Hey Yama (and of course anyone else who knows about watches),
My wife's watch stopped working. I assumed it was a dead battery, but when I went to replace it I noticed that the hands don't move when I turn the crown. :cry: Is this an easy fix? How to I remove the crown to take out the movement (do I even need to do this)?

Thanks!
Dont bother fixing it. Its a cheap Japan Movement and is worth nothing.
Cheaper to replace. (you need a glass too)
dee the dimple encircled in red. that usually is the one you depress, something coming to a fine pt can do this. anyhoo with stem all the way in, depress this dimple and try to remove stem GENTLY if it doesnt remove, try pulling stem out to set time then repeating dimple thing. the other circle ive seen releases there too. but id try the red one first
(http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u360/gstwin/back.jpg) this will get movent to fall out if not careful. but youll have to swap the hands and face onto the new movt. appears to be a miyota, i MAY have one ill check.
agreed with cods here unfortunately. cost of miyota movts arent expensive but cost compared to a new or gently used watch is similar
Nice to see you yama, I missed you lol. :cheers:
had my eye on that casio dual sensor ( digital and analog watch) had an alimeter and barometer in it. yes im a geek :embarrassed: ( not meant as a slam toward geeks btw)
Wheres the link? I dont know about that one?

kinda neat tbh. seen a few on ebay, but prices similar to this one. its on the to get list before long when budget allows. to the OP, ill look and see through my parts watches tomorrow, and see if i have any working miyota movements of that size. if i find one that works its yours for actual postage.
here it is in black. see what i mean on prices.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=casio+dual+sensor+watch&_sacat=0 ive got a casio tough solar/atomic needing a capacitor i bought 6 years ago for $5 @ a yardsale/flea market. it was new enough i never sold it cause it was then bringing 200+ on ebay. but i didnt know whether it was hot or not
Thanks for the quick replies! I was hoping you'd say it was a simple matter of lubricating a gear, or something like that. Given that the movement appears shot, I agree with you both that a new watch makes more sense.
:cheers:

:cheers:
well you wont be able to get to the gears without taking the movt completely apart. time you get the tools to do so, and supplies. youve bought the watch 3 times. and this is quoted using the chinese tooling. which is ok. i bought second hand swiss tooling. hold on to that watch. ill see if i have the movt. if so, ill send the stem to it @ my cost. in an envelope. i seem to recall having one on hand. but am not sure. will check tomorrow @ shop.
Good choice beRto :thumb:
Nice watches Yama :thumb:
yeah i like these geeky watches. had a tv rc watch for a bit. was fun @ appliance stores when staff/sales was showing one to a customer. one day hope to have a NICE mechanical. ( talking upper tier. ( or upper mid tier)

( replaced cell in it a couple mos back. ) set digital time, analog hands will USUALLY set themselves
hey beRto, im assuming you DID pull crown/stem out to its second position to set time right?. well it may be only one position. since its sans date

Yup, I had pulled it out to second position and nothing. Actually, I found that the watch hands will move with the crown pushed in if you apply "sideways" pressure in just the right way. Trouble is the hands stop again a few minutes later. Obviously, the behaviour is not normal, so I still agree that the movement/watch is done for.
It's very kind of you to offer, but no need to worry about spare parts. This particular watch doesn't even have sentimental value, so it's not worth the trouble for you to look.

what you just described is par for movement death. ( or stem damage as well)

Hey cods, any idea where to get those mesh steel watch bands?, everywhere i look prices are insane. ( Well not HIgh high, but prices an install higher than most are willing to pay)
Without any shame of my blatant threadjacking... I have a Victorinox Startech 3000. How much would it cost to have a new crystal, band, and batteries installed. It was a great watch that suffered Iraq and was run over by a HMMWV causing a big gouge in the crystal. I've since broken the band and the batteries have died. Send me a good price and I'll send you some work :thumb:Thanks in advance
have pics of the battlewatch?, tbh not familiar with the model. but have a few vic. parts pieces in my horde. including crystals.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41nD-Ll844L.jpg) am assuming one like this?
looks like its 42mm in diameter. well the dial is. so crystal is close if not same. theres 2 batteries within. a cr series im thinking a 1216 ( about size of a dime) and one underneath smaller perhaps a 377 the smaller one is 1.5 volts while the cr batteries are 3v each. fossil does this as well. on their dual display watches. i always thought a 3v lithium can run a dual display with ease
Threadjack engaged ...

