I just noticed that my gmt has stopped on me! I unscrewed the crown and wound it a little and it started briefly then stopped within 5 seconds. It doesn't feel the same when I wind it - it is much too easy to turn.. Possibly the mainspring :(

Thing is I just had it regulated by the ad that serviced it. Damn!!

Any input would be appreciated.

Update! The second hand just started wavering then ran backwards, then forwards then back then forward etc..

mmm, i would get it checked pretty quickly

Take it back and tell them it's broken. They goofed they should fix it.

Yes, I would go back in and get this sorted out... Was it only regulated or serviced also?

It had a full service in April of this year. Just has it regulated about 2 weeks ago and it was running flawlessly up until a while ago.

Sounds like RSC screwed up. I'd make them fix it on their dime. My 16760 just got back from service (Bob Ridley) and is running great - hope yours will be soon!

I'm not sure if it was sent to RSC. The AD that it had been serviced by (La Difference Time Centre in Richmond Hill Ontario) has a certified rolex tech on hand I believe.. Would that make the AD a RSC?

Sure sign of a broken mainspring....

You never know when one may break or not..

Thanks for the confirmation Larry - and thanks for the input guys.

I'll post some updates from tapatalk once I get to the AD tomorrow. Hopefully the watch maker is in shop and can do it within a few hours or so..
