Watch stopping as second han passes 4!

[captain swoop]

My so far spot on reliable Josh 5512 has decided to stop when the second hand reaches 4.A

light tap or little shake and it starts again until it gets to 4 and then stops again.

Any ideas.

Hand is touching the crystal either te crystal is not on flat or the seconds hand pinion is bent

[captain swoop]

I can't see it being the pinion as it was working ok for a month, same wit hthe crystal.

It's got worse now, it sticks at 3 .. tap it moves to 4 and sticks ... tap and it moves to 5 and sticks. Tap again and it carries on back round.

[captain swoop]

Ok popped the movement out and it still stops inthe same place and a gently shake or tap starts it off again. Hands aren't touching each other.

Sounds like some foreign material in your wheel train gumming things up.

[captain swoop]

It runs OK when I hold it crown down.

It's a 21J so I will just swap it, I have a new one from Cousins already.

[krpster]

Could be the stem is too short if that is the case. Movement might be just fine. If the stem on the new movement is long enough I would try that first.

[captain swoop]

Well, I gave it a blow out with my air puffer and it works ok again!

All reassembled and on the wrist.

It stopped working again in exactly the same way a day later.

I took the movement out and removed the hands and dial. I left the movement running and on its own it didn't stop once. I guessed the second had must be catching somehow. I pt the dial and hands back on and it ran OK for 3 or 4 days. Great I thought I fixed it but then it stopped again in exactly the same way. I took the movement out and threw it away. I got a brand new one from Cousins and put that in. It worked great for a week but now it has stopped dead again and won't go even out of the case with the hands and dial removed.

Piece of crap.

Can Cousins UK send you a new one? It's only been 4 days.

Hahahaha, this lines just made my day!!!

Had words with cousins, sending the movt back to them, it's was only a tenner but it's the principal. I think I need to forget the 21j things and go for ETA.
