Any problem on 5711?

 

Hi,
I just wish to check if anyone of you who owns a 5711 had encountered any problems on the said watch left on the watch winder.

I own several watch winders wherein I store my watches after use or after winding them so that it will be convenient for me to just pick it up and use it without rewinding the watch to the correct time.

In recent months, I noticed the 5711 failing to maintain the correct time after leaving it on the winder after use or rewinding. I thought that perhaps it could be related to the specific winder so I rotated the watches in those winders. Unfortunately, the other watches continued to maintain the correct time except on the 5711. It either stopped or lagged in time.

On the other hand, I tried using the 5711 for five consecutive days out of the winder and did not have any problem. It is running smoothly albeit a bit faster.

Could this be the 324 movement issue? Or any other issues I am unfamiliar with.

Hope to hear your inputs on this "little problem" of mine. Thanks in advance!

I had a trouble with the barrel of my 324 and I know several persons with similar problesm (winding efficiency issues or power reserve). I'm not surprised by this sadly. My advice is to fully wind it, wear the watch and check if it runs properly on the wr... 

I followed your advice on winding them fully...

But the same issue recurs after leaving the 5711 on the winder for more than 2 days. I hate to bring the watch to the AD for checkup as it may entail not getting back immediately after diagnosis. But looks like I may have no choice. Will keep all posted. ...

the same : it stopped after 2 or 3 hours back to Patek (3 weeks) now it works !

Thanks for the quick response.

I will try to do as suggested, will observe and do the necessary action including sending back to my AD for service. I am just sad that such problem does occur on a Patek. Hope it is nothing serious and that I can claim for service warranty inasmuch as th... 

oil ?

of course you can claim service warranty ! (I was told it is a problem due to oil...)

I have same problem with my 5980, 5712ss, and 5712r. Now my watch winder is just a show box.

Funny, these are all Nautilus models ...

Is this related to all the movement installed in the said model. I never had an issue on my AC and Aquanaut inside the winder.

only counterclockwise....

... did you change the winder to only counterclockwise winding? The movement only winds in this direction. Bidirectional winding won´t give enough power to the watch. With my 5960 and 5146 which basically have the same automatic winding system, I realized...

That's exactly the same recommendation given to me by my AD yesterday when I visited them. I was told to put my winder to counter clockwise mode as that is how it should be to fully power the reserve of the watch. I told them that I would do so. I was fur... 

Sat to say...

The watch stopped on Day3 despite doing the counter clockwise mode and after fully winding the watch. I will observe the watch in the next several days if constant wearing will ensure the watch movement will not stopped. Will make my next move and keep al... 

Happy new year and happy to report ...

That my 5711's power reserve on the watch winder is doing fine now. Apart from changing to counter clockwise mode and fully winding the watch by 60 turns, I also changed the battery of the winder to a new one. It's been past 4 days already and the watch i...
