Seconds hand stuck? 177g

[notreallyreplica]

Hi All,

I was wondering if this is something I can fix myself. I have next to no watch repair experience, however I am up to learning.

My 177g has the hour hand getting stuck on the small seconds. To be more accurate, when the hour hand must pass over the seconds hand, it grinds over it, and physically lifts up to pass, usually getting stuck.

The following mods have been done, but not by me:

- H2 cannon pinion - flattened, polished
- hands modded flush to the CP

Movement is the swan neck A6497 high beat.
Any chance I can just open the caseback and tweak a few things? Or is this significantly out of "noob" ability.

Cheers

just gotta slightly bend up the hour hand and the minute hand if needed to compensate. easy job

Very easy. use powderless gloves or finger cots when you do it though.

Open up the back, remove the movement, bend the hands slightly so they no longer get stuck on each other.
