Gevril gv2 repair


Peladoro

Recommended Posts

hello all!

I own a gv2 stadium 4009b watch and am new to watch repair. My question is this: does anyone know how to remove the movement (eta 2836-2) from the bloody case? There's a retention ring held by 2 screws that when loosened rotates the ring. There are 2 screws that also secure movement to the ring...but i can't remove the ring nor the screws holding it because it is under the case. The watch appears to be in 2 parts: bezel, glass and inner rim of dial. the actual dial seems to be independent of the former. Not to want to force things do i have to seperate the bezel to remove the movement? no videos on gevril repair so asking here...thanks for any input. I'll attach pics if helps

Rogart63: yes that was my guess as well. Flat display crystal...but how do I seperate the 2? Don't want to force things you know

You don't need to remove the crystal. That sits in the crystal ring.  And that is where you take it apart.  It's probably some kind of gasket in the case. Nylon or rubber?  And it would take some kind of tool to remove and a press tool to press it back again.

    • My latest. Timex 2465. Replaced the crystal, caseback gasket and spring bars. All in less than $5US. Added a gray NATO strap I already had in stock.
    • I have some Gruen 510's in my donor pile if you need parts.
    • I've been intrigued by everyone's input here...so I decided to give this a shot. I bought the"typical" Pearl watch-machine basket and trays, for about $65. The trays are good,..the housing is a nightmare ! Thought it would take the mixer off my bench at anything above about 200rpm. The housing is cast of course,..and it's not "true" at all...so the harmonic vibration was insane. So,..I bit the bullet and bought the Elma housing and top. Not the baskets though, as the Pearl one's fit the Elma. Saved a bunch there. The basket and lid came to about $80 with shipping. The opening in the Elma top is 8mm, and the shaft that came with my stirrer is 6mm. I bought a piece of steel tube, 8mm O.D., and 6mm I.D. Cut off about an inch of the tube, and drove the rod into it. Gives a really snug fit.... Lightly champfered the leading edge of the 8mm section, then lightly tapped it into the top of the Elma lid. Spins like a dream now So... I have about $240 total into this including jars and steel mesh for the wave breakers   I'm pretty happy Best to you all   Randy
    • Still haven't gotten around to getting stems or screws, but I did make my first attempt at polishing a case. I just used a soft mop and rouge to reduce my odds of ruining them, and I think they came up pretty nice. Also gave the crystals a polish on the same wheel while I was at it. They were both very badly scratched up. The one on the left is fairly beat up, but it'll still make for a decent presentation.
    • You can try a rubber on that the sort for rubbing out a pencil.
