I just got a nice sport model Tissot with retrograde subdials and the ETA G15-26 6J movement. I put a new 394 battery in it, set all of the hands. When I click the chrono button, the chrono hand either jerks back and forth or runs backwards. I can reset it to 12 with no problems. Are there any repair suggestions other than buy a movement for it? Steve

I figured it out. This is a new one on me. It is supposed to run backwards! I found a manual online and the retrograde model is supposed to have the chrono hand set at the 45 mark, and it runs CCW to the 15 mark then quickly reverses back to the 45 mark. There are even 0 to 30 marks in an inner dial ring, running from 45 to 15. Very odd to have a retrograde second hand.

It still has an issue though, in that the hand sometimes falters and jerks back and forth then resumes its counting,but is then off time and has to have a hand reset done again. Steve

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
