try tapping it against your palm, most of the times that will do the trick

I had similar problem with my 111 when it arrived, asked Sead what to do and he told me to hit it to the palm few times with face down and it worked for me. Hope this helps.

tapped it down,sec hand goes from 45 to 50 then stops again..tapped again it goes around and stops at 45 again...

good thing is it runs smoothly now haha

went to watchsmith this morning to fix the hands..seems that he got fooled into thinking that my 217 is the real deal,bad thing is that he don't want to risk ruining the movement so he refused to fix it,wtf??

will find another watchsmith later