i figured since the original thread topic has been taken care of, instead of starting another watch thread , keep this one going. :cheers: thing got run over by one of these
(http://www.m201.de/hmmwv/Hmmwv.liste/m1025/m1025_2.jpg)
downside to band. its pretty much proprietary. meaning a universal fit wont work.
sourcing one shouldnt be difficult ( thinking ebay or wherever )
(http://www.watchbandsonline.com/swiss_army/09494.jpg) nothing on ebay atm. but 44.95 per google search.
i digress. there are a few on the bay atm. seeing if theres a parts watch ( good body/strap/crystal. bad movt.
That's exactly what ran it over (well, almost. "The" one was tan.) And I remember the the bands run between $25-$50. I just don't know about the crystal, which looking at it might not really need replaced. How does the back come off?
theres a pin driven from one side and out the other. band removed ( both sides, the back has 4 screws holding it on
personally .. i would do the batteries .. but leave the scratched face .. sure it looks a little tatty but it has battle hardened visual proof! .. thats street cred man! ... this thing survived a HMMWV! ...
..... what about an Abhrams?... reckon it'd still live!? hell yeah!.. well maybe .. well... possibly?... go "BATTLEWATCH" !!! :woohoo:
That watch has taken a serious beating - wow. I wish my wife's watches could stand up to that much abuse! Maybe the next one will need to be a Victorinox.
And the topic is still in the vein of watch problems for Yama, so it's all good! :cheers:
No problems since taking a couple links out of my Romex. I've been on the only watch kick i've ever had in my life. I'm liking it! haha
Had an old quicksilver watch around, the GF wanted to try making a paracord watch band;
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll129/steezin_and_wheezin/2012-09-08_20-01-54_566.jpg)
It came out great! fits perfect, tied with ~6' of paracord(neon green and black) and has a 3/8" black buckle.
If anyone is interested, we've been piecing together some and making them for friends. Been thinking of making some VT Hokie colors and trying to get rid of a few at tailgates and such.
put a battery into one of these today

can see the headline ... Local Rider Unhurt after Amazing Incident!
A Mr Yama Honkawonkakamikazeuki , a local watch repairman was involved in a surprising sequence of events that could have had serious consequences.
When asked about his experience post incident he said "well you know i just got my amazing new field&stream megasuperwokkawokka watch and i just cant stop looking at it on my wrist!, it's just soooooo awesome!... i was gazing at it lovingly while riding my motorcycle down the main street and the superb workmanship plus the little glints of lights >ting< it gives off just drew my attention for a brief 2 min period.. I seem to have veered off the road and into a shopfront at 70mph." ...
Bystanders were amazed as the police were once they attended the scene .. one man was heard to comment "yeah dude it was like totally amazing... this guy came racing down the street on his superbike and the whole time he was just looking down at his arm.. the bike like swerved through the middle of like 6 buses and a hotdog stand then hit the kerb and landed in the plate glass window over 30 feet away.. i'm just so stunned he suffered no injuries!".....
A police spokesman gave a short press conference a short time later at the scene to de-baffle the amazing lack of injuries to Mr Honkawonkakamikazeuki "We in law enforcement have no firm idea how this gentleman survived .. however after a brief check of my Twitter account after tweeting what happened earlier i may have received an explanation.. apparently this man purchased the amazing new field&stream megasuperwokkawokka watch and several other incident of this type have been recorded lately .. the reports seem to indicate that the 'total amazement & satisfaction' mental field generated by the owners brain actually levitates and shields them from actual physical damage! .. err a little like some of the X-Men so we are led to beleive" ...
This reporter attempted to gain a further statement from Mr Honkawonkakamikazeuki before he was taken to hospital for a no doubt brief visit as he certainly sustained zero injuries... however he had once again been distracted by the sheer manly beauty of his new watch and though i cannot be certain he appeared to actually be levitating 2" above the Ambulance gurney through the pure energy of his potentially reported 'total amazement & satisfaction' mental field.... he was heard sighing in contentment and mumbling what sounded like "sooooooooooo shiny!" ..
Certainly a big surprise for the locals today!.

