Spit-seconds function not working on ETA 251.262 quartz

[jj69]

Wow! Seriously? I've never seen the bottom long hand used for minutes like that. That means that the instructions that came with the watch are probably for a different ETA quartz movement. According to the instruction sheet, it appears the watch should function like a 7750 rattrapante. I ust wish I had the watch with me right now to test it.

It just goes to show that you can never trust these watch "manufacturers." :)

Thanks so much for you response. I've been pulling my hair out over this stupid quartz watch!
