GMT-IIc Problem?

I was changing time zones a few days ago and was resetting my watch and I noticed that my hour hand does not "jump" anymore.
It will just turn in a fluid motion.

It is still keeping great time and not a hiccup at all until this.
I let it wind down and stop, then full rewind.....no effect.
I pulled the head back and forth (in/out) several times......no effect.

Dallas RSC said to bring/send it in and they will look at it.

Anyone else have the same issue?

I just checked mine and it still jumps. Only 6 weeks old but I do not change time zones often.

How often do you change time zones? Not that, that should matter as this watch should still function properly.

Let us know what happens.

I change it about twice a week.

Am going to drop by Dallas RSC next week and let them look inside.

Yeah, you def. should have the hourly "jump" on your watch. If it's not working, seek out the nearest Rolex-certified watchmaker or RSC in your vicinity.

Does it turn in a fluid motion along with the minute hand by the way? Or by its own?
