where it Canada?  They are on kijiji all the time.  Other than that, I'd start with Perrins, best supply to watchmakers in the country afaik.

TO's maybe a bit far then, but I've driven to Ottawa for stuff I wanted.  They seem to come up regularly, nothing right now except an overpriced beater in Collingwood, but if I see anything I'll let you know

meant to say free shop tour included...but you can't go back and edit! [emoji20]

You have a pro watchmakers shop in TO. May be worth the drive.

Pro?  good god no, I barely know which way is up.   Lots of machining tools large and small, been doing that for a long time, and its kindled an interest in watches and clocks

      You could try a soft-solder repair on that

      Another 6105 back in action!

      By tIB · Posted

      So I recently picked up a slim 6105 which had a badly damaged dial (posted in another thread). I couldn't really live with that given I had another dial handy, also in not great condition but with added bonus of having a better lume job and actually being fully attached to the dial plate!  So what to do with that damaged dial - I tend to think they should be in watches. Well...  A 6105 mid case and crystal assembly punt arrived from Italy yesterday, which I've frankened back into a working piece with the dial... Damaged dial now sits behind damaged crystal in an original case, currently powered by 6106 (with a 6106 caseback on to reflect this... I've cleaned up the original crystal up to a point, but kept it fairly beaten to distract me from the dial, my markers and it's not very satisfying lume job - it's not awful but it's glossy which I don't like. Also has a 6139 bezel on it for now because that's all I could find - I couldn't live with it naked and don't mind it tbh, though will keep an eye out as ever.  So yes, here you go - another 6105 (almost!) back to life. I'll also keep my eye out for the correct movement and perhaps a better dial in time. Caseback might prove tricky/expensive. I know Frankens aren't to everyone's taste but I do enjoy getting these back into working form. Better a working/worn watch than a sat in parts draws imo. And the good news here is that, thanks to the repro service crown, this is the only one I have I could actually feel safe to swim in!

      Tissot C01.211 movement problem

      By AndyGSi · Posted

      I suppose the first question is have you got the correct replacement stem. If you've removed it in the setting position then you could try pressing the button while inserting the stem. Other than that it's a case of possible strip down to get to the setting lever.
