persianpirate 0 Posted June 23, 2013 Hi everyone...I'm brand new to the world of replicas and just purchased by first watch a few weeks ago. I already know I overpaid but the salt on the wound is that I think there's an issue with the movement. Basically the problem is that winding the watch doesn't seem to do much of anything. If I don't wear it for about 2 days, the movement stops even if it was fully wound. Watch noob here, but any ideas what would cause this/how much it would cost to fix? Any info is appreciated. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martinjogs 0 Posted June 23, 2013 Hi...my experience is that most of my rep,and gen, (around 25 watches total ) automatics watches stop if I don't wear them for a day or two! This is normal as far as I'm concerned. I have a couple that have a decent power reserve but I don't bother to wind watches anyway, just shake them, set the time and wear. The only one that keep on running are the Quartz movements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conx 0 Posted June 23, 2013 The power reserve for the majority of mechanical movements is somewhere between 35 - 48 hours. Therefore your watch is behaving as would be expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
persianpirate 0 Posted June 23, 2013 thanks for the responses! that's definitely a relief. Welcome to the forums. First of all, where did you purchase this rep from, and what makes you think you overpaid? I purchased it from a Chinese supplier that I had bought a few knockoff wallets from in the past (not a major website or anything). From searching around it looks like one of the more common reps and prices for it appear to be <$200. I paid slightly over that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
