Large Seconds Hands Got Moved On 7750b1 (what To Do?)

[speedy1]

Ok.......

So I took apart an IWC portuguese apart to remove the crystal

I got it all back together,

Put it to the corner of my desk,

,

Then when pick up my polishing cloth It snagged the large seconds hand and jerked it around the dial.

NOW it won't reset back to zero.

It runs just fine but only resets about a quarter of the way around.

OH GREAT WATCH SMITHS -O- THE BOARD>>>>>>>>>HOW CAN I REPAIR THIS!?!?!?!

The only way to reset the hand, is to remove it and re-install it in the right location.

Make sure you have the chrono in the stopped reset position when you install the hand.

Thanks zig but my dumb-ass wasn't clear in the problem. Its the large second hand only resets back about 5 min.

Hit reset on the chrono so that the hand SHOULD be at 12, pull the hand, then put the hand back on pointing at 12.

Ok I wil go through it step by step what I did

1. I hit the chono function and let it run for a few seconds

2. I stopped the chrono

3. I RESET the chrono

4. I attached the large second hands

5. I let the chrono run for 15 seconds

6. I Stop the chrono

7. Hands only resets back about 5 seconds and does this no matter how long I let it run.

NOW HERE IS WHAT I FOUND AFTER GOING OVER AND OVER THE MOVEMENT!

You all will never guess.

My large seconds hand is LOOSE. A tiny tiny bit of glue and the problem is solved.

YEAH ME!

BTW finding a swiss 7750 movement with this layout has been a ROYAL [censored] as I still have not had any luck!
