Vinguru Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Last friday my cartel 1675 arrived. It looks ok but really needs the mods i'm planning. I do have a problem though: the minute hand gets stuck every few hours. Time keeping is good for a few hours and then the minute hand stops moving. The second hand though is then still going strong. Resetting the time works and winding the watch is like stirring glass. I contacted my TD a he adviced me to reinstall the hands. Is this the correct way to go according to you guys? Also do i send the watch back to china or should i find a watchmaker in NL? Thanks for you help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 It does sound like its a simple case of refitting the hands so they don't catch one another etc. You would be best to find a local watchmaker to do this, its a quick repair, and would save you the headache returning it to China as you would be without your watch for a couple of months. NL, is that Holland, or are you Stateside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kime Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yep ditto, a quick fix for someone with experience. Setting 4 hands can be a real pita and a fairly skilled job, or at least it needs someone with good experience, so I'm surprised this doesn't happen to more reps.
