Anyone work on a SA3135?

Recommended Posts

I bought a V7 116610 SA3135 in June and have been very happy with it wearing it almost every day.  

New it kept 4s a day for about a month. It was once at 40s+ per day until I de-mag'd and it's now at 8-9s per day.

Recently it has stopped recharging. I'll wind it 40 times and about 2.5-3 days later it will stop. 

I wear it all day and at night it's on a winder. 

I imagine this can be repaired but does anyone know who can repair it?

Thank you.

Not much good there then, I believe there is someone called Katt on the forum also does repairs and is US based.

One of the reasons you're better off with traditional movements.

You sure its a Sa3135 and not a 28** movement dressed as a 3135?

No I do not use an induction oven but I work with my hands and I believe I mag'd it with a drill press. 

As far as I know it's a sa3135. I got it from a TD on here it was advertised and looks like all the pictures I've seen of the sa3135.

Update. 

Sept 25th I decided I would try my hand at repairing this watch, figuring I couldn't break it anymore.  (I have no idea what the correct terminology is for the gearing)

I removed the case back and studied the movement a bit.  Found that the counterweight was working but the clutch gearing wasn't advancing the main gears.

Removed the assembly. Found that one of the red clutch gears was not properly engaging because the small brass colored gear had become un-seated from backplate. Reassembled it and put it back together.

Its been working fine ever since gaining 4 seconds a day.
