Issue with 176...
I bought a used K series 176 a few years ago. I had it serviced in 2015. Now it won't fully wind. After about 30 or so turns of the crown it slips, I can hear it, and keeps winding, never topping out. I took it back to the AD and they said something about the barrel, which makes sense, and it will cost $100 + to fix.
Is this to be expected after only a couple of years? The bbl had been replaced at the service. And it's not even close to a daily wearer. I like it and want to keep it, but I hope it doesn't become a service headache. Besides, I have nice strap collection. |

The ETA 6497-based movement in the 176 is a great design, very reliable, and easy to work on, but these things happen unfortunately.

Possible over wind?

No, not overwound. I never got to the "stop" feel, which takes about 100 turns of my fingers and I usually count so I know I'm getting close. Anyway, I'm sure they'll sort it. The AD works on these themselves.
