  • This video guide showing how to recalibrate the chronograph function is suitable for modern quartz chronographs with the 1/10 second subdial at the 6 o'clock position
    For watches with the 1/10th second subdial at the 2 o'clock position the method is different to this.

    Is so easy to do once somebody shows you how. I had two watches that came from a factory in that condition and I thought I was going to have to pay a watchmaker or Jeweler to straighten it out. So this video probably save me a bunch of money. Thanks!

  • @ageingungracefullypushingt7135

    Hi , thanks to you i was able to fix the stopwatch seconds hand which was misaligned and reseted to 5 seconds after 00 seconds, for me i started the watch and alligned the second hand to its proper position, then i stopped the stopwatch, i pulled the stem out, presed button a and b for 2 seconds and pushed the stem back in , and then i just tested it out and it works like a charm, my watch is the omega moonswatch quartz

    I dont know if my tag heuer needs to change battery or what but when you pres the a buttom to start the meter wont move just tiking kn place. And of you try to reaset same thing happens. But if you press both down only the minute timer is moving and ypu can only change the posittion of that? Tryed everything

  • @jazzdrumguy5044
    @jazzdrumguy5044 Před rokem +1

    This worked on my Tag SE/L, but I have a Tag Formula 1. If you pull the crown out all the way, nothing happens with the double buttons. You have to unscrew it and only pull it out one click. Then the double button trick works. The top button then moves the small upper 1/10 second dial, then the bottom button moves the large second hand. But I can't get the upper left subdial (minutes) to move. It won't work in any crown position.....any tips, please? Thanks.

    • @marcoac14
      @marcoac14 Před rokem

      Pull the crown out two times (all the way) and then do the double button trick. That should get the minute dial spinning non-stop then use the upper button to dial it to 30 min position.

      @allnighter2011 Před 3 lety +1

      @@johnwatkins3824 I have the same one in the video (just different color) and its pretty reliable. I use it as my daily driver for the past 5 years.. most comfortable bracelet i have ever tried... very rugged and reliable workhorse... accurate time... had to change the battery only once after 4 years of use... i did some reading back then and I believe Swiss ETA and Swiss Ronda are comparable in reliability and time keeping for the quartz movement... also if I recall correctly some Tag models do have ETA... the real comment I always hear isn't on the ETA vs Ronda, but rather why would anyone spend close to $2,000 on a quartz rather than mechanical... and in many ways that's true.. although I do appreciate Tag's workmanship and finish, flawless.

    • @johnwatkins3824
      @johnwatkins3824 Před 3 lety

      allnighter2011 in most cases people opt for the quartz for various reasons. They always keep better time but the greatest problem is any kind of shock or drop can seriously damage it. I had 1 gentleman who had his automatic serviced. He was back 8 weeks later and the watch had a few issues. Upon repairing and returning his watch I asked if he played tennis or golf while wearing in an attempt to figure out what was causing the problem. Finally I asked “what do you do for a living?” To which he responded “bugger all I just sit in a truck for 12-15hrs a day”. Then it became clear what was causing the problem. I found out that he keeps his hand on the gear stick the whole time. Location is Australia so the gear stick is on the left shaking the crap out of his watch for 12-15hrs a day. I personally prefer mechanical watches. However when customers ask me what is the best watch I can get? My answer is always the same. Buy the one that serves your needs the best based upon how you are going to use it. No point in buying a sea dweller if all your going to do is walk around the golf course. Although I’m sure there are many individuals that do.

    • @simonf2414
      @simonf2414 Před 6 lety

      For automatic watches you can't re-calibrate them yourself. It would need to go to a watch service center to determine the broken parts

    • @michaelmadsen2268
      @michaelmadsen2268 Před 6 lety

    • @simonf2414

      Michael Madsen if you push the button and nothing happens then it's definitely broken parts. Take it to a watchmaker to open it up and look
