Help with my Tag Calibre 1969, second hand fine, others not so much...

[daveofedinburgh]

Hi all,

As per title my rep Tag (automatic) has stopped keeping time.

The second hand ticks away happily, but minute and hour hands either don't move at all, or keep time for a short period before stopping.

Minute and hour hands move smoothly when setting the time via the crown.

My Google-informed guess is that the cannon pinion is at fault, but then I know eff-all about watches (learning tho!).

No idea what the movement is, hence attaching a pic in case another RWIer can help...

Is it goosed, can I (economically) save it?

Please forgive me if I've been thick at all, I'm new here.

If I were you I'd use a ball of duct tape or if you have one a case back opener and open it up to see what movement is inside. Probably very inexpensive to buy a movement and have someone at the local mall remove the hands and swap them out. I had that done and the mall guy charged 10 bucks and the movement was probably 6 bucks or so. At the very least you can see what movement and see if there are instructions online to maybe reset the hands or movement. It's not often quartz movements malfunction. Not many here will be able to help without knowing what movement is inside.
