I have a sub 5513 from 1987. When i pull the crown all the way out, if i turn it slghtly in either direction the second hand will move (abt 5 sec increment) in the same direction...then it stays stationary as it should as i set the time.
Ive had the watch for almost a yr and this was never the case. Should i be worried?? Thanks.

I'm a beginner collector here, but for that I know I would be taking my watch down to my trusted repair shop for recommendation and expecting that they will want to keep it to put it back in order.

It's normal, don't worry.

Your 5513 should have caliber 1520, the sweep second hand is driven by an additional third wheel which drives the sweep second pinion, the movement you are seeing in the second hand is just the slack in the gear train. Nothing to worry about if the watch is functioning otherwise.

Normal for that caliber movement.

Mine recently had a rolex service and does it, so dont worry perfectly normal.

That's normal for many watches.

Thanks all. I dont recall my watch doing it before and just started noticing it. Thanks for putting my mind at ease!

Mines does that as well and watch runs perfect. All ok from my end.

Mine does exactly that as well. Not every single time, but much more often than not.
