Ar4217 runs fast now stopped

is it manual or battery if batter replace it if manual windit up more

You need to find a qualified watchmaker to correct this problem.

If the movement was replaced twice the same problem would not be happening again and again unless there is something you are doing that puts the watch in some kind of field to magnetize it or the place you took it to did not really do anything.

My guess is they did not do anything since you say they oiled the crystals. Just oiling a watch will not solve this problem. A qualified watchmaker would know this.

Hope this helps,

HI there,

If you have an Automatic Wrist watch. Some adjustment has to do inside the watch. You better bring the unit to any local watch repair shop to adjust or correct the polarity of the energizer.

Hope this helps.

dont do anything!the watch needs service.perhaps somehow the watch fallen in a hard surface and something moved or broke in the balance wheel.the hairspring the pallet or the wheel have serious damage.to have your watch healthy wateresistance and accurate try to find a seiko authorized service center to repair your watch!

The hairspring in your watch must be degreased and demagnetized.
Coils of hairspeing is touching and this is why your watch is running so fast.
This can be done at any watch repair shop and should not cost too much as no repairs will be carried out. This job can be done in an hour, so, while you'll be shoping or having a cup of coffee.
Find your nearest watch repair shop and ask to sort out the hairspring.

Rate me, please.

This usually occur when the hairspring is disturbed ( some grease, dust particle, etc). Can be magnetized as well.
You need to find your nearest watch repairer and ask to overhaul your watch. After that it will run like new.

A quick look at ebay shows plenty of Bulova watches and only a few looking for a worthwhile price.

I think if you have it repaired for sale it probably won't be worth the effort or expense. If the watch has sentimental or nostalgia value to you I think that is what would make it worth getting a good watchmaker to look at it.

Usually when a watch with a mechanical movement is running fast its is because the adjustment on the hairspring is advanced to far. Since it wasn't running fast to begin with I can assume its because something was knocked loose. It is possible that a tiny drop of oil was on the hairspring and by knocking the watch two coils are stuck together by the oil. (this usually only happens if it has been over oiled by an amature watch repairer) Magnitization is possible but pretty unlikely, unless you play with Big coils of wire that are carrying a LOT of current. Either way, unless you know what you're doing and have the right tools, you are looking at taking it to a Tag repair center. Since a simple tune up can cost about $250, I'd expect to pay $400 to $500 for that one. Welcome to the wonderful world of high end watches.

Your question was cut off please explain your problem further Don

the hairspring may have jumped up over the regulating pins effectivly shortening the hairspring this requies a watchmaker to repair.
