This Can't Be Right?
Well now, one week after owning my JLC EWA it decided to stop working, but temporarily. I put it to rest in its box at night as I do every night, and given that it doesn't have a power reserve indicator, I am not sure how much power reserve is left, so I wind the crown about 100 twists. I do this every night since owning it, but last night it decided to stop working at about 3:00 am after I had put it to rest (and wounded) at 7:00 PM. So I was startled to see this halted watch in the morning. I turned the crown numerous times to wind, but that did not start the watch running. So I picked it up to shake it and it instantly started running. That can't be right? The watch should wind from either the rotor spinning or by turning the crown (crown B, crown A is for the alarm) to wind. I don't mind too much the aesthetic problems I described in an earlier post, but I do mind mechanical problems. I am wondering whether this may be a one time problem, an intermitent problem, or a regular long term problem? Anyone else encounter similar event with their JLC, irregardless of the model?
(P.S. this is not a picture of the watch stopped at 3:00 am, but one I took the day before)
It is not normal.
Send it to your AD for a service, this is absolutely not normal.
Best,

I will wait a few more weeks
to see if this same problem occurs because I want to first determine if it was a one time problem or a regular problem. If it is one time, then I'll ignore it. If it is regular then I'll get it fixed. I was asking if anyone else has encountered a similar problem with their JLC watch, irregardless of model. Perhaps someone could chime in on that issue?
That is not right...
I am with Nicolas on this one and would not waste time waiting, broke is broke. I would send it in ASAP without any second thoughts. I did have a few minors issues with a new Master Comp Chrono and had it sent to JLC in New York. It now works great and I could not be happier....I suggest you fix it while it is new and under warranty. Let JLC decide what is wrong and what can be done to remedy the situation.
