    Hi guys,
    This ones for the watchmakers out there - I serviced my gold 176.007 with a 1040 caliber chronograph. It was all clean, came back together with oiling as per the service PDF's out there.

    It has an issue where when the chronograph is stopped and it sits in my safe, that the minute recorder hand (with the aeroplane) slips ocassionally, usually about 5 minutes over 24 hours.
    A reset, sends it back to proper 12 o'clock position.

    Is there a dial side eccentric adjuster or do I have a bit too much oil somewhere? It has been 2 years since I serviced it so I can't really remember the layout.

    It might be time for it to get another "bath" and get a clean, now that I have some higher spec oils and hopefully Lubetta for the reversers.
    Appreciate the tips.

    the clamps that hold onto the cannon pinion need to be firmly grabbing the minute recorder hand. If they are not grabbing it, then the recorder hand will get dragged along.
