Ideally, shouldn't the watch go through a full service? Those broken off teeth are hiding somewhere and might cause more trouble than the watch not winding.
A very informative video. One question, I have read that it is dangerous to manually wind the Sellita SW200. Could this problem have been the cause of this repair? Does the replacement part seem to be made of another material? Once this part is replaced, would the movement be exposed to this happening again? Thank you very much in advance for your attention.(Sorry for my bad English)
It's true that there have been discussions and some concerns raised about manually winding the Sellita SW200. While it's generally safe to do so, excessive or forceful winding can put undue stress on the movement components, potentially leading to issues. However, it's important to note that this is not a common occurrence, and many watch owners manually wind their SW200-equipped watches without problems.
@@SolimBD Thanks for your reply, I didn't know how common it was to encounter that fault, anyway I think the design at that point is not completely resolved.
Hello Solim! Do you know if the powermatic 80 that is based on ,the eta 2824-2 has fixed this issue or its ratchet weel is still that soft too?Thanks in advance!
I've had this occur on two Powermatic 80 derived movements - a Hamilton H40 and a Tissot Powermatic 80. Both had the same issue. I now wind them very carefully, and only just enough to get them moving, relying on the automatic winding after that to fully wind them on my wrist.

You are correct those teeth will be hiding and will eventaully cause problems.

Yes i know, thanks for information sharing.

A good reason to prefer SW210.
