3135 movement Question
Hoping someone will be more knowledgeable than myself on this topic. I’ve recently swapped a 116610 for a newer and in much better shape 116610 and noticed some differences in the feel and function of the movement. For example the resistance when setting the time on the newer watch is noticeably stiffer than the older one. I’ve also noticed that when turning the crown counter-clockwise while setting the time it causes the second hand to twitch, it goes back to its original position once I release the crown. Also noticed that when turning the crown counter-clockwise the minute hand will move and then spring clockwise about a minute once I release the crown. It does not do either of these when turning clock-wise, albeit the resistance is firmer than the older 116610. Watch was very recently serviced by my local AD which is an authorized service center and is gaining roughly .5-1 s/d
My question - Is the above normal and does the resistance felt when setting time differ between all watches depending on how tight the cannon pinion is? If so how do you know when the cannon pinion is too tight to where it could cause issues? |
