rocky_raccoon 0 Posted August 8, 2017 Hi I have recently purchased a Rolex Milgauss ETA 2836 and the seconds hands keeps stopping at 5 minute mark. (This can be fixed if I shake it) Is there a permanent fix for this? Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocky_raccoon 0 Posted August 8, 2017 It stops whilst I'm wearing it I have wound it several times. Hoping it can be easily fixed as I really like the look of my watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 79 Posted August 8, 2017 Sounds like it could use a service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted August 8, 2017 Might be the seconds hand sraping at the underside of the glass. If so, slightly bend the hand and try again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRANSPORTER 1 Posted August 9, 2017 Probably will need a service as standard mate, but first you need to find out what's causing the problem, as said it could be the hand hitting the crystal, or it be hitting the minute hand, just because it might be loose on its post. If you are able to remove the movement do so and under a loup and at eye level observe what the hands are doing at the particular point where they stop, see if they are touching or if the second hand is not level with the rest of the hand stack, if its this then adjust the offending hand, you will need to remove it to straighten it ok otherwise there is a risk of it snapping or you marking the dial ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
