Re: Fully wound Speedmaster Issue

Good evening,

Nobody knows what might be up with this movement after a full wind?

Is it very unusual? The watch is keeping good time but is still chucking a wobbler when fully wound. Moving the crown anti-clockwise for half a turn stops the erratic action and I'm happy to do this in the short term.

I'd be most interested to know if anyone else has seen this happen. I've used the search function here but can't find anything about this specific issue.

Thanks,

Stu
