Can the little plastic ring that you get with an Accucell be used as a spacer for other 394 batteries? I have loads of them. Also, is Paul doing Accutron re-phasing work, or only concentrating on other models? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is a short video of the chronograph stopping after less than a minute. After experimenting I find that the chronograph performs ok after a full manual wind, running for as long as you like, but then if you try it several hours later, even if the watch has been worn, it stops after a few minutes.

Lol that's the first time I've been brought up for NOT asking stupid questions (smile). My horological life has been problem free recently, happy to say. I have mostly 18thC pocket watches for a hobby but this Certina is my everyday watch. Will try to post a vid of the offending chronograph function. Thanks for for any advice.

I have a Certina DS2 Chronolympic with a Valjoux 234 movement. The watch functions well, keeping time to within a few seconds a day. But the chronometer stops after a few minutes (different amount each time) and this then stops the whole watch. So if I go to time something that will roughly take five minutes I look at the watch and the whole thing has ground to a halt after 1 or 2 Can anyone tell me if solving this would necessitate a complete service or is there a known solution that might be cheaper? Thank you. Ben

Wishing Paul a happy move and hope to see you up and running soon. My hesitant Hamilton 505 Nautilus and a dormant for 15 years spaceview may need your ministrations in the new year. Thanks, Ben
