My question is regarding a phenomenon I have noticed on only two occasions with my watch (SeMP ACC) It seems as if I have heard of a similar thing before, that someone termed "minute hand creep" or something like that, a problem peculiar to chronos and supposedly less common or eliminated in column wheel chronos. I don't know if what my watch has done is the same as this "creep" or something different like impending doom.
What I saw was this: when resetting the chrono, the minute hand (not minute counter) jumped back about 1 minute. I restarted the chrono, it jumped forward about half a minute. Stopped and reset, back another minute. Now my watch is 1 1/2 minutes slow. The first time this occured the time was around 10:58 PM, the second time weeks later at 7:58 PM,
I have only seen it twice, with a lot of chrono use. I don't know whether the time on the dial matters, but both times it was a couple minutes before the hour in the PM. I just tried it now 4:48 PM, perfect, no change in time setting.
