Tissot Watch “Sticking”

[AliC666]

Hi. I own a Tissot T035627A Automatic watch. I rarely wear it or any of my watches because I work in engineering and don’t want to damage them. I’ve noticed with this watch that it will run for a while, and then stop, naturally I assume that it’s run out of “wind” even though it’s an automatic but no amount of “turning” the watch or anything will get it running. I’ve noticed that when it stops, simply manually advancing the time a few minutes gets it running. I’m a total amateur when it comes to watches (even though I would like to get into the mechanics of them more) so I would appreciate any insight you may have. Ultimately it’ll end up going to a proper place repair, I was just wondering what the fault may be and what the damage to the pocket may be. Thanks

Dose your watch have chrono complications? 

Has it been serviced before, how long ago?  

Sounds like a regulare service is all it needs. 

I think its movement is a chrono grade in which case service is usually costly.

Its Lemania based eta c01.211 with plastic parts.

Hi. A bit of research reveals it’s potentially an ETA C01.211. I’ve had it around 8 years. Never been serviced admittedly. It’s got the Chronograph Complications. 

 

Thanks for your reply. I’m grateful, if it’s just a service then it’s something I’d have to pay for anyway, I was more concerned about it needing parts etc.

Sorry hpekala, we posted about the movement simultaneously, I wasn’t disregarding your post and it’s confirmed what my research led me to suspect. I know nothing about it mind you!

Some plastic parts my need replacement, they shouldn't be expensive.

always nice to do a search of this discussion group who knows maybe it's been discussed before perhaps. Then I have another link that talks a little about the movement.

one of the problems with a lot of the modern watches with plastic parts are the parts may not be available. But in the above discussion there was a reference to basically the link below there are some parts available. Even more important because the link up above to the technical sheet doesn't work you can click on the PDF symbol at the link below and the tech sheet is available. this is actually quite nice because in a previous discussion about a Tissot chronograph I think actually this very one we weren't finding any technical information. A lot of the really new stuff even made by eta technical documentation seems to basically not exist.

Thanks very much for the information. I think I’ll take it somewhere and see what he has to say about it. If anyone can recommend someone in the NW of England I’d be grateful. Thanks to everyone.
