Hi guys. I recently sold a 1680 Red Sub to MrNemo and he has told me that there are two issues with it. He asked me to "ping" the forum as he can't do so himself at the moment.
The movement was tilted somewhat, and I believe it was my fault in that I didn't put the second screw down tab in there. He has an extra one and will fix that himself.
The main concern is that the seconds hand works, but the minute and hour hands don't keep time. He can advance them manually but it just doesn't work automatically. I told him that it could be the keyless works that I could have messed up when I took the crown out and then back in. Is that a possibility?
Anyway, I've offered to take it back and also pay for the return shipping if he doesn't want to deal with it. Otherwise, it's a nice looking watch from the exterior. ChuckP, the original owner, did a good job of vintagizing it. Perhaps it's an easy fix and he'll be happy with it when repaired or troubleshot.
What could be the problem?
