Re: Spinning rotor syndrome on my FLE: Cured?

@Andy-Smith a little too late for me, but thanks for the advice! I don’t think I’ll chance it again. Do you have a link to the thread you posted a few years ago?

Re: My new C60 Sapphire is better than my Breitling, Rolex and Omegas

Your right, that coloured piece of plastic inside really elevates it above the top marque brands you mention.

Re: Spinning rotor syndrome on my FLE: Cured?

@rkovars you can’t fully see it in the photo I took, but when I move the rotor I can see 2 interlocking wheels that spin when I turn the rotor. Aren’t those the reverser wheels?

You can see one just peeking out here, but the other is there and visible when I move the rotor

Spinning rotor syndrome on my FLE: Cured?

When my FLE first arrived, everything was functioning perfectly. After about 2 weeks of wear, it suddenly came down with spinning rotor syndrome. I didn’t keep this one on a winder, and when I’d pick it up to start it and give it a few winds, the rotor was clearly spinning like a top, no matter how ...
