I have this watch since maybe 3 years: Bought it new so it was it's first battery change...
I guess that it has been sleeping a while in the shop before I bought it because I had a very rare and special price.
The watch been working flawlessly the last 3 years.
Took it to my watch-maker today: He openend it and changed the battery in front of me.
Then it didn't want to set up as it should: The central second hand stop and reset at 59 seconds or 1 minute before 12 if you prefer and the half hour marker reset the same way: Just before the 30 markers.
My watch-maker said that it can happen: He tried to reset it by manipulating the crown and the pushers but nothing works. He poped the battery another time but nothing...
It's an electronic gear trouble apparently...???
He could demount it but the work-hours would be much more costy than the movement itself: A Ronda 5540B.
He been observing the same trouble on another chrono quartz once and even it's rare, it's a thing who apparently can show up...
F'cking quartz! Allready I wasn't any quartz guy but now I'm so done with this electric bullsh'tmad.gif
Here's the watch before:
And a quick shot after the battery change: Note the central second hand and the left half-hour count-down...
Both hands reset wrong on the left.
Morality: My next tricompax will be a Zenith Primero
