Captain Swoop 0 Posted April 15, 2012 My so far spot on reliable Josh 5512 has decided to stop every time the second hand passes 4. A gently tap or shake and it carries on round until 4 again and stops. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
powderfreak 0 Posted April 15, 2012 Had that once, too - I suspect it was the seconds hand being bent up towards the crystal (blocking/stopping there), but I never found out for certain. Just took it out of the drawer once and the problem was gone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted April 16, 2012 Sent it to some watch modder, or go to your watchmaker, so he will set the hands right, so they will not touch them self Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Swoop 0 Posted April 16, 2012 popped the movement out and it still stops in the same place, hands aren't touching each other, tiny shake or tap sets it off again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted April 16, 2012 if it is 21J movement version buy new movement, if it is ETA and you are in CONUS send it to CLS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Swoop 0 Posted April 16, 2012 It's 21J I have a new one from Cousins already. It runs Ok when I hold it with the crown pointing down. Not worth messing with so I will swap the hands and dial. Good job it's a 5512, I won't have to worry about a date ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Swoop 0 Posted April 18, 2012 It's working again. I gave it a bit of a blow out with my air puffer and it started to work. I put it back together and it's running fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Swoop 0 Posted May 3, 2012 Well, it stopped working again in exactly the same way a day later. I took the movement out and removed the hands and dial. I left the movement running and on its own it didn't stop once. I guessed the second had must be catching somehow. I pt the dial and hands back on and it ran OK for 3 or 4 days. Great I thought I fixed it but then it stopped again in exactly the same way. I took the movement out and threw it away. I got a brand new one from Cousins and put that in. It worked great for a week but now it has stopped dead again and won't go even out of the case with the hands and dial removed. Piece of crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
