BadApple 13,079 Posted January 24, 2020 Got a Gate Cheapie Pelagos which is acting up. Try and wind and it is totally silent on winding but appears to accept winding / charge. Pull crown out to change time and the reserve just discharges itself to zero so needs winding again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tribefan 6,768 Posted January 24, 2020 Yeah, because it's a gate cheapie it's broken. If it were a $2K franken, it would be "quirky". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,485 Posted January 24, 2020 No, I prefer him: Anyway, it's a DHGate one, and with a messedup 21j, something is broke inside, it may be a pinion of the train gear (do the hands move superfast while the barrel is discharging?) or something else. Most probably the best option is to simply put in a new DG2813 (if that's the movement inside). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
