    Well... I am a true newbie.. a budding glutton for all thing that move! So please do show grace if I come off a bit elementary! ;)

    Constellation 1330 Quartz (Date):
    Hour hand is not keeping up - Advances about every 4 hours - Mins and Secs run perfectly.
    I can set the watch with no problems (functions as it should when setting)
    I just purchased the watch and the stem was not tight in the crown... It appear to also be a little short.... I applied epoxy to the threads and bottomed it into the crown, then backed it out 1 turn (in case it was to short)... Still no joy.
    The keyless works is holding perfectly also.

    Looking for some ideas?

    I am also looking for a 1340-9400 motor for another project!
    Thanks for any guidance!

    UPDATE:
    Well interestingly I decided to pull the crown (as if to set the hours) and leave it out - no the hours are advancing properly... I am very confused now???

    UPDATE:
    Well after further investigation I have discovered the Yoke broke.
    It appears that the clutch was staying engaged because of lack of spring.

    You need a new setting lever jumper - 72213329105. Still available from Omega.

    Cheers, Al
