Replica watch second hand sticking

[Pehenley 0]

Hi everyone,

 

This is my first post. I recently purchased a skyfall omega planet ocean replica off Ali express. It's my first replica and I love the watch. The only problem is that the movement stops randomly and won't start back up without some help from me. The second hand always gets stuck around the 6 o'clock position. If I pulls the crown in and out it looks like it 'dislodges' something and continues to tick. I can also get it un stuck and continue to tick if I give the crystal a few good taps. I'd rather not buy another replica and fix this one. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be? Thanks!

You need to get yourself some tools mate . . .

Sounds like the seconds hand is touching the crystal. You will need to pop the movement out of e case and make sure the seconds hand is seated properly and isn't bent.

 

It's not as difficult as it sounds, you will need a sticky ball or case opener, a screwdriver, a hand removal tool and steady hands.

 

If you search, there is bound to be a tutorial.

 

Good luck

Foxindebox you were right. I opened it up and pressed the second hand in firm. Works like a charm now. Thanks!

You were lucky then, those POs have very little clearance between the dial and indicies for the hands to move, so its quite a trick getting them to all fit and move smoothly. Some of our forum watchsmiths have even commented on how much of a nuisance those things can be....
