Default Sport Chrono Clock : Broken hands

The little white hands in the hr/min dial. One swings limp/loose and one is gone?
How to repair?
Thanks

Never heard about one of these breaking before. Probably have to take it out and submit it to a speedo shop for repair. IF, it can be repaired. My guess is you would best be served with buying a new one and arranging a core-exchange.

Most worthless forced option ever.
The old hands probably broke because once they were started, someone lost interest and just let the damm thing run..
Save the cost of repairs and glue a picture of a working set of hands in the bezel ...you'll never miss it.

This happened to mine too. Went to the stealership, and they want 895 canadian to replace the whole assembly.

Has anyone successfully disassembled the sport chrono clock to repair the little white hands?

The white arrow hangs strait down and swings freely. G Force meter!

I don't have this option so I am surprised with comments re uselessness of sports chrono. Do you not use it on the track or just measure your 0-60 in various conditions, etc?

Weird that this thread came about this week, just a few days ago I used my chrono for the first time just to see if it even still worked...it did. I'll never use it again, looks nice though.
