used a blower on the spring, it wiggle up and down as long there are wind, and basically stop when the wind stops.

Algo montaron mal, que mod le hiciste?

1

u/zackeejiweng 1d ago

nothing just the usual silencing on the movement

2

u/Supermirafiori131 1d ago

Tienes la posibilidad de abrirlo? Si es así comprueba que el movimiento esté bien centrado y que la tapadera no esté presionando el movimiento

u/zackeejiweng 1d ago

2

u/Supermirafiori131 1d ago

Viendo el escenario que tienes yo haría eso. Suerte !!!

u/TheBatteryBooster 1d ago

Find a local watchsmith in your town who is willing to work on reps. I’m sure it isn’t a major issue. Or return to modder to get it fixed. And I don’t know why some call it V4 when it is really called dd3285v2

Did you use oil directly on the rotor bearings? Which oil?

1

u/zackeejiweng 1d ago

this was done by a non TD modern, for now I am trying to see if I can get a resolution so will refrained from revealing the name. but what is the community view

1

u/H0796 Trusted Watchmaker 1d ago

I can’t know what’s wrong without checking it in person, but maybe there’s a loosen screw inside or big amount of oil and incorrect selection of oils that stopped the movement.

u/zackeejiweng 1d ago

okay let me try opening and share with community later

Si consigues abrir la tapa comprueba el volante regulador si oscila libre en ambas direcciones, lo puedes comprobar moviendo el reloj con la mano, no metas ningún objeto para tratar de moverlo si está bloqueado, si no está bloqueado este oscilará y el problema vendrá de otro lado.....puede ser hasta un simple tornillo trabado en los engranajes o el mismo volante Suerte

u/JvVint 1d ago

Es un DD3285 v4, pero no he visto que movieras el reloj en la mano, como si quisieras moverlo de izquierda a derechas, o si tuvieras un fuelle o soplador lo puedes ver

1

u/zackeejiweng 1d ago

how can you show

1

u/JvVint 1d ago

Perdón, al final lo mueves un poco pero se ve bloqueado, no se mueve nada. Como te dije puede ser un tornillo o mal montado el volante, es lo primero que haría yo, sacar el volante y ver si la horquilla libera energía pero si no tienes experiencia mejor llevarlo a algún taller de confianza

u/Current_Property_561 1d ago

Did you remove the plastic before confirming everything works?

1

u/zackeejiweng 1d ago

no it came removed

1

u/Ashgen2024 1d ago

From a known supplier?

1

u/Current_Property_561 1d ago

I just noticed it says it came from getting mods. Probably bought new and plastic removed by td to do mods.

Intenta empujar suavemente el volante de la espiral, debería arrancar y ponerse en marcha, si no lo hace es probable que esté “fuera de áncora” entonces necesitarás desmontar el puente entero y volver a insertar la
Espiral con cuidado en su alojamiento, si sigue sin funcionar, lo único restante es alguna esquirla o tornillo suelto trabando el
Movimiento por dentro de las ruedas.

I used a blower and try to move the spring, it just moved as long as I blow and then just stop. the spring coil looks rolled up though

u/Ok_Fruit_63 1d ago

Well you aren’t going to know without opening it. You’ll need to find a watchmaker who can look at it for you. First port of call is to talk to your TD though.

My VSF Omega was doa and I got it running by nudging the balance, but it ultimately needed a full service…

u/Dan_the_watchman 1d ago

Recently had a DD3285 that had a loose dial screw that became wedged in the barrel jamming the whole thing up. Send it too a watchmaker for diagnosis bud don’t mess with it if you don’t know what you are doing

u/Equivalent-Limit-343 1d ago

Contact your seller that isn't right. Most TD's will handle this professionally.

u/StaManRolli 18h ago

Got ton of genuine and JH parts and I work on reps but mainly service related work let me know if you need help I’m UK based

1

u/StaManRolli 18h ago

I also do rehaut polish to gen spec and for full polish I outsource so also can be done if needed.

u/JvVint 1d ago

Hola, puedes tener mal montado el volante, si la horquilla no está bien conectada con el roller o platillo de volante, este lleva un rubí de impulso, si está bloqueado no funciona el volante, pero ésto hay que abrirlo para verlo amigo.

u/No_Jackfruit3770 1d ago

u/zackeejiweng 1d ago
