Hey Guys What Could Be The Problem With The Hands.


Recommended Posts

hey guys what could be the problem with the hands on my asian 21j airking ?

i just received a r@lex airking from one of our dealers ( i wont mention his or her name cause we are in the process of working this lil problem out ) .

but as soon as i opened the plastic wrapper & held the watch to examen it i noticed the hour & minute hands wobbleing as i moved the watch up & down :bounce::( ..

have any of you guys had this problem before ?

what would be the cause of the minute & hour hands wobbleing , but the seconds hand is working fine ! other than that the watch is a beautiful :wub: .

i e-mailed the dealers & asked him if he wanted me to ship back the watch or send me a new dial , hands & movement & ill do the repair .

i have not open the watch cause im awaiting instruction from the dealer .

but just curious as to what could be the problem :g:

i decided to take the dam watch apart & found the dial feet not properly secured to the movement & tightend the dial feet screws & reinstall the hands :victory: & the watch is working great !

jay & angel offered to resend me a new watch those guys are very cool to deal with ! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

but i told them i repaired the watch my self & no need to resend new watch ..

Well it sounds as if your hands are loose on their pivots, I have never seen it before, but I know as long as I keep logging in everyday I will come across new and wonderful flaws on our reps :D

Ok this is a guess, but I would assume if you wiped a very little bit of silicon over the opening of the two hands they would then fit snug when pushed back on................but I would still take it to a watchmaker :)
