WarBoom 9 Posted September 20, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rokerite 2,441 Posted September 20, 2017 Not much good there then, I believe there is someone called Katt on the forum also does repairs and is US based. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey_Business 0 Posted September 20, 2017 Quick question for ya there mate. Do you happen to cook on an induction oven? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirkhunt 0 Posted September 21, 2017 You sure its a Sa3135 and not a 28** movement dressed as a 3135? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarBoom 9 Posted September 21, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarBoom 9 Posted October 8, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
