Parnis Power Reserve stops at the same time everyday!
Discussion
After buying my Parnis in the summer a friend of mine decided he wanted one for Christmas.
He has just started to wear the watch and while it is on his wrist it stops at 7.25 everytime . However when it is not on his wrist it doesn't!
My first thoughts are that the pointers are catching,but surely this would be more likely when they were aligned. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so what was the solution.

When he's not wearing the watch does he always keep it in the same position eg face down, laying on the same side etc? Maybe it's mechanism related and that something's jaming/catching when the watch is motionless in a particular position which doesn't occur when on the wrist.
He could try to get the watch exchanged or take it to a jewellers (don't use the chains, get him to take it to a proper jewellers, I've an independant my way who can actually work on watches himself) for them to get the case back off for a nosey.

Thanks for your reply,He could try to get the watch exchanged or take it to a jewellers (don't use the chains, get him to take it to a proper jewellers, I've an independant my way who can actually work on watches himself) for them to get the case back off for a nosey.
I believe he places it flat. Weird thing is it has stopped a number of times at 7:27:32 ! So I think it is definitely something jamming ( or Supernatural !).
The seller has returned his email today so fingers crossed

The fingers need re-fitting/setting, I think they are either touching each other or touching the indices or markers.
This can not be noticed when the watch has full or part power as the mainspring has enough torque to power the pointers over the 'crash out' interference zone.
But when the mainspring is almost expired the loss of power causes the finger to stop on the 'crash out' point at almost the exact same place.
IMHO
Yes that sounds a distinct possibility, it's got to be something catching.This can not be noticed when the watch has full or part power as the mainspring has enough torque to power the pointers over the 'crash out' interference zone.

Just to make matters worse mine has worked perfectly from day one and only gains 10s/day. I hate recommending things to friends!
