Hello, I have a problem with the second hand on my chrono. When I reset it, it does not come back at 12 o'clock. I changed it by hand, I also removed and handed the needle at 12 o'clock. I also try holding the button at the top and pressing the button at the bottom. ... nothing works. How to do?!

Have you tried pulling the crown out and pressing both buttons until the hand spins round then press the top button this will advance the chrono secondhand one second at a time repeat until the hand lines up with twelve press the bottom button again and the other hands can be adjusted in the same fashion then push the crown back in once every thing is in sync.

If you have tried this are you sure the hands are seated correctly on the pivots ?

Reset is a sudden move back to zero( indicator is at hour 12)  of stop the watch function.

You shouldn,t worry the fault is not in the movement, rather the hand.

If you want to try fixing it yourself, 

Remove the stop watch hand. Reset to zero. Smear nano amount of glue on arbor the hand goes on, install hand at zero. Let glue dry well before reuse.

If it didn,t work enjoy your watch as is.

Regards joe

      You often see the term used on old watch part boxes.  Staffs for bracelet watches, timing washers for bracelet wstches etc.

      The Boro has changed quite a lot over the last 20 years, and not for the better. I actually moved out of the town 15 years ago to a small village not far away. Thanks for the pdf! Looks a great read. I'll get it printed today and put it on my work bench!

      Not having all the fancy equipment, this is a way I came up with. I never said it was the best, the most ideal or the safest way. Working on balances is always a delicate task whereby full concentration & common sense should prevail. I was well aware of the "dangers" / short comings involved, hence my "warnings", as quoted above. The balance wheel of the Omega was nice true, flat and one could clearly see how much gap there was left before the grinding wheel would touch the balance wheel. I stopped when the generously applied diamond paste started to touch the rim of the balance wheel, which turned out to be with a seat thickness left of 0.1mm. Tapping the remainder of the staff out went easy and flawless. My idea of penning this article was to show/share a way which, in my case, perfectly succeeded. If deemed to risky, or if the balance wheel is not true or has a wobble, other methods have to be followed.

      I loved his explanation of a teardown 😅 Ex military Richard Perrett, pretty knowledgeable guy.

      I also see a bit of danger for the wheel, at least you have to keep away from it and may get a too thick rest ring. My rest rings are about 0.05 mm. Better way would be a grinding wheel touching the staff with its circumference. Frank
