Yeah 5 months no kiddingThe AD who sold the watches to us at Midvalley was once a top performer in selling Ball watches but lately they have excluded this watch from their dealership. Now you can see Oris in front at their shop. No more Ball at all.
HaI have a Ball but seldom wear. My wife has one and she wears occasionally. Hers is the same situation as yours just stop. Shake it move a little and stops. Give up and send to the AD as still under warranty but not back after 5 months.You can tell me how great is Ball watch nowadays.Best of luck
you dont shake an automatic watch, what you need is winding a few times to kickstart it to move. Most of Ball watches uses the reliable eta movements, and shaking too hard might cause something to snap.Quote from: Yoda on February 04, 2014, 07:04:57 AMHaI have a Ball but seldom wear.

Winding should be minimised, let the auto do the work.
Pls read the operating instruction before you use the watch. Ihave a revue thommen that uses the same eta movement and i have been winding it before i wore it for ages now and nothing so called weak point has occurred . Almost all watch companies will state in their operating manual to wind before wearing. One example is the ap ROO divers manual booklet, which advice to wind about 30 times before wearing. If there is a weak point in the 2824 , they wont be here for so many years. It might be some modification done by some manufactures which could have distorted the durability of the functionsQuote from: jason_recliner on February 05, 2014, 04:22:29 PMQuote from: tonykpk on February 04, 2014, 07:59:40 PMyou dont shake an automatic watch, what you need is winding a few times to kickstart it to move.
