Explorer ii problem.

[samuelhuntington]

Hi everyone. I have a explorer ii 16570 random serial with the 3186 movement. This watch was purchased from ad in July of 2011.

I was just setting the time after about two weeks of non use and when I had the crown in the second position, where just the hour hand jumps in one hour increments, when the hour hand stopped jumping and started moving smoothly. I moved the crown in and out of its different positions and the hour hand no longer moves in one hour increments like it should. The date still changes when it goes past 12 but I fear something is broken.

Has this happened to anyone? Do you think rolex will give me a break since its only 6 months after the warranty ended or am I looking at a full service? I know I'll just have to send it in but if anyone has any experience with this I would love to hear. Thanks so much
