myaz 3 Posted December 21, 2012 Certainly looks like something puts pressure and binds a moving part when the case back is put back on. One possibility is that the movement might be loose inside the case. Check to see if the screws that hold the movement are tight and whether messing with them affects it. Usually involves a couple of screws on the outer periphery of the movement. Otherwise, perhaps the case back somehow binds the movement when it's screwed back on. I recently had an automatic that worked when wound manually but would not wind automatically. The problem was that the rotor was rubbing on the caseback. Picture of case back of Cartier Tank. Green disclosing spray shows where rotor was rubbing Adjusting with dremel tool End result Edit: re-established links. For some reason, pictures dropped out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