I'll look and see if I still have my F&S watch. I'm pretty sure it's the same. I got it free when I bought a pistol at a gun show. I never wore it , bit remember thinking it was pretty nice for a "cheap/inexpensive/free" watch. I might have gave it to my brother but if not it's yours. I have too many already.
Called my brother... he says it's a great watch, he wears it all the time. Sorry, I'll keep am eye out at the shows, watches tend to be quite prevalent.

I love my marine star. Its just a clean cut solid watch. Also, this caravelle I picked up for a more dressy watch has been really nice for the cheaper price tag. It's really light and "goes" with everything.

The one watch I really really really want (besides this year's Daytona) is a old school LED with the red LEDs that stay lit. Kinda like the old dot matrix handheld video games. If anyone has a clue where to get one please tell.

Very close. But yeah, that style.
got one of these im working on atm
An old Citizen Quartz watch, having trouble getting it open to replace the battery. No tab for a screwdriver, no notches for the tool. I believe some may twist off, and I can see on the backside where the gasket is poking out a little bit, but I'm not sure how to get it open. Any tips from a pro before I go at it full force?

You should find the tab near where the band connects. I think you can see it in photo 2 on the left side bottom.
aye its a pop off. i use a knife near where band connects push in and turn knife. it will dig in and pop oiff back. NOW. once service is done. you may NOT be able to get back, back on. ( case press comes in handy. or know someone that has one)
now this is cool. been a while since ive had a russian wristwatch. unlike the cheap chinese stuff these are actualyl well made. some of the CN stuff is pretty good. but the russian or soviet era watches are great. not seena crappy one. except when trying to find spare parts to repair one. then it becomes a royal pain

I could have sworn there wasn't a recess, but it was just years of grime caked in there. Got it open, battery ordered.
Is there an easy way to snag a gasket for the back? It's dried and broken. Maybe a bead of RTV? :technical:
Yama - OOoo That reminds me ... I have another crop of watches ...
Well I better pay you for the last crop ...

batteries are avail. at walgreens. i buy mine in bulk but single batteries youre good to go there. can you post a pic of the battery? most common size is a 377. but yours may be different. or post a pic of the inside? anyhoo once replaced can try using thumbs and fingers to reclose it. many times this works. but many times ive got to use my case press. One of these , is what im referring to:(http://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_2388.jpg) when io took over hte business, i had a swiss press, most of the tools are swiss as well. got em cheap cause he just walked out. ;)
but the chinese stuff works too. i just like the swiss stuff. cause idk it works better on the pricier watches. or the better assembled stuff like your citizen now your o ring. you CAN do without it, but it kills the waterproffing/water resistance. so might as well replace it. just get the model number off the back of it. or if you want to go cheap, you CAN use a small rubber band ;)
finally picked up one of these. traded some of my broken watch stash @ shop for it.
but id rather trade it for something else. something different
this is what i have up for trade of anyone is interested:

Its a Felicia
So do you want my address for swapsies on the Miyoko Automatic or what?
am liking those miyokos as well. tbh have not heard much about them. im guessing by the looks, late 70's early 80s ? or between late 60's and late 70's? look to be in decent shape too.
Actually they are late 90s early 00s and are in fantastic shape :thumb:
They have the see through back too from memory. Should have looked when I photographed them

