Get it fixed as soon as possible.
It really isn’t an issue that corrects itself.

No it’s the same - I can make the rotor spin each time. The other two C60s I have with the same movement do not do this at all. It’s just normal smooth winding on those.theunsureavenger wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 2:12 amAnd holding the watch in a vertical position as mentioned in a few places doesn’t help the issue? I’ve seen a couple videos and seen in the sellitas manual that the movement should be wound at a 30 degree tilt.
Thanks and yes that’s my thinking as well. I can’t really enjoy it right now.
Right, I’m in contact with CW now. Thanks
Which is to say that from the point of manufacture, through transport, storage and retail even before you bought it, the watch was quietly degrading and failing? I bet that was never mentioned....CBMVic20 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 7:57 pm Had exactly the same problem on one of my watches a few years back (which also happened to be my oldest with an ETA movement). Because it had an exhibition back, you could see the rotor spinning. Needed a service and was (apparently) caused by the watch not being worn very often which was a surprise to me as it was in regular rotation.
Vallen is always outstanding, good to hear buddy.
It was probably a mis-spoke. They meant to say "worn too much" I think.CBMVic20 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 7:57 pm Had exactly the same problem on one of my watches a few years back (which also happened to be my oldest with an ETA movement).

Hi I just emailed the regular CS team.theunsureavenger wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 12:39 pm Is there a contact email that can speed up the process with repairs or should I contact the repairs@christopherward.co.uk email
Many thanks
Hope that you get it sorted and with no charge.Jkpa wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 7:05 pm CW HQ replied, kindly asking for £165 as repair fee…. I replied with picture of warranty card as originally sent to Vallen and CS team. Dated May 2018 so well within the service/warranty period of 4 years. I hope they will accept it. If not, I guess I’ll have to bite the bullet and then sell all my CWs in disgust…
