Re: automatic movement
In Response To: automatic movement ()

: Is it normal for the inside of the watch to
: move when the watch is shaken? I shook my
: wrist very vigorously the other day to prove
: a point during a conversation and my
: automatic 1000 meter diver stopped! Once i
: shook it vigorously again it started back
: up...does the movement need to be cleaned?
: Was my watch not sufficiently wound up...i
: haven't worn it continously for the last 2
: or 3 days.
============================
It should feel like a yoke in a raw egg when you shake it it will feel like it is moving inside.
If it stoped take it in!
Keep posted before you do take it in.
Let the eloquent speakers here tell you more.