im game. but will take a while for me to come up wiht the postage. small flat rate international @ 16.95 this pay period is taken next one goes to doc, following one is open though. im sorry :technical: but thats the best i can do.
No problem. Send when you can
was wondering, can either one of these watches be retrofitted with a double butterfly clasp?, im kinda a fan of those.
im referring to one of these:
(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Double-Push-Button-Fold-Butterfly-Deployment-Watch-Bands-strap-Clasp-Buckle-K02-/00/s/NzUwWDc1MA==/$(KGrHqRHJCQE-dQs2DQ5BPyl0Cvrpg~~60_3.JPG) similar to these but this one is for a leather or croc or lizard strap. one im referring to is for hte metal bracelet
i had not heard of miyako to be honest but these look well made and solid. imho i like solid, and well made :). also a fan of gadgetry lol. but this is also what i liek simple. and as a fan of automatics thats another winner :cheers:
I am sure you can fit that type of clasp.
They are not expensive watches cost about $30 each so nothing fancy.
hell im a certified afro-engineer. ive modded links from one watchmaker to work on another. but the one i had shown wont work. because one end requires a pin to poke down into the leather/croc/some animal hide strap the double deployment clasps where the ends butt up to eachother. those would work
this is what i was referring to. or something similar
(http://www.precisiontimeco.com/media/Watches/Clasps/dcp_1.gif) idky why i just prefer them over the buckle style. i have a couple cheapies of them, and a copy of a breitling clasp as well. we shall see Eh? btw did the battery on your car led watch go out yet?, mine did the other day. course it was sitting on my bench. perhaps the sun did something to it. thats ok tho. ive got plenty of cr2016's to go around.
No my 2 are still going :thumb:
LMFAO i want i raised so much hell with these during my high school years. ( as well as walking through appliance stores)
the remote control watches
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-1990s-Casio-CMD-10-TV-VCR-Wrist-Remote-Control-Controller-Digital-Watch-/180985788702?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2a2397f91e
also looking for a first gen casio data-bank. had one as a child. why i want one i dont know. i guess its reliving my childhood i guess
Anybody have the slightest idea of a value for this? It's a bulova L5
(http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh634/Huff1371/2012-10-07_19-58-22_148.jpg)
gold, gold plate or filled? ( should be marked on case back)
I believe its filled, whatever that is. It has two small diamonds and it actually works perfectly.
well gold plate and gold filled are same thing. but gold filled is a thicker plate. hmm value-wise not sure. will look that up. cods may know before i can get back to you. before i can. but i'm assuming mechanical. aka windup. ladies watches usually less valuable than mens. because of size. the filling/plate looks like it is in decent shape though :thumb: but the missing? half of the bracelet? or it attaches there. ive used NAWCC (www.nawcc.org) modern stuff hardly ever find there. but older watches like this usually do. a wealth of information. i use it myself. site made of watch collectors. ( natl association of watch collectors) but when theyve not been able to help ive used ebay. Granted its not the greatest judge of value. But it tells a person what others are willing to pay for an item. ( or have paid for items such as this)
a wide range in prices here. but a worker helps it out greatly.
http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=bulova+l5&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc
http://www.ehow.com/facts_5979051_value-antique-bulova-watches.html
Look for a code on the back of the watch. Since 1948, Bulova watches have a two-number code on the back indicating the year the watch was made. Some have a letter and a number rather than two numbers, such as A9, meaning the watch was made in 1949 (see Resources for a complete list of number codes and the corresponding year).
the numbers/codes mentioned is this a=1940 ( starting with a8 1948. nothing before 48 with this code.b 1950 and onwards second digit is the year say b7 =1957
Awesome, so it's a 1955 vintage. And I actually have all the parts ( bracelet is just missing a pin) . It was given to my wife after a family member passed so we'll never get rid of it but I thought it'd be neat to know. Thanks for the info

love the luminox. hardly ever see them. have a few swiss army that are brain-dead. a word of advice. if the battery dies, remove it if youre not going to replace it. if it pops in case, the acid/nasty stuff can and usually does damage the circuitry within. btw cods, got that led watch going again. it takes 2 cr2016 batteries to power it. a total of +6v if there was enough room under the hold down strap, i could have used a 2025 and a 2016. ( used my last 2 2016) no worries should be good to go for a while :D

