Hi everyone,

I'm new to this group but have been watching with interest Marks videos for some time.I'm 65 and am a bit of a watch fan, in a modest way.

I bought a Tag Heuer Aquagraph from e-bay and it is running extremely fast, and when I say extremely 5mins an hour! The piggy back chrono is running similarly fast too.

Any advise would be helpful, was wondering if it may have been magnetised even or do you guys think it just needs a full service.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks 

Baz

Welcome to the forum Baz.

Magnetization is one of many causes of fast running. Wrong or short hairspring fitted on, is another possibility. We just can,t be sure. 

Disclose the caliber, post pix of the movement helps those who may, like me, be unfamiliar with the piece.  

Best

      Blew it with a coil

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep, i pulled that up as well when i was looking,  there is definitely parts out there if you are prepared to go out and find them.  I watched that video years ago, I'm not so sure about probing the coil like that. If you are going to touch the coil use the side of the probe or at least shape a nice round end to it.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi. In the picture not only does it depict that the wheel is bent but also the plate or is that due to th angle of the picture.  Already received very good advise so I will butt out.
