I have similar problem on my 21j Chopard, when I hand wind it, the dial moves a bit right and left.

 

I presume it's the movement that isn't screwed tightly enough?

I'd be guessing the MVT clamps are lose mate.

It can happen, if the screws are not real tight the heat/cool/heat

cycle of being in an unpressurised cargo hold can back them off enough for them to vibrate lose

during transit.

 

It's an easy fix for someone who can get the back off.

I think most commonly the movement tabs have to be slightly bent. They have a bend on them to clamp down, but it sometimes needs to be finessed.

In my experience the Chinese are not shy about tightening screws. (or dropping loose ones in the movement)

Good point cls, one after thought, one of my movements was loose, figured which side, and turned the tab the other way, that sorted it, still got the tiny screw that fell out also lol
