Tudor with a problem, can someone help?

[Hans1974]

Bought this Tudor Ranger from a td. When it arrived I noticed the hands didn't sit correct so I brought it to my watchsmith to fix it.

Now a week later the hands are again in the same position as how it arrived, like 30min off after running a week with hands in correct position.

Does anybody know what this problem might be?

hands themselves are slipping. might need new hands or new movement pinion.

either way i would just exchange it for a new one

Either that or the hour pinion is slipping due to an excess gap between movement and the underside of the dial, this is usually the cause when a washer is not used on a 2824 movement, this latter problem is not evident with a 2836.

+1 to this.

There is a cover on the hour wheel in a 2836, whereas not on the 2824

What ssteel said. The 2824 uses a spring washer over the hour wheel. With out it, the hour wheel will slip up and out of position. Very simple fix.
