This sounds like my problem yes. The center second hand indeed does not move, only when the stopwatch is started. It doesn't exactly jump around, but it can move freely about 1 millimeter from left to right depending on how gravity is pulling on it, even when it stands still. I can imagine if it has even more play, that it will jump around when it is moving. I will post some photographs later, just to be 100% sure of no cure... I was quite excited to be about to open it

Hi Toadtorrent. Yes, the large second hand is from the chronometer. What you are saying sounds good to me. Pushing the second hand back on the pinion, whatever that is So, how do I do that? Open it up and push carefully on top of the center axle where all three hands are turning on? Or perhaps something from the back? I don't mind opening it up, it was not that expensive and I see it like part of the fun anyway.

I just got my first watch. It looks great (see below) and I am very happy with it. Problem is, the second hand has one or two millimeters play depending on how you turn or rotate the watch caused by gravity. It's a little loose. I am a watch noob, but is it possible to fix this? Like opening it up and turn some screw or put some glue somewhere? It has a Miyota movement in it. Here is the manual and blue print: http://www.citizen.co.jp/miyota_mvt/download/pdf/spec_0S62.pdf and http://www.citizen.co.jp/miyota_mvt/download/pdf/draw_0S62.pdf

Hey, thanks for the Myota S20 hint Dudemeister. I searched a bit more and fount the Myota movement overview: http://www.citizen.co.jp/miyota_mvt/download/ As the seller mentions the movement is OS or actually 0S, I looked up the 3 eyes clockworks and I think it is a 0S62 movement: http://www.citizen.co.jp/miyota_mvt/download/pdf/spec_0S62.pdf - Am I right? Great information there, very nice to see a manual. I didn´t understand what the hour hand did as I saw it never moving on youtube movies, nor how the tachymetre outer ring worked. So, thank you Dudemeister! You rule.

Excellent Dudemeister. Thanks for the info! This all sounds pretty great to me! I mean, it's reliable, not that scratchy, the dials work, it's accurate, and well, probably not water proof. I'll take that last thing into account. As for the rest, sounds like a good quality watch that's looking great! Very interesting how far the repmarket is.

I just found out about the replica market last week and have been reading ever since. This is an incredible forum by the way! I didn't know there was so much to know about watches! I looked at 2368 watches to be exact during the past days, every single one on timeshops.net in the 100-200 dollar market Anyway, after selecting about 10 watches I made my choice and fell in love with this Tag: TG6382 - Tag Heuer Carrera White Dial SS - JAPAN OS Chronograph MOVEMENT: JAPAN OS CHRONOGRAPH CASE DIAMETER: 40MM THICKNESS: 13mm DIAL COLOR: WHITE CASE MATERIAL: STAINLESS STEEL 316L BRACELET: STAINLESS STEEL 316L FRONT GLASS: MINERAL CRYSTAL OTHER: WATER RESISTANT They ask 108 dollar for it, but they have a deduct code which makes it go for 88. Being a total noob, I would like to ask a couple questions before I order, hoping someone who knows about watches could please take the time (pun intended) to answer some: - will it break in a week - how much 'off' will this japan os movement be, like 5 minutes a week or 5 a day - will all functions/dials work like they are supposed to - does this mineral crystal glass scratch quickly - could it really be water proof - is there perhaps a better shop to go to I understand I ask a lot, but I really don't know anything about replica's. Thanks in advance guys!
