My caliber 1570 stopped!
Hi, I have a vintage gmt with caliber 1570. It just stopped out of the blue. No matter how I move my arms or wind it, it just does not work :( did anyone experience this before?

Don't want to sound like a jerk, but it happens. How long since service?

Welcome to the Forum. So you've wound it fully and it still doesn't run?

Probably the mainspring. Should be a fairly easy and inexpensive fix. I changed the main spring on one of my old subs. Then again I fancy myself an amateur watchmaker.

Hey, Chris. I brought it to a watchmaker. The only problem was a huge amount of dirt inside the movement. The watchmaker said that by the amount of dirt, he thinks that the watch probably had never been serviced before 😨 it is almost 50 years old. It's running clean now :) thanks guys |
