Hour And Minute Hands Not Aligning

[aleksgavri]

To whomever can help,

 

I have just replaced the battery on my diesel watch (DZ-1513) and I have noticed that the minute hand and the hour hand are misaligned. It look as though the minute hand is 25-30 minutes too slow. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks, Aleks

Have no idea why that is? It happened to my Seiko . Because of the complexity of the Seiko my watchmaker fixed it . Your Diesel watch would be much easier to fix . Would not cost much to repair?

Willing to bet good money the movement was lifted off of the back of the dial partially while taking out movement frame/ fitting new battery, the front of the dial pushed on the underside of the hands and upset them, with any luck the hands just need removing and refitting in the correct position. best get a watchmaker who knows what they're doing though, even on fashion watches, dial/hand work is delicate and there are 100 potential problems you need to mindful of.
