The hour and minutes hand.... not moving.
So if the watch is ticking... seconds hand is tracking fine... and the main hands aren't moving... what could be culprit gents?
Oh I almost forgot.... the hands move/track fine when I'm setting it.
This is grandpa's watch again... so reguardless I'm eventually taking it in for service/cleaning... and I'll ge this problem fixed as well. It would be nice to know what I'm probably looking at though.
Thanks guys,

This is a easy fix and anyone who services the watch should not charge you extra for the fix.
The canon pinion is loose from wear, and during a service he should check the tention and make sure it is tight enough,
The process is simple, Pull the dial, lift the hour wheel, pull the canon pinion off, stick a small broch in the canon pinion, take side cutters to the side of the canon pinion and give it a little pinch, reassemble and your done.
Most watchmakes have a canon pinion tightener that works the same as well. Either way , it's a 1 minute fix.
Hope this helps. Mike.....
