This isn't looking good, the hour hand won't move, pulling the crown out all the way the hour hand won't move.

Sorry for the video, but its broken right ??

Something's amiss.
How it should work is pull out 1 click and hour hand only moves. Pull out 2 clicks and 24-hr + hour + minutes should move.

Doesn't look good... but hopefully something minor and easily fixed

Yeah, I looked it the same video to double check
It's differently broke

Sorry to see that - but since your date wheel is working you could prolly still set and use it this way, right?

Does it run normally?

mjclark32 · 19 November 2012, 10:22 PM

Something is definitely up... Is it still under warranty?

kilyung · 19 November 2012, 11:38 PM

I'm guessing the main train is ok as the second hand is typically driven directly off one of the gears of the train, while the minute and hour hands are indirectly driven off another wheel. I can't recall if the 3186 has a cannon pinion designed to slip when you set the watch. This drives the minute hand. The hour hand is connected via a set of gears to the minute hand. Since you're able to set the hands, I think the most likely problem is that the cannon pinion is just loose. Not a big deal but requires sending it in for service.

Had the exact same problem with my two year old gmt C. It's an easy fix for your local AD.

Roller07 · 20 November 2012, 12:58 AM

Nothing a good servicing won't fix

Hopefully its under warranty

z32turbo · 20 November 2012, 01:11 AM

Sorry to see that Mark, hopefully it gets a quick turnaround.

Htab · 20 November 2012, 02:23 AM

Doesn't look good my friend. Hopefully it's still under warranty.

Runnin' Rebel · 20 November 2012, 07:40 AM

No warranty, the hour hand just stays still. So no, I can't use it

EDIT: Just checked the warrant, it's good until April 2013. So it's all covered !!

Runnin' Rebel · 4 January 2013, 03:11 PM

GMT IIc back from Dallas, AD received it on 27 December, so that wasn't so long, less then 6 weeks turn around

77T · 4 January 2013, 04:17 PM

And running fine I gather?
Good and quick resolution!

htc8p · 4 January 2013, 05:26 PM

i cant see your video. but my gmt2c is also broken. my hour hand moved slowly or didnt move at all. and when you try to set the hour hand it was very loose.

and RSC Manila still say that they havent received the parts. so i still dont have it. at least they had the courtesy to not charge me.

Runnin' Rebel · 4 January 2013, 06:19 PM

Sounds like a recall is in order.

Bert, hope its fixed soon
