n18lld 674 Posted August 1, 2013 Watch just refuses to keep running. Seconds hand constantly stops between 9 and 10. Will it need a movement swap and will it be worth it? Any DIY checks to try will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

onionbag 1 Posted August 1, 2013 This happened to me with a Tag Aqauracer.....I happened to notice that it ran perfectly well when the caseback was off, so I loosened it a half turn, and now no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRANSPORTER 1 Posted August 1, 2013 Could it be hitting the minute hand mate, a movement swap is easy and cheap to do if you have to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AS90 5 Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) I have a 21j Omega movement you can have for £20. Edited August 1, 2013 by AS90 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seclark007 11 Posted August 1, 2013 With some/most of these pieces, there is an issue regarding the length of the stem. When it is screwed down as tight as it will go, the movement stops. Before you try anything drastic, simply wind it to get it going, then don't screw the crown in all the way - or back it off a quarter turn when you do. You may find that by doing this, the movement keeps on ticking. S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I leave the stem out after winding it seems to run longer especially if its on the wrist but does occasionally 'jump'. If I put the stem in only slightly then it will pass the 10 and then try its best to stop but stutter past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tzsteve 23 Posted August 1, 2013 I had the same issue with my 42mm po 21j, the second hand was touching the crystal, when all the hands are lined up does the second hand look very high? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kennycoder 97 Posted August 4, 2013 Also had the same issue. Second hand was touching minute hand that was beeing pushed up by the hour hand. Hour hand was overbent due to low canon pinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
