Been a few days since I wore my Oris , big crown pointer date and when I went to wind it up, it is now spinning the rotor as it’s whining the watch. Hasn’t been dropped on anything or abused in any way shape or form it just decided it wanted to do this this morning. How fucked am I though I do have a year left on the warranty. Anybody have any Oris warranty experiences? |

According to Grok No, the rotor in an Oris Big Crown Pointer Date (an automatic mechanical watch) should not spin while manually winding the watch using the crown. The rotor is designed to spin only with the natural movements of your wrist to automatically wind the mainspring, not during manual winding, which directly winds the mainspring via a separate mechanism. If the rotor is spinning during manual winding, the problem is likely due to issues in the automatic winding system, such as dry or insufficient lubrication on the reverser gears, a sticky ratchet wheel, or excessive friction. This is a relatively common issue in movements like the Sellita SW200-1 (or similar calibers used in Oris watches) and is often a straightforward fix for a qualified watchmaker, such as cleaning and relubricating the affected parts. If your watch is under warranty, contact Oris or an authorized service center for inspection. |
