Hey,
Got a bit of an odd quirk with the seconds hand on my Borealis Scorpionfish.
When the mainspring is totally unwound, and it's been sitting in my watch box for a day or two, hand winding the movement does not start the seconds hand moving - even after 6 or 7 rotations.
Instead, to get it working, I pull the movement out to either the date setting or, sometimes, the time setting mode (which engages hacking seconds).
Once I've done that and pushed the crown back in, the seconds hand works perfectly.
Any idea if this is something I should be concerned about or is it just a quirk of the crown stem action given how far the screwdown crown moves??
Cheers.
