·Update on the Monaco cal 11 glitch.
TAG head honcho at the workshop said the sub seconds should not jump when reset. Its not right she said.
I heard it straight from the horses mouth.

Regardless, it should not skip, mine don't. But I wonder if this behavior is intrinsic to certain batches of the movement, or if it's an ETA vs. Sellita thing?

·Wonder why they sent it back to you unfixed then?

You guys knew what I was talking about when I explained it yet they couldn’t follow my explanation.
Anyway I politely dug my heals in until she said she would get the head of workshop office to contact me.
I sent a video of it to her. A slow motion one and a real time one.
I will let you know her explanation if there is one.
To be continued......

·Since it only jumps when you have the chrono hand stopped between 35 and 45, I suspect this might be the first time this issue has been raised to TAG Heuer. It's probably super rare that anyone would have stopped the chrono at that exact spot and then stared at the seconds hand to notice it jump.

I had to look hard at your video to figure out what you were initially talking about. I also stared hard at my watches when recreating your test condition. Otherwise, I wouldn't have noticed in a million years.

·I work with fine detail being a joiner/carpenter. I get anal about measurements and tools doing their job properly or how they were intended.
Maybe I should forget about it and become liberated.

·Sounds like mechanical watches might be something that will eventually create some anxiety for you now and then! Old mechanical tech that sort of keeps precise time, isch 😜

·Well at least they are going to look into it, rather than the “they all do that Sir” comment the motor trade are infamous for, allegedly.

·Is it only SM Monaco or all other Monaco too ? I used to own a Monaco (not the SM one of course). Don't remember about having a problem except the sub dial doesn't reset exactly to zero. I sent it toTH service and they got it done for about 3 weeks.

·Thx for the info. My sundials all line up, guess I got that going for me
Decided to do the same as you.
Fed up of having it and not being able to wear it because it was being posted here there and everywhere.
A bit like Andy Warhol not setting the time on his Cartier Tank.
These beautiful luxury items aren’t for telling time. They’re just f**king cool!
