I have a 1985 automatic Rolex tudor. I noticed that I can have the minute hand line right up with the minute marker, and like twenty minutes later it is off. I tried backing up the hands to take up the slack and it still happens. Can anyone tell me what could be doing this.
Thanks,Ken

Hey Biddahfihd - don't be a wuss. People are trying to help you on little information. You are not providing much for people to help you.

maybe hands need to be re-calibrated by a watchmaker - should be a quick job

The minute hand moves smoothly and continuously...it only exactly lines up with a minute marker once per minute.

I'm probably misunderstanding the OP's question, though...

Never seen somebody give up on the forum after one response

No great loss. He posted identical questions about accuracy a week ago, here and in the technical forum. I gave what I thought was a reasonable answer, considering his description was vague, and got not even a thanks for my trouble.
