Hi all, a follow up on this subject: I got another watch w/ this type of click. It was much nicer in quality, and very clean. I took a dental pick and pulled the click away from the gear. It stayed open for a second before returning. I pulled it back and forth a few times. It worked fine like any other good click mechanism. My conclusion: a) i was working w/ inferior movements so the fabrication was not as precise, and b) the other movements were very dirty (they looked like they needed a bath), and the click spring was gummed up. I am afraid that as a newb I must re-invent the wheel at each stage. I need to learn to ask better questions in order to get past this. Thanks all for the help. stay well……………b
