Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere. I haven't been able to find anything by searching...
I have a one-month old watch with the A2824 movement. It's running about 5 seconds fast per day, so me, being fussy, wants to dial it back a bit. When I try to turn the eccentric screw in either direction, it won't move (it's currently dead centre), and if I apply any downward pressure at all on the screw, the hair spring stops moving. Once I give it a gentle nudge it gets going again and everything is fine.
Two questions:
- Is the screw meant to be difficult to turn?
- Is it a concern that the hair spring stops in this situation?
