Hello all,

I replaced the battery of an Invicta watch, and I could not remember if the inside had this odd plastic reinforcement or not.  I think it came from the watch, but I can't figure out how to fit it in and close the case.  I've had no success with a general online search, so I'm hoping someone here would have some experience with this.

I could put the back on without the odd piece, but I'm afraid that some damage could occur to the watch without the piece in place.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the suggestions.  Now that I know that this piece is supposed to go inside, I'm having a hard time finding the correct placement.  It doesn't snap in at any point that I've seen so far.  I've removed both protective pieces and tried to make them come together with no success.  The movement protection cover sits up very high in the watch not allowing closure. I'm still trying.

I've attached a few pics.

those back case usually need a machine to close properly and sometimes are real pain even for profesionals . its not screw type if i can see clearly ?

 

You are right about the piece, and that's cool that you recognized it as Casio!  I opened a Casio G-shock watch that I recently changed a battery for, and this mystery piece exactly fit in there.  I just don't remember removing it when I first opened the Casio. :unsure:

The Invicta has a 373 battery.  The case back was a pop off type, and I definitely had a hard time removing and closing it.  I do have a watch case press and was able to close the back after some tinkering and adjusting, but I felt a great relief and euphoria when if finally snapped shut!:woohoo-jumping-smiley-emoticon:

Thank you, Parmenion31, for the tips, and thanks to the others that gave feedback!  I appreciate it very much!  This forum has saved me, and I'm glad I found it! :Bravo:

You need to use a ring die with these. Otherwise it buckles and won't close.

Hey, with my experience, that plastic not of Invicta watch. I think it 's Casio or Timex case with big Battery CR 2016, 2032 ...

That was said above already.

BTW we have a section where it's considered polite for new members to introduce themselves.

      Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?

      Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross

      Hi all, total newbie to watchmaking and I've had a bit of a mishap. Just completing level 2 and was doing ok, but I was just on the last part of the reassembly of my ST3620 when the balance end stone shot across the room, just as I was trying to see if I had put the correct amount of oil between it and the balance end, aarrrgh! Been on my hands and knees combing the carpet for 20mins looking for it but to no avail. Does anybody know where I can get a replacement from and what to look for please?? Thanks.
