Hello everyone!

I have loved watches from the age of 10. My very first was a digital Casio F91W. I have tried to hold on to and keep every watch I have owned since then. I am trying to grow my watch collection and with my limited funds at the moment I have been able to buy a few and restore some of them.

I thought this would be the perfect place to get some knowledge and insight into restoring them to as good as new. 
 

I have recently come across a beautiful Fossil CH2564 with a broken window and was wondering if I could get some help with restoring it. I am trying to source the parts for it but I am having quite a tough time finding the right place. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Wishing everyone the best that life has to offer, always!

Welcome here.

Looks like a flat crystal, easy to get and replace. You can find the part, as well a press and digital calipers on Ebay. You can also fit a sapphire crystal for few dollars more. The cheapest place to buy is Alixepress if you don't mind a longer shipping time.

      L&R Varimatic Needs Adjustment

      By clockboy · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      L&R Varimatic Needs Adjustment

      By storminwestie · Posted

      Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
