Jimmy Oldskool 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Hi, I'm Jimmy, a long time lurker, first time poster and need some help pleeeease!!!!! I have a B&R BR01-94 replica that I've had for about a year and use for work and knocking about in. I bought it from a guy that deals in watches and up till now, apart from one of the strap screws falling out, it has been pretty faultless. I have no idea what the movement is, but just recently, the second hand has started 'stuttering' and losing a lot of time, then last week it stopped completely. I can wind the watch and it'll run for a short time, but stops relatively soon after. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong and who I could send it to for repair? Below are some pics of the exact watch for reference. Cheers Jimmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
