Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I have a AP 15400 BP miyota that started doing a weird thing at least unknown to me. When I wind the rotor turns as well .  Watch works. Any idea  what this is? time to repair or ? .Thank you in advance.

At least tell us the movement it have. Or make a picture of it.
It is like asking about a problem on your car and putting the pic of a train...

There are also 8215 Miyota mate (21j), and they are very different from the 9015.
But yes sorry I didn't noticed Miyota in your post.
Anyway most probably the reversing gear got jammed. The autowind mechanic is quite complicated on the 9015, but a service should be enough to fix it.
Or a new movement as the prices are similar.

No problem mate. Any idea how much the service or new one is?. I paid $320 for this one. Also the watch is working it is just bit harder to wind with rotor to kick start. Do you think If I continue to do this it will eventually  go kaput! on me?
