SA3135 jamming...

Hi all,

Recently made a purchase ofhttp://pureti.me/product/submariner-116610-ln-sa3135-best-edition-v2/
Which looks to use a sa3135 clone movement.

Being the complete noob that I am know very little about movements in general! I have done a bit of digging around the site and found a couple of articles stating that these movements can be temperamental and fragile.

The problem I seem to have is the movement will wind and run absolutely fine as long as I'm not wearing the watch!:cower: Which kind of defeats the point of a wristwatch!!
If I leave it on the side it runs like a champ with no issue but when I put it on the movement seems to jam every now and again and will only start again by rotating the watch whilst off my wrist.

Now I can only assume that this have something to do with the weighted winding system of the movement maybe pinching something else inside there?

Has anyone else experienced this or better still does anyone have a remedy!?

Thanks in advance
