I was setting the time on my Explorer this morning and when I pushed the crown in it failed to release the hand movement. Tried several times and screwed the crown back in but now the movement won't wind. Just hand movement.

Anyone had this happen before?

I have never had that happen. How old is the watch - perhaps it's time to be serviced?

At any rate it sounds like you will be getting it serviced sooner rather than later - sorry.

Mine also has similar issue, sometimes after it's stopped and I unscrew the crown and start winding in 1st position for example 20 time the watch doesn't start, then I have to take crown to 2nd position and change time and then when I take it back to 1st position the second hand starts.

Anyone know if I should be concerned or is this normal

2010 so not unreasonable to go for service. Was going to send my 1999 Explorer II but I guess that's going to have to wait till next year now.

I’ve never had this happen. Sounds like it’s time for a service. At 10 years, that’s to be expected, so while perhaps inconvenient and unplanned, like you said, this is reasonable. Sorry to hear this though. It’s a bummer for sure.

Anything can fail at any moment.
Sounds like service time.
