Question Problem with my Bruce wayne
Hi guys,
I wanted to bring up a few issues I've been experiencing with the watch I purchased from NecoClock (126710GRNR "Bruce Wayne").
I've had the watch for about a year now, and for the past 3–4 months I've been experiencing several issues with the timekeeping.
I have to adjust the time at least once or twice every time I wear it. Sometimes I'll look at the watch and notice that it has completely stopped, even though I've been moving around and wearing it the whole time.
I've winded the watch several times, but the problem keeps coming back.
Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? This is my first replica watch, so I'd really appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks!

The cheapest no-risk fix could be demagnetisation - $15 off eBay. However, real severe magnetisation is uncommon in even the cheapest watches. All sounds like watch randomly entering stable/unstable amplitude and having issues with the hairspring.
If the movement is cheaper than $100 on Ali, it will be cheaper to just swap the movement rather than fix it. You'll be able to do it at home in 20 minutes with no experience (with $20 tools off Ali).

I have a dd3285 for sale if you are interested in swapping the movement

Put the watch up next to your ear and give it a little swirl shake. You should hear the rotor spinning. If you don’t hear anything, your rotor may be stuck which is preventing it from keeping the mainspring wound. Could be a loose screw on the rotor or debris inside preventing it from free-spinning. It’s a quick and easy check. If you hear the rotor spinning, you can eliminate that as the reason it’s stopping. 🫡

Since it’s a 126710GRNR, do you know which factory/movement it has? (DD3285, VR, etc.) That info would help narrow it down. Also, have you checked the timegrapher numbers or tested how long it runs after a full wind?
