It retains its original plastic/crystal with Omega cipher in the centre

Always loved the f300 hummers, where did you get yours serviced? Tough finding guys who can work on them. Few pics of the ones I've collected over the years.

The sweeping second hand is memorizing. As for accuracy, 5 seconds a week slow is really good.

It sounds like the hands are loose on the cannon pinion or the pinon itself is loose/not seated.

Take it back to the watch maker.

Sorry misread. As G___ pointed out the most likely issues, definitely needs to get it back to the watchmaker.

it depends what country you are in Vinz, im in Sheffield England..and the repairer is Benjamin Redzia in Rotherham...I've got an Accufron Astronaut that's not humming and that one is going to a man called Alan Lazarus at Croydon Watch Repairs ..you have a very nice collection
