Hello all:

I have a 2924 movement that stops at 5:05 everyday and I was just wondering why that would be? Thanks for any help that I can get.

Eliminate the obvious first, are the hands fouling at all look under a loupe and observe them is the minute hand touching the hour marker and stopping the watch is there enough clearance between hour hand and minute hand. Has it been serviced recently ?

If hands are not the problem then the wheels underneath holding the hands might be problematic such as a bent or maybe broken gear tooth.

Since ETA 2924 doesn't exist I suppose we're talking about a 2825.

See if it stops without the minutes wheel.

      Thank you everyone for the advise! Now I have a working watch :). I started with the cannon pinion and made sure the minute hand moved (shown in pics). I continued adding every component one by one to make sure the hand moved. I think that was the problem originally: the cannon pinion disengaging somehow from the barrel wheel.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      And unfortunately, very convincingly so! It reminds me of travelling in Asia. When asking for directions, everyone points you in a specific direction, whether they have any real idea or not. It's not about trying to deceive you, but rather about avoiding the risk of disappointing you or creating an awkward atmosphere. In other words, the social interaction is prioritised over presenting the facts, which, in my example, would simply be the honest answer: "I have no idea, ask someone else." Either way, it's easy to be misled because AI is extremely competent in certain areas, which builds a strong sense of trust. That, in turn, leads to the mistaken assumption that its expertise is equally strong across all fields — which, as we can clearly see, it is not! @rehajm You never responded to the question I asked in this post. It would be very interesting and greatly appreciated if you could answer it or share your thoughts on it. Thank you!   I'm not sure I do. Perhaps I should have written: "Makes you wonder if the screwmaker for Rolex..."  I mean, we have to assume that Rolex stands behind every component in their movements, no matter who actually makes them, right? If I were responsible at Rolex and management forced me to accept screws that looked like they came from a bargain-bin watch, I’d probably quit on the spot. At the end of the day, you’ve got to be able to live with yourself and sleep at night. Anyway, isn't Rolex known to manufacture every single part of their watch, including producing the various alloys for them, in-house, at least since 2004?! Looking at the serial number, the Sea-Dweller I'm working on was manufactured in 1997, so good point, who knows who manufactured the screws!? That's also consistent with the colour of the hairspring, which in my case is not blue. So, reading the article you linked to "Rolex 3130 / 3135 MicroStella balance July 3, 2023", until recently, the super clones used a genuine balance assembly, and I would guess likely still do. Makes you wonder how they get hold of them?! Then again, we have the new super clones with free-sprung Breguet balances. Soon, it might be nearly impossible to tell the difference between a genuine Rolex and a fake one, huh? Couldn't the Swiss Air Force just bomb the Chinese super clone factories?! Problem solved!
