3126 (or my 26237) feature?
Please look at 2 pictures of my 26237 made today:
1) 11:27 AM (the minute hand is exactly on 27 minute mark when the second hand is on the 60 mark); 2) 3:27 PM (the minute hand is between 26 and 27 minute marks when the second hand is on the 60 mark). How to explain it?? PS: I know it is not Rolex, it is just AP, so I am not looking for quality I only want to know the technical reason for this issue. Thanks! |

To me it just looks like the angle from which the picture is taken is making it look like the hand is in between 26 and 27. Just my thoughts. Also - LOVE that 26237

No, it's not due to angle. I noticed this feature long ago. If I set the minute hand exactly to one mark it will be between the other marks soon. What I mean? I set it exactly to 27, but it could be not exactly on 46 this hour for example and in an hour it will be not on 27 but on 38 for example and I can't guess why. On my 15500 everything is ok.

There are a few gears running these hands.
I would suggest a little slack in the train? This is not unusual.

Is the first picture right after you set the watch? I’ve had this happen that when I set the watch the minute hand is right on the minute marker but then later it drifts off. If this is the case then the way I fixed it is to move the minute hand backwards when setting the time.

No. The same situation could be any time (not only right after I set the watch).
