Hi,
I seem to remember having the same sort of issue while working on a Bulova wristwatch a year ago. Does the watch seem too tight when you try to set the hands? Will the watch run and not stop without the hands and cannon pinion in place? My solution was to change cannon pinion which solved my issue. It also may be possible the dial itself could be a bit loose putting the dial train in a bit of a bind, had this happen on an accutron with broken dial foot once. I do remember posting what I found while working on the bulova here under “bulova 7ak” topic so if anything I mentioned seems similar you might look that up and see what Bob had to say back then. Will be interested in what you found.
