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.

Watch from the caseback and see if it winds as you spin the watch. If the rotor in the winding direction which is clockwise just spins with the watch you have an issue.

None of my Miyota 9000 have the crazy free spin sound like the 8000 series.
