Hi, Maybe you could help me identify this part. I think it fell out of a vintage Omega Geneva case (maybe the back case) but I'm not sure as it seems to not have any purpose there + didn't notice it before but maybe it was jammed inside. Thanks in advance, Rafael -
Bezel, the metalic ring in which the crystal fits is to be removed if this is a front loader. -
Hey Poljot are they sapphire crystals? I agree don't get me wrong I'm just throwing in a bit of humour at my expense. But thanks for the link to the crystals 😃 -
Hardly a definitive resource, but calibercorner lists 200/150/80/30 so hopefully that makes it even more confusing. I'd check the ETA technical documentation to be sure. The only other thing I can contribute is that the subdials _can_ definitely be different hole sizes (like a valjoux 7733) -
Hi all, I took Mark's courses about a year ago, and am hooked. Frustrating yes, but I've learned so much (most of all, what I don't know!). I love to acquire watches not running well or not at all, and try to revive them. Now here's my latest problem: It's a vintage Ernest Borel that I just can't get out of the case. I've removed the back and the crystal, hands, crown/stem, and all the parts accessible from the back, but the movement will not budge. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks much Fred

Hi all. First-time poster here. I need to remove the movement and crystal from this watch so that I can send the case to be replated. I've been looking at videos and tutorials on how to remove the winding stem, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it on this watch. I know it should be a relatively simple operation, and the guy at my local jeweller was going to charge me $45 to do the disassembly, so here I am!
The problem is that I don't see any arrow, or "dimple" that I'm supposed to push down on, or anything. Or if it's a screw release, I don't know which screw to unscrew. The watch in question is a quartz Rotary with a French movement and the number "3984" etched on the back.
