hello members,

got an issue with my 16613LV.

just unscrewed the crown to pos. 1 (crown out) and after winding about 10 rotations, it went freespin on me.

re-screwed. unscrewed back to pos. 1 and wound properly.

tried again to see if i could repeat the original issue, and it went free again.

i think it could be a mainspring issue but the watch only has about 2yrs wrist use since new, but has many restarts as i rotate often. its a Z 2006 series.

gonna take it to my ad this wknd for a quick assessment but any ideas?

thanks in advance.

no one huh? will update after a trip to the AD sat.

Most likely the crown is spinning freely due to the increased tension and probably a lack of grip.

thank you vanessa(?).

appreciate the response. i'll post what the ad says after a quick visit today.

but hoping it doesn;t need a full service as i've got others with more wrinkles and never had this happen.

I did not know they made a 16613lv. Are you sure its not a 16610lv?

I won't require a service if its the crown. It would only need a new crown.

I'm a little confused why you put a question mark by my name?

well, its not on your 'real name' slot of the lower avatar. its on the top part which can be anything. i'm obviously not chewbacca.

but i also wasn't 100% sure your name was vanessa. have you seen some of the names folks use in forums?

thanks again.
