I want to ask if there's anything wrong with my 5711
Nov 20, 2020,23:44 PM
Since the pandemic, most are working from home incld. me, so not so active in terms of movement other than browsing, eating & sleeping
(still lose abt 9-10 pounds), bit of walking only in the house π
I have found my 5711 lately has been stopping after 2-3 weeks on the wrist. When resetting, I give between 10-20 turns and still would stop after about 3 weeks. When on the wrist, keeps perfect time about -1 to 0 sec/day π I got the watch BNIB in May 2017 and have been wearing almost non stop.
What do you guys think is the problem? Lack of activity? Winding mechanism fail? Before the stay home period, it never stopped.
According to Patek booklet, give around 10 turns before wearing and it will give at least 35 hours.
Thank you in advance!

When resetting the watch each time, it continues to run
By: δΈιγγ : November 21st, 2020-01:06
for a few weeks then it is behind, say 30 min but still runs meaning it stops for a while before my wrist movement reactivates it? That's my theory but I don't know either π€·π»ββοΈ hope that's the only issue, not the mov't. How do I know it's fully wound? 20...
I would take it in for service

I don't know what the problem is but that started happening with one of my watches. After about a year it eventually stopped altogether a donut was service time....
Ooh, was it a Nautilus/Patek too?

I let the watch run till it stopped. Tried to reset and wind it for 40 times and the second hand wouldn't move if you tilt it to the right w/ the crown open, I had to shake/move the crown to move it again, clearly something wrong with the movement π£ Have ...
Thanks for the tips!

Similar problem with my 3940.

Works great. Even on a winder. But every so often, it stops at 11:25 PM. Stops completely. On the winder. Or, it stops for a period and then starts again. If it is stopped and I take it off the winder, all it needs is a couple of turns on the crown. I ask...
Sounds similar although 5711 is different cal./simpler watch
By: δΈιγγ : November 22nd, 2020-19:21
Mine usually stops after few weeks after resetting for abt 20-30 min in the afternoon before resuming after I move my hand again. So far my guess is it is not storing enough power cause I usually stay home 99%, or there's really something wrong (hope not)...
