Rolex Explorer II Question
I have a 2017 Explorer 2 which keeps excellent time. However, recently the hour hand loses an hour or more while the minute hand maintains perfect time. Anybody experience this?

Any changes in how the hour hand fast setting feels? Because this sounds like the spring on your gmt wheel is broken.

Fast setting of hour hand feels and looks normal. In fact, I fast set it 24 hrs. clockwise looking for anomalies but the hour hand changed crisply each hour. Could I have caused some damage by fast setting it once counter-clockwise?
Appreciate your input. |

It sounds like you'll need a service, if the spring is broken doesn't really matter since it's included in the cost anyway like most parts that are susceptible to wear. |

After fast setting it forward 24 hrs.2 days ago, the hour hand is advancing normally. If it happens again, it goes in for service.
Thanks for your inputs. |

Keep an eye on it and if it happens again, off to the RSC.

I quick jump backwards my hour hands on my 3285s all the time. That's totally fine.
