Seiko automatic chronograph 8R46 strange operation


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I have a Seiko SRQ037J1 watch with 8R46/48 (SII NE86/88) movement.

It produces the following error:
Main spring at 100%, but balance wheel not working (crown in standard position). Running seconds hand does not move.
If i start the chronograph function (pushing right upper button), balance wheel starts to work! (Second hand and chronograph second hand also moving!)
If i stop the chronograph, balance wheel also stopped (and this can be repeated).

(Otherwise, if i start the chronograph function, the watch will run for 42+ hours as long as the main spring lasts!)

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

Thank you very much for help!