nice link janx. stuff to aspire to one day own. in the meantime there's always clones lol. GOOD clones ive got a beijing rolex. or frolex as its referred to. ( fake rolex) it has finally went terminal.
i need to round up $80. before mom died she gave me her tag heuer alter ego. ( mop dial with diamonds. i promised her i wouldnt sell it. But sadly my budget and health issues forced its sale. i made a gold bar for a watch band which would fit a movado mens museum dial. guess what, i found one today in neighboring pawn shop. had $99 on it. talked him to $80 out the door. when i sold moms tag
(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Tag-Heuer-WP1415-BA0754-Alter-Ego-Blue-Dial-Stainless-Steel-Womens-Watch-/00/s/MTYwMFg5NzQ=/$T2eC16NHJHgE9n0yEiheBQdsiDNmHg~~60_57.JPG) like this but it had the MOP dial. been taking a mental ass kicking ever since. because i NEVER break a promise. and this one i did. ive plans to purchase the movado as my daily wearer. but use parts left over from her tag, and the gold bar for the band so parts of her soul/memory will always be with me. its not hte same tier as the tag is. but she was a fan of movado as well
it is one of these

btw beRto i ordered the crystal from esslinger. also same place i ordered the stem for rons watch. ( he passed away a few days back. im doing this for his son. ) it arrived today. im thinking yours should arrive tomorrow. might take me 10 minutes to swap crystals and 24 hrs for adhesive to dry

Awesome! :cheers:
hadnt arrived yet. perhaps tomorrow. im thinking. watch is still running keeping perfect time. stem hasnt popped out since it did that first time. so im thinking movt is good.
final steps are remove stem, remove movt. remove crystal, replace crystal and adhere to watch. replace movt into watch body ( this can be done while adhesive is drying) replace stem into movt. wait 24 hrs, and disregard the following statement, as in NOT doing this lol ( stick a fork in it, its done)
beRto crystal arrived today. will take it with me tomorrow to shop barring complications she should be ready then

traded one of those photo watches i had a total of $12 in for a diesel DZ-2080
(https://img.saatyazilim.com/400/DZ2080.jpg) took the band off. trying to find a black matte or stainless mesh band for it. still have the original cuff band tho. like the dial cause it reminds me of a gauge on a ww2 era aircrAft. anyhoo beRto youve got a PM. your watch is enroute. dont have number on me atm. but will resolve that asap. buddha yours will be enroute shortly both the seiko and the ferrari replica are functioning and looking perfect ( functioning 100% ) as is yours beRto. as i said in pm i believe you will be pleased :cheers: lmk when you get it. since my net is down, will try and relay tracking number to you. either perhaps via adidasguy or iff you want ill relay it to you directly via test message? ( cant do voice calls ( way over budget for airtime. but text are unlimited ) will PM you now with my number. )( text only :) )

Did some watch work in exchange for this (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81UDgPhmwTS._SL1500_.jpg) idk money would have been better. but weve had several of these in the showcase and i always wanted it lol so it was a nice profit. crystal and battery service id havce priced in the $40 range. btw cods if you ever have to calibrate one of these, lmk i had to dl the pdf of the instructions for this. its a bit tedious, but also agood moneymaker
How come pictures of watches, and clocks are always positioned at 10 and 2... there must be something to it than just uniformity, right?

Numerology!
The time is 10:10
Convert that to decimal as if it were binary and you have a decimal 10: 8 + 2 = 10.
Now, that new decimal 10 is in reality a binary 2. Why 2? Because there were 2 1's and 2 0's and there are 2 numbers used: 1 and zero.
01101001 01101110 01110100 01100101 01110010 01100101 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 0100000 01110100 01101001 01100100 01100010 01101001 01110100
There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary, and those who do not. got to play with an Oscilloscope today @ shop. got to test out a few pieces. enjoyed work today. which rarely happens. ( health doesnt allow that much. but being busy helps out :). btw adidas, if youre ever in the neighborhood, dinners on me. i owe you at least that much.

