So I bought am awesome Astronaut yesterday. It was running great and keeping great time. So of course I like to see the condition of my Accutrons movements. I opened it up and the gasket stuck, and stretched a bit. I got it put back in the best I could. Slapped it all back together, and now I have a NON WORKING watch! Its still humming, but no hands move. Im stunned. I found at least one thread that stated the gasket could be my issue. Im having a hard time believing this though. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
Justin
Make certain the 'D' ring on the Crown is flush with the caseback, when the ring is lifted to adjust the Hands the Movement 'hacks' or stops.
If this is not the cure remove the battery before the Movement is damged and have it Serviced. After time the lubricating oils can dry out causing the Movement to freeze.
