Nope, they stock for only one vintage Citizen. Having the exact sizes one could do a better search.

Be sure to provide more pics and your info and knowledge accumulated for the benefit of us all.

You can do it!

Thanks for the replies! I'm getting ready. Let's do this!

NY0054 is the reference of this.

Check crystaltimes out. They could have a sapphire replacement.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Done with first layer. Yay!

No need to replace, you can easily polish the original. Use the search box top right. Sapphire for divers that are not popular can't be found, because they are thicker than the generic available, or are beveled, etc.

I don't think I have one. I will Look> just to be sure. I'll keep an eye out as I monitor for one of the ones I need! If I find one I'll post ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I successfully repainted the numbers on a Seiko monster bezel by filling the numbers with paint using an oiler, and wiping off excess when the paint had not yet fully dried. Bezel in situ.

I forgot to mention I removed the bezel before the painting.Also it was nail varnish.

Looks like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/FE-France-Ebauche-6-x-8-cal-6220-30-N-O-S-watch-movement-/272745599013 Sent from my NEM-L51 using Tapatalk

Fill the numbers an indexes with black paint. you can do this without thing to much about getting paint outside them . Let it dry . Test on 1 or 2 numbers before doing the complete bezel. Then use a cloth to wipe of the excess paint that is on the bezel.Or scrap it off but that could get you marks on the bezel. Leaving the numbers in black . http://doxa300t.com/bezelrepaint/bezelrepaint.htm

I would try to apply some tape on the inner and outer edges of the bezel so as not to get any paint below the bezel or on the crystal although I'm assuming that it's glass or sapphire and that cleans off easily. Paint can be removed easily so if you mess up you can just rinse and repeat. You could also try to indiscriminately paint over the dial (not all of it of course) and wipe off the excess but you might remove some of the numeral paint by doing this and it depends on how big or small the font size is.

I have used black nail paint & it worked a treat. I used a very fine brush and any over painting can be removed with very fine emery paper.

Still shows very well Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I would like to repair and old movement Dogma The winding stem is broken, does anybody have a hint where to find it? I have found this site browsing http://www.windingstems.com but apparently Dogma movements are not very popular. Thanks

Can we ask where it is? ..Swatch for example? if so- you get a quick tour of the building, shown to a side room with you and whoever else is on a bench test too . Make friends with them quickly, you might need each other to help look for parts if you drop anything! your task is to simply service a nice watch movement EXACTLY to their requirements. Cleanliness and immaculate oiling is VERY VERY important! Don't rush. You get most of the day, use all the equipment in the room, (like binocular microscope for oiling escapement). Don't lose or drop or break/mishandle anything. Maybe chat to other employees on your lunch break, look to be bright, interested and organised and totally professional. Be smartly dressed- relax, it's a long day. At the end your watch will be looked at and assessed without you being there, you will then have a chat at the end and you'll be told what they think. How you conduct yourself is really important, take any criticism and use it to get better for next time if you are unsuccessful. Good luck! J

A few weeks ago I was following the auction on a very Minty Hamilton "Rodney" watch . This watch has what is called a Quadrant colored dial which I am partial to . I shared this Bulova Royal Clipper on this post a while back that also had a quadrant dial.... The Hamilton Rodney finally sold to some lucky bidder for $300 . A few days later another Rodney came up for auction but the dial looked dark and the quadrant didn't show up very well in the pics . I figured that there was a gem hiding in the darkness so I got the watch for $74 . After I got the watch I took the movement out and cleaned the case and crystal in my ultra-sonic and indeed , the dial had a smokey dark look to it . I took a BIG chance and decided to try and clean up the dial knowing full well that I may do irreversible damage to it . I am talking from more then 1 experience here ....... First I said a little prayer ,..."Oh Please Watch God , don't let me mess this dial up....Pleeze "...then I proceeded . Well somebody up there must like me cuz it came through the operation OK....Whew !! Feeling ahead of the game now , I ordered a nice retro looking Hirsch watch band to compliment Rodney ... Looking pretty Spiffy if I do say so myself .

Just polished this stainless steel bezel using 1 micron diamond paste. 5 minute job and has removed 90% of the surface scratches Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
