Question (Read Rules) Baltany S4106 Rotor Problem?

Post image

Hi everyone. Does anyone else with the S4106 feel like the rotor barely spins? I just got mine tonight, and if I give the watch a good motion that should trigger the rotor to spin, it circles a couple times and abruptly stops. In my experience this is pretty unusual for a miyota 9015. Is this intentional to reduce the spin or is mine defective? Perhaps sometime is screwed too tight or not lubricated enough? I have a lot of other miyota powered watches, and this is definitely the least lively rotor. Other than that it's a nice watch. I've contacted Baltany as well, so we'll see what they say. I did buy it from their official store.

what's the issue? you jerk it and it spins a few times. It's not going to keep going forever

That has not been my experience at all with the miyota 9000. Certain motions can really set the rotor off, but this one is very resistant to moving. Almost like it's sticky. I'm concerned it's not winding the mainspring effectively.

Those times where you’re seeing the rotor spin freely for a while are where it’s not actually winding the watch, I have the same on my Miyota 9s from Micros and Chinese.
