6497 Cannon Pinion help

Hi guys,

 

Just picked this 416 up, Its super stunning and I love it. However, when it arrived the second hand was intermitantly stopping on the 12,3,6 and 9 markers (which I presume are slightly raised) it was fine when flat however at ant angle it would stick.

 

I wound the watch and left it overnight flat on the table, I woke this morning to find it running ok, so I put the watch on a set of to work, when I arrived this second hand was floating in the watch!

As I look at the second hand hole I cant see a cannon pinion? Is it recessed under the dial, If I try to replace the second hand is it an easy thing to do considering I have worked on eta movements a fair bit, but never a 6497?

 

Thanks in advance fellas!

The pin is still there. You only need to press the seconds back on ;)

 

 10 minutes work at most!
