Me And My Big Mouth!

[NRG]

Here’s Murphy’s law in action! Just as I was saying in another thread, IME, how reliable the Asian 21J is this went and happened! I unscrewed the crown on my LV noobmariner to set the hands, thought it felt a little stiff so pulled a little harder and…click! The hands jumped back 10 mins and that was it, they wouldn’t move anymore and the date refused to change reliably…..

You can see in the pics the clutch return leaver that broke…

Not sure why this happened….I noticed a large amount of lube on the keyless works and date mech. which I cleaned off, the oil was everywhere, somebody was a little over enthusiastic with it I think…. The watch is back up and running now with the part replaced and everything correctly oiled, I hope this is not going to happen again!
