captain swoop Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hand is touching the crystal either te crystal is not on flat or the seconds hand pinion is bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain swoop Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain swoop Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Sounds like some foreign material in your wheel train gumming things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain swoop Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain swoop Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well, I gave it a blow out with my air puffer and it works ok again! All reassembled and on the wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain swoop Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 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.

Jkay Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Can Cousins UK send you a new one? It's only been 4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain swoop Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
