PRS-18-Q COSC - something amiss
Just noticed an issue with my PRS-18-Q COSC.
The seconds hand is not progressing at all, just sticking in the same place. It appears to be ticking (you can see the seconds hand moving) but just not advancing. I have replaced the battery, but still the same.
Not sure if this video will work, but let me try:

Has anyone seen the same?

I had the same thing in a non cosc one. Asked Eddie. Thought was that the hand needed a little squeeze to tighten it up.
I didn’t bother and sold for spares on eBay. This was about six - seven years ago

Magnetism,?
Possibly as much as a year ago whilst working on my laptop I put the watch next to the computer, the hands of the watch stopped, I moved the watch away from the laptop and it started again, I repeated this two or three times, with the same result, sorry just remembered this.
I don’t think is magnetism - it’s been doing nothing but sitting on my desk, in my “pile” of spare watches. None of the others seem affected.

Cheers.
I believe the case of the COSC version has different dimensions, so I’ve ordered the non thermo-compensated 111 movement which should hopefully drop in.
If I read it correctly, the ETA website states that production of the 411 was halted at the end of Jan and has been replaced by the 412, though sadly Cousins list neither.
