. I didn’t see it with the CB removed. Once I removed the movement, it came out. Loctite and patience when I put it back in.

I received the watch last night and today mid afternoon stopped. Haven’t had the opportunity to open the case back yet. Do you suggest tightening the screws?

Check and be sure they are all present. If any are missing, wait until it runs doesn't and then try to shake them out. If all are present, again, wait until it runs down and be sure they are snug. It should start running after a couple of turns of crown and continue until it's unwound. You should not have to tap it to get it started.
