i have my gst 3715 on an orbita winder since 1 year,but in last month it uses to stop even if the winder works fine.its adjusted to the right turns/day,clockwise,so i'd like an oppinion of what is wrong with my watch.thanx
It's difficult to diagnose this via words/electronically, and the problem could either be your watch or the winder. I had a similar problem years ago with a Patek, and called Oribita. They thought it might be the winder head, sent me a new one and that solved the problem. Alternatively, you might try increase the turns per day: they really are a <u>minimum </u>and you can't overwind the watch --see if that works.
If not, then you probably have a sticky rotor, and that's a simple repair, often nothing more than lubrication on a watch that several years' old.
