·I recently purchased an attractive 1978 DayDate quartz watch with a 1345 movement. When I took it out of the box I noticed the seconds hand was 'pulsating' back and forward at 1 pulse per second. Upon playing around with setting the time, the hand started moving normally. It ran successfully for about half an hour before the second hand jammed again at 35s. Replaced the battery and the issue happened again - it jammed at 3 seconds.
It's a lovely watch and I'd like to keep it, but if parts for the movement aren't availble, like the stepper motor may not be available.
Any thoughts as to what the issue may be and how it could be resolved.
