Dear Sirs,

I own a beautiful Vintage Omega Genève Calibre 1012 and I have a problem setting the time clockwise. The watch runs great, if I pull the Crown to position 1 I'm able to change date in both directions, but with Crown in position two if I turn the Crown to move the hands clockwise there is a point when the hands stop moving and I start to hear a "tick" like some piece is missing a teeth, then I need to turn it counterclockwise (wich turns fine everytime) and begin again with the turn clockwise until it happens again in other place... Could somebody help me. What could be wrong? The movement looks like new...I think I'm the first person to open the caseback in these 40 years XD Thanks in advance.

 

Are you asking us to diagnose a problem with your watch, on the internet, with even a picture (not that one would help)?

 

Cannon pinion is not working properly (common on these watches), and yes teeth may be missing now that you have played with it. I would suggest stop trying to move the hands and get it to a watchmaker.

Cheers, Al

 

I´m sorry Dennis, you are right. Here are some pics.
Thanks for your fast response.