Hey Yam. Can you fix like real antique clocks? I have one that must be 100 years old. It is a mantle clock that was left to my wife by her great grandfather. It isn't sexy, but it does have some gold on it, and it is a family heirloom.
Hard to believe things like clocks were an heirloom at one time.
mom had given me some of her non used rings ( to use for parts, before she passed away. took a 14k band, ran it through my ring stretcher. upside down. so the teeth textured hte band. and then mounted it to the 8700
(http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u360/gstwin/8700_zpsfbdd4d07.jpg)
John my friend that would make me nervous. what is going on, ( or not going on) with it. i DO know of a local clock man who CAN do it. also a NAWCC member. ( person i get my advice from and parts when needed. ) as rough as shipping can be, id be leery. but we can figure that out. got pics?, full shot, and relevant macros would help.
Hey adidas, heres that victorinox i set out for you. will give her some time on the display shelf, if a no go, ill put it on ebay for you.

the stand could be better but hell got one of those third hand things in my stash. if you try it lmk how well it does. $24.95 doesnt seem too bad. so i couldnt bîtch if its sub par lol
I've used one of those at my previous job. Definitely comes in handy, but it probably wont be long before you find yourself fabricating a better mounting system out of clamps.

Looking forward to tooling up. since i rented space on the marquee, business has grown quite nicely. 8 batteries yesterday lol. i dont pay space rent, nor do i buy batteries. i split profits with owner. if i do nothing i pay nothing. so its working out. tools OTOH are my responsibility. have a bench set up at home. thats my own pie there. need to get ym hands on NICE mini screwdrivers, another case opener/closer and also one that will work a rolex. i DO have one but i dont trust it. i can use it, but wou,ld rather get my hands on a good one. but its costly if new. ( if anyone has a lead on used but good parts LMK PLEASE :) also need a crystal lift, and that usb microscope. eventually a plater better than th eone i currently own.

going to find a way to get all of these items soon. business is picking up. why is it business is there before the tools are lmao :technical:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tware20/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3984.m1543.l2654 HOLY shaZam! I wanna go shopping. the bulova stem collection I want dearly. I picked a 21 jewel movt for buddhas repair. have it in wifes watch already. working on final fit.
DAMN found the bergeon goldmine. I desire their tools greatly. remodeling the office/workbench tomorrow and desire these items. one of each. not a bad price at all. Who knows. maybe Christmas will be lol.
these tho. Opinions? specially from fellow watchmakers/jewelers?, I know cods is one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Watch-case-back-opener-opening-Bergeon-left-handed-tool-watchmakers-swiss-/400307701427?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item5d3432c6b3 damn just saw the case opener at 207 dollars C'est La vie Eh? lol
As much as I LOVE and lust after bergeons tools, I wont pay that yet. business IS building but its not worth it YET to pay that kind of money for a case opener. it can wait. the others OTOH, perhaps sooner. the prices are not on par with growth. would be like me buying friends Maserati gransport to deliver pizzas. doable? sure worth it? no.
just so you dont get despondent brother!! ... a response that breaks the 6 posts in a row streak you had there!! ;)
we do see the posts.... just not respond on watch stuff much ... it interesting to see you drooling over the quality gear though! :D :thumb:
Nice tools. Bit too nice for my pocket :dunno_black: It is however just like the one I used to use when doing watches.

Figured you did my friend. just being lazy lol. will tool up finding used bergeon equipment. or estate pieces. got to find a tweezer/ screwdriver sharpening jig. I rearranged the office turned watchmakers bench 90 degrees. gives me 6 or 8 extra feet. brought out the stone drill as well. a drill press which turns on via handle movt. plans to mount polishing wheel in its chuck. drill is a vigor. so is my plater. Going to keep my eyes open for more as is lots on ebay or watchuseek and NAWCC if they cant be brought to life, I have a stash of parts. Also plan on locating a kennedy machinist toolbox for part storage.
Also looking for 2 specific watches if anyone knows. 1 a casio data bank ( owned one as a child in Chicago area. been searching for another one ever since) 2. a NON Chinese remote control watch.

Will post pics when I get around to finding them.
