Explorer II GMT hand is slipping =(

[cableguy]

so i just noticed today that my GMT hand on my Explorer II isnt moving very much....it moves then stops.....the other hands move fine and keeps great time......

i'm bummed.

I wonder if its fixable?

It is.

1. pull out the crown at position 2 (this is the position that you can adjust the date and GMT time).

2. adjust your GMT hand to where you want it to be.

3. turn slowly the crown to the opposite direction like you'd do if you wanted to change the date.

4. turn until you see that the date is moving to change THEN stop. Don't change the date really - you didn't want this in the first place right?

5. push the crown to position 1 and then screw it in.

6. Wear your watch.

7. Enjoy your GMT hand working.

(9. Do the trick above every time you change the GMT hour setting.)

and lastly,

i guess that you have the ETA explorer II with the "wrong" hand stack. If not i don't know if the above works for you as i didn't ever own the "correct" GMT hand stack.

cheers.

You didn't clarify what movement/hand stack gmt you have so i don't know if it really works for you...

But if it does the explanation is simple:

Bastardized movement (as The Zigmeister says) with its own habits :p
