5167 // 324 question

[lovej]

Hey guys;

Been away from my 5167 for a few months and noticed when I wound it; that if I wound cw half a turn then acw half a turn when I would wind cw the clutch would take a at least half a turn to engage the winding mechanism again. I thought it was instantaneous.

Sorry if it's difficult to follow.

Is this normal on this movement, I don't remember it being like that?!

I don't know for sure, but it sounds reasonable to me. If you turn acw it will halt the seconds hand, so maybe disengages the clutch as well. Just guessing.

Mine does that and I didnt consider this out of the ordinary, but its a good question to which I have no definitive answer

I have never had a calibre that had reacted like this; any who; sounds normal per se!

I had the very same issue, when I had it looked at and fixed I was told there was missing/not sufficient lubricant. I haven't had any issue or slipping since.

Well that is very interesting. Let me follow up with the ad
