pman Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I've got a 42mm Omega PO with ETA movement from a very reputable dealer. I've had it about 5 months and it's been perfect until now. I went to adjust the time and when I twist the crown the hands turn but then the crown "slips" the hands stop moving and then start turning again. It happens each time I turn the crown. Does this make sense? Any suggestions on what to do? Is this a job for an expert or is there something I can do? Thanks in advance for the help. pman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Does this one have a screw down crown? If yes, then most likely the problem is the crown itself, not something in the movement. If you "pull" slightly on the crown does it work? How does the crown work in the winding position, can you wind without any problem, or does it slip? Unlikely that the movement has a problem, they normally break or work, not sort of work on and off... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Yes, it's screw down. I don't have the watch on but I will check when I get home tonight. As best I can recall that there wasn't a problem when winding. I think I had the same problem adjusting the date wheel. Do you think the crown is out too far? Thanks The Zigmeister, I'll send you an update tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 The Zigmeister, It does when winding too. What do you think doctor? pman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 If it does it for winding and time setting, then I suspect the crown is bad and needs to be replaced... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
