Hey everyone. Hoping to get some insight on this. So I purchased a new AT 8900 from my AD two weeks ago. Whenever I hack it and push the crown back in, the minute hand moves slightly ahead. Never had this happen in a watch before. Anyone else seen this happen? Thinking it may be due to tight tolerances in the handset but any help would be appreciated as always.
I have seen that happen in many automatic movements. When you are pushing the crown back in it might not be a straight push down. Maybe the crown moves a little bit to the side and so does the hand.
Sounds like setting accuracies may be challenging if it acts like this. Does the AD have any options on this?
Have you tried pulling the crown out moving the hands to 5 minutes ahead and then winding it back to the correct time before pushing the crown in? It works for me on some of my cheap beater watches.
It's just gear slack. I guess the amount varies by movement. I don't really notice it on my Omega 9904 but it was definitely there on my 3603.
