Owens Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi everyone, So last night I dropped my watch face down on the tile floor. The bezel insert came out and the second hand stopped sweeping. The watch still keeps perfect time, however, the second hand will only sweep when you shake it, only then will it sweep for about 15 seconds before stopping again. What do I do? Buy another one? Thanks, Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owens Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I promise mine was a help plea not an excuse for another watch! I just bought the thing for crying out loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 hhmmm well Nanuq probably threw his off the roof of his house in hopes to add more wear and tear to the case and enhance the "vintage" look As for your noob.. the second hand is still attached, but stops after 15 seconds.. yet it still keeps perfect time? I would suspect a gear knocked out of place or broken. Is it an Asian movement or ETA movement? If its an asian then it might just be cheaper to buy a new watch for $100 and sell the one you have for parts. Someone will buy it for the dial and bracelet no problem. If you have a replica-friendly watchmaker in your area then he can have a look at it.. If its ETA then its probably worth fixing. Maybe The Zigmeister has an answer for you, afterall hes our resident watch master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratedzeus Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ah no worry. Get a new movement (10-15$). Reglue bezel insert (do not glue bezel to the case/crystal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hey Nanuq, you forgot the stove pic. It's better to warm up the watch properly... before driving over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
