Is it possible anyone might have a manual for the Zenith 146? Seems impossible to find one anywhere.

I tried the heat gun approach, but that didn't work for me. Then I remembered that we had a hot plate stored away. Pulled that out. With the heat gun I had to use a steak knife to keep the bezel from blowing away. With the hot plate, I just set the bezel on it, keeping my hands free. First try with medium heat didn't work. Second try with medium high heat for about 5 minutes worked. I kept the crystal at room temp and used a loop of tape to set the crystal down onto the bezel once it was hot. Then I left it alone while it cooled. The gold got tarnished from the heat. However, some Never-Dull was able to remove that.

Hi Samuel, There should be no problem to use the part as is, no mater it is broken to 2 pieces. -

There is smaller circle surrounded by groove on the one side, this goes to the pivot. It is designed this way to prevent the oil from leaking. -
Several years ago I was at a lecture where I learned that lubrication expires? So armed with my new information I replaced all the lubricants I had and? Yes several hundred dollars and all new oils. Have I replaced them after they expired because all the new lubricants do have expiring dates in the answer is no. Not only have I not replace them but I have no intention of ever replacing them. Not only that but I was really excited several months ago to purchase some brand-new Elgin oil which hasn't been made by Elgin since probably the 60s and that oil is still highly sought after. So on this group and other groups of the endless debate over why lubrication is so expensive and why does it expire is occurring. One of the problems with a bottle lubrication is it's hard to tell how old it is it doesn't change color when it expires doesn't explode it looks identical to what it was made even of its 2030 years old there is no way of telling. So they put expiring dates on it so you can see how old it is. If you are a professional watchmaker charging money to do repair work then it would probably be worthwhile to replace the oil on a regular basis just because. But as a hobbyist I really wouldn't worry about it all. If you're really concerned keep an eye on your watches see what the performance of them is if you see a performance issue just clean the watch again and use the same oil that has expires as it's probably just fine.
