2005SUBMARINER Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) 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 .. 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 . 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 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 & the watch is working great ! jay & angel offered to resend me a new watch those guys are very cool to deal with ! but i told them i repaired the watch my self & no need to resend new watch ..

KB Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 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 Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 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 Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2005SUBMARINER Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 i was also thinking if the dial feet where not installed properly to the movement , than the hands might not lotch on properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2005SUBMARINER Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 took the watch apart , refastend the dial feet to the movement , re-installed the hands ( the scariest part of the job cause i always mess up but before i went to work this morning i repaired it & thank god i didnt bend the dam hands ! that was fun im kinda happy the watch came defective that way i could practice my watch repairing skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
