Dear Members and experts,

I bought Tissot Le Locle watch from one of the shop brand new and I believe the watch was genuine. I do not wear that watch so I usually wind it to work. Start from a few weeks ago, it makes clicking (like pinions are not engaging) noise when I am winding the watch. Before that was happened I noticed that when I winding the watch the whole rotor is spining is that normal? So I would like to know what is wrong with it and what should I do? Thank you.

Not normal, that indicates that the mechanism that decouples the hand winding from the rotating weight is stuck and/or faulty.

If the watch is authentic that's is easy  to tell based on price paid, looks and accessories. 

In any case return it for a refund.

      Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.

      Message board problem

      Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

      As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
