I have one of these “jumping” minute hand timex’s which I believe is an M56. It started to work when I put a new battery in it and it clicks every minute, however the minute hand jumps approx 2 mins!! Anybody else had this problem or does anyone have any idea what’s causing it?

As I said check the minute hand is not loose.

If that's OK then check the magnet in the movement only flicks once per minute and does not bounce twice. 

If twice then a spring may be broken or pulled off.

      Informational universe.

      By Nucejoe · Posted

      I am sure you agree that,    " physical reality is actually made up of structured information "  which defines the states energy may  realize in prescribed  states.      Universe is committing suicide then most of its functions stops, but what we know as  gravitation remains, thus ( as he concludes)  gravitation proves of no essence  for actualization  previous functions universe used to work according to.   No doubt mathamtic systems man has deviced  is basic and not neccessarilty correct . But if universe is informational,  its also computational.   Then we have something thats has no essence and computation systems indicates it as virtual.

      Oh that is lovely, thank you. I also just cracked the crystal and lost one of the shock absorbers, so its gone in the separate baggy of 'maybe-one-day' 😄 I did learn the valuable lesson of not disassembling the shock absorbers. My next one is a Zaria 1509B. I think this one I'll take a bit more time with cause I'll need to source a couple of bits. It's also scary teeny.

      Elgin Grade 315: Runs/stops with dial down/up

      More data on the oscillation tests: Vertical: 15-20 seconds…Abysmal Dial up: 1 min 15-30 seconds Any thoughts @nevenbekriev @JohnR725? My next thought is to oil the balance jewels to see if that helps. It’s certainly one major thing left that I haven’t done.

      Hi. Once the pins have been withdrawn the brace let comes apart, never had a problem with these.
