JDM180 7 Posted January 13, 2015 Hi guys , Got a 21j where the second hand keeps stopping ( usually same place ) , have checked hand clearence and its not that , have ran it outside of the case to make sure it wasnt the crystal and still stops , have removed and refitted hands and no change. A very slight tap and it carrys on its way... Noticed if i was a bit heavier with the hand fitters pushing the second hand on it stuck completly , just lightly placed it but still stopped ... Any ideas before it goes in the bin ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daywatch 4 Posted January 13, 2015 Hi, when it´s the same place usually it´s one of the points You already tried: hands catching each other - touching crystal - touching dial.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDM180 7 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) 100% the hands not catching , ive had it running out of the case and checked the hands and cant see anything ( stops on other side of the hands anyway ) the whole movement stops i.e balance wheel stops too. Ive had a blower on it but no change. Even lightly picking it up sets it off again :s It was just a broken movment from a previous repair that i was trying to fix so be nice to get it up and running again , no need for a new movment.

D_Chico 0 Posted January 13, 2015 Probably a small piece of dirt or something stuck on the fourth wheel..take a can of compressed air and gently spray inside the movement away from the hairspring and balance assembly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDM180 7 Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks! If i get a picture could you tell me which the forth wheel is ? ( take it that is the second hands wheel ) Is there anything on the front ( behind dial ) that could cause this as well ? ( just wondering if im wasting my time opening the front end up again ) ,ive checked once for debri but couldnt see anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
