Second hand broken!!

[Biwig]

Hi, new to forum, was wondering if anyone might know about this problem? I have a Presidents Rolex circa 1990 that was serviced by Rolex 3 years ago and now the second hand only goes in a circle when watch is flat, if u are wearing it let's say second hand at 4, will turn till it gets to 9 then fall back to 6 then go back to 9 and fall again to 6, doesn't have the strength to make it to 12! It keeps good time though. I got a Versa watch winder about 2 month ago wondering if going front and back screwed it up other winder was clockwise only. Appreciate any help Paul

Most likely the second hand just needs to be tightened into the dial. Get it to a RSC asap. Likely won't cost too much if it just needs a tightening and not a full service (full services are like $600 usd). You should be fine though, in the mean time lay it on a flat surface, do not put it in the watch winder as you risk doing further damage to the hand/dial.

Hands are only a friction fit pushed on the hand stack so perhaps it just needs re-setting on the hand stack or needs replacing as it worn.
