aitcharGMT 0 Posted February 21, 2018 Any common causes/fixes for seconds hand stuttering on and off on a watch? Seems like sometimes something doesn't let the second hand move and when it moves out catches on to the proper time. I doubt it's a one-hand rattrapante I tried smacking it and same issue sometimes it stutters and sometimes works like it should. There's nothing obvious when opening the case and the hand doesn't seem loose (otherwise it would not catch up with time) Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted February 21, 2018 My understanding is its purely down to the weight of the seconds hand that is beyond what the movement is designed to drive, so you get some stutter. A plain simple seconds hand doesn;t seem to suffer whereas those such as the Omega 300m spectre edition with the lollipop seconds hand does have the issue. Whats the seconds hand on your watch with the issue like? <Edit> Actually I was thinking of the Miyota 8215 series, that'll teach me for not reading the title properly. D'oh!

I don't think it's the weight or the position. Likely the gear as was suggested by Narikaa (This thing, well, i made a mess with the quotes... Sorry.) 6 hours ago, narikaa said: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rx4Time 1,472 Posted August 17, 2019 That link is for a miyota 8215. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Logixa 8 Posted August 17, 2019 Yes @NCRich there is one like that for the 2813. I tried adjusting it but ended up being worse no matter what I did. It didn't work, there seems to be a goldy lock zone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
