DW 6263: Getting Better


lhooq

Recommended Posts

As far as the chrono stoppage. EXACT same thing. So to clarify: loosen the caseback some? Is this some type of impingement from an 'overtightened' case? Curious as to the mechanics here.

Just loosen it little by little until you're good to go! You shouldn't reach a point at which the caseback's purchase on the threads feels precarious or unsteady. If you want to be certain that the caseback is really causing your problem, just take it off and see how the chrono runs for a bit.

And FxrAndy's right: It could be solved by getting rid of a little bit of metal. Unfortunately, I am mechanically retarded.

I have had all of these issues. I have not glued the second hand yet. My watch runs so well I hate to mess with it. How hard is it to glue. It is a real small area. I just let the hand go around to 12 and then stopped it there. I do not use the chronograph that much but i would like to fix it so it does not slip on the tube.

I let my watchmaker take care of the actual gluing, but even he expressed some concern about fixing the subdial hand, since the epoxy would have to be applied precisely to such a small target. He was able to manage it in the end, but I think this is something that requires the rock-steady hand of the Waco Kid.
