Watch losing time at a specific minute mark


Recommended Posts

I have a watch that is timing fairly well on the timegrapher however the minute hand slows to a near stop when it reaches the 31 minute mark.  I know the amplitude could be higher and the beat error could be a little less however I’m not sure what is happening with the minute hand.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

  If the movement is cased ( as in the picture) minute hand might be rubbing on the glass, otherwise clean and inspect all parts mentioned above.

So this happens once every minute, simply remove the minute hand ( the hand that goes round once every minute) this is a simple  process of elimination.

In case the issue persists, the fault is within the minute train and/ or date jumper.

it would be nice to have background story? In other words you found this watch laying on the street and tossed it on your timing machine or you recently service this watch or what what's the background story of the watch?

Then one position timekeeping on the timing machine is not quite worthless but almost. Why don't you give us another picture crown down position just because. also the graphical display doesn't look quite as nice as it should be looking when was the last time the watch was serviced?

    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?  
    • Does anyone knows what size case a need for a dial diameter 20.60mm?
    • Sounds like the story with my Rolex. Poor (expensive) job done by an official Rolex dealer with an "in-house" watchmaker, hence I learned watchrepair and did the servicing myself. Same story as I learned with the Omega 861, again poor job by an "in-house" watchmaker by an official Omega dealer. Once your watch goes through that back-door, you have no idea what is going to happening to it 🫣   Quite nice that they sent back the parts which had been replaced !
    • yes that's definitely not right at all. I have a picture one of my friends has a Omega coaxial there was having issues to lose asking me where he should send it. As that's a specialty watch I suggested the service center. When he got it back he sent me a picture so the replace the dial as you can see the hands the mainspring barrel and I think the price was really quite decent considering all the stuff they can replace. So I do know they do change the barrels but the other person I worked at the service center when I would ask questions and unfortunately I can't remember all the answers. I think a lot of the changing a parts is at the discretion of the watchmaker. Plus I don't know enough about the chronographs and whether that would be considered a vintage watch? I take some of the vintage watches may have been sent directly to Switzerland or another service center. Obviously with a watch like the one down below they probably have a infinite supply of parts is its relatively modern vintage stuff becomes more interesting even the watch companies don't have necessarily infinite supply of parts. But no matter what the watch shouldn't disintegrated six months that's definitely an issue.
