Rotary K726 Spring issues


Recommended Posts

Posting about my Sicura D500 Jump watch has got me looking at this watch, which was my 18th Birthday present in 1980.
It runs, it winds up. However, it doesn't "stop" winding, and it runs down pretty quickly. I decided to email Rotary, who identified the model, but apologised that they were no longer able to repair it.

So the question is, does anyone know of a reputable UK watch repairer who'd be able to a) assess the watch and its problems, and B) quote on a repair?

Many thanks

From your description it sounds like a simple case of a slipping mainspring. You don't need a Rotary specialist for this and it's a pretty simple analysis and fix situation. If a mainspring replacement isn't something you can attempt yourself (and I say this because any of the regular contributors on this forum could easily do this but I note you're a new member so assume you might want to leave this to someone else) then doing a search for an established watch repairer local-to-you is probably the best idea.

And if the watch repairer is going to do this repair and this watch is something you want to use and keep long term - which it sounds like it is as a special 18th birthday gift - then you should have it serviced too i.e. a general cleaning and oiling.
