If that fails, only thing left is to live with it or have it serviced.
Yeah it was serviced by Watchfinder supposedly at the beginning of the year.
Might live with it, chronograph running. I like the hand sweeping round anyway
Thanks for the tips. It isn’t magnetised at the moment but when it is i will try your method

Oh no!
Something bad happened.
I had the crown in position 2 and pushed the start/stop pusher on chronograph so I could see the running seconds better.

Think the winding pin is bent or something worse. The hour hand moves on its own like a gmt and the date moves at the same time then etc
The time is set properly now but it’s off to the menders I think.
It mainly slips every few turns when winding clockwise on setting the time.

I found in my experience and also read somewhere that you really need to give the CH02 a good wind 👍
80 hours just won’t be possible without some good push 😉

Any idea how many turns are needed to fully wind up the H02?

Sorry, I haven’t really counted it. Most of the time, I just leave my CH02 in the wrist for 1-2 hours before I adjust the time. I always have my iPhone for my “time” purposes 😁 It’s just wearing a TAG Heuer chrono makes me feel good and indirectly tells others, I’m a car/motorsport guy 😉

The horse has bolted now.
I’m going to have it repaired by tag and sell it.

I wear my chronograph to show people I don’t have a clue.

It all works fine if I set the time by turning the crown anti clockwise. Just slips a little now when I turn it clockwise.
Gutted!

I like your way of "warm" the movement of the H02. I use the same method too. With automatic watch and with weekend car. Of course i don't warm the engine of the car for one or two hours. But i wouldn't step on the gas directly when i just turn on the engine.

You got it sir @OttoWilliam 👍

A little warm up wouldn’t be so bad especially for finer things in life like mechanical watches & sports cars 😉

I used the term weekend car just to sound cool. I don't own any sport car truth be told 👎...

😁

well back to watch topic, i haven't test this theory, but i think manual watch might be more durable and less maintenance cost compare to automatic one.

I’m just trying to retrace my steps and I did give it a good wind before breaking it.
So don’t let this method of winding it first lead you to think the pusher can’t be used to mangle the movement. I do have a touch like a blacksmith at times. Not ladies hands but that’s just Neanderthal me.

Speedy or just wind and wear watches in future for me.

I once went out for a test run with a customer in his car(Honda) to identify a fault, he nailed from cold and when it reached vtec crossover point it was like hitting a brick wall as it wouldn’t engage, I explained the oil needs to be at correct temp to operate, disgruntled he agreed his was then ‘ok’, word was passed around not to buy in a car from him as he was a bit “mechanically inconsiderate”

Sorry to hear about this, must feel horrible having just gotten the watch. I would never think to engage the chrono with the crown pulled out. Now I know never ever to do that!

On the bright side, while in for repair you can also have them adjust the movement so it doesn't lose as much time.

Yeah thanks, I’ll have it serviced and kill 2 birds with one stone. Get a year warranty from tag on it. And decide whether I can afford to own 3 luxury watches.
I was rushing and multi tasking with my five year old. Forgot I had left the crown pulled out.
I demagnetised it the way you suggested too.
It does still work but I know it’s not right.
The tag official service price is for 2017 and the 02 movement isn’t listed although all the pictures show the exploded 02 movement.

Sent it off to the menders.
Even they don’t know how much a service is on an 02 movement.
I should know in a few days.
£520 at least my guess is.
