Question Hi, I have a Bulova watch and it was working fine until recently I noticed that the long, skinny hand is not working, it just won't move. Please if you have any idea on how to fix it, let me know. I appriciate it.
Thank You
Answer Francisco,
It could be as simple as it needs a new battery. That is the first thing to check.
If not that, it might have some dirt in the movement that is preventing the wheels from turning. That will be much more difficult to diagnose, so let's hope it is the battery.
If it doesn't have a battery, then its the latter.
