The new owner of my C6 had a similar thing happen and it turned out to be the movement which was replaced under warranty.

Thanks Ferg, I'll find out in a week or so I guess! I'll post back what the diagnosis is.

Would be interesting to know.

Not going to happen. The Kingfisher is not likely to see a comeback anytime soon. The white was the slowest seller when available, yet seems to have developed a bit of cult status since it was discontinued. :?

The black dial was the most popular followed by blue.

No news yet, the watch is still at CW Towers. It will also be coming back re-cased, there was some corrosive looking marks on it so am swapping t out for a new one.

Well the watch is back home now. It has had the battery re-seated and this fixed the jumping issue. Battery confirmed as fully charged and I took the opportunity to get it re-cased. The watch looks stunning again. Could only be better if auto :silent:

Sorry to hear of the faults that have developed on what is a very decent quartz watch. As others have said, the cream face is unusual and somewhat understated. Re the second hand not aligning with the markers. My blue dial C6 does exactly the same thing and after two years it still irritates the hell out of me whenever I wear it because (a) it offends my sense of order (ok you might think this is a bit OCD but the thing should work as its designers and makers intended) and (b) CWL quality control either failed to pick up what is a very obvious calibration fault or there is a degree of indifference in allowing the watch to be shipped in the first place. Anyhow, that's my gripe. I hope you get your watch back in full working order and accurately calibrated.
Cheers

Well it is better, it hits all but one of the raised 5 min markers. It seems to miss more of the second marks in between.
