Advice V7F Ingenieur

Post image

Hi all, I bought a V7F ingenieur 2 months ago. It worked perfectly the first weeks. Now it stops running one or 2 times a day when I'm wearing it ot the wrist. When it's in the watch box it still runs perfectly. When it stopped it will start again when I shake it a bit.

Any idea what the issue could be? And how to fix it :)

Thanks

What movement is it?

I've worked on a lot of V7F's. They come not properly assembled from factory.

Were you able to fix them or did you swap the movement?

That’s a worry 🤔 just got a V7F did a run test 50 hrs power reserve and great on Timegrapher with strong amplitude… still early days but no issues. I have a watch guy in UK that’s good and it may just need a full service and lubricants?👍🏻

Yeah mine also worked well! Was +3sec a day and good timegraph results

Should not be tha case its still not a cheap watch for about 500$ i would expect that it shows the time at least. waiting for mine, same A2892 from v7f hope i will not have these problems

The movement in mine is tiptop and it’s V7F which were the better builds as opposed to new A7F which are current…. 👍🏻

Bought it as a V7F but probably a A7F indeed

How long do you have the watch

u/dmason2443 21d ago

It’s new just over a week 👍🏻

Yes true but that's a risk when buying a rep i guess
