So I hesitated before posting this new topic since it is just to share a small repair experience. Not a big deal though and I have a little time to "chat". In any case, a friend of mine brought me this Fossil watch ( I didn't take a before picture but below is the "during" picture and of course the final picture). Apparently the watch had been forgotten in a drawer somewhere: battery ran out, minute hand attached but moving loosely about and 3 tiny hour markers dancing inside. To make a story short, I took charge immediately applying first aid to the poor watch! The watch after first aid applied: And it live happily ever after... :woohoo-jumping-smiley-emoticon:

A cracking day, so pulled out the old Norton for a change from working on the kitchen!

See, I developed that technique that they use on all the CSI type shows 20 years ago! Way ahead of my time! :cool: Rossco

Excellent, it's good to know how these unusual things are put together. I think this will be the only information on the net regarding this procedure.

I released the dial screws and gently lifted the dial...it came off in three pieces...the hour wheel appeared to permanently staked to the middle disc under the transparent disc...the lecoultre disc forming an annular piece...the faceted pieces seem to lock the sets together....

Damn - I've been staring and staring, and still no change... :lolu:

when using any glue (or event paint for that matter), make sure it dries completely before sealing it up. The fumes can cloud the inside of the crystal and also affect other parts. Anil
