BadPickle 2,749 Posted March 4, 2015 Worse case scenario, new movement time, inexpensive. I would go with Greg, and say its either the hair spring tangled up, or the movement is magnetised, or even has a pube lurking in the hair spring. Saved yourself some cash there JB, SSTEAL must have another holiday booked :lmao: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andyboy 5 Posted March 4, 2015 err hang on a bit i missed something ,, what was the cure?? advised him to try having it fully wound and leaving it face down then on it`s side with the crown pointing upwards. This sometimes helps if there is an issue with the hairspring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
