Tommy Hilfiger watch pusher


Facsi

Recommended Posts

Hi. I have a Tommy Hilfiger watch that damaged the pusher a few months ago when it fell on the ground.

I opened the watch to try to fix the pusher because it is stuck in a pressed position. I tried pushing it back from the inside after removing the mechanism but it is very hard. I was going to try using a press to remove it but I don't know if the pusher is pressed or it is threaded.

The inside is just a pin with a circular lock.

How can I find this out?

For a watch of that value I assume that it's pressed in. From my past experience the likely reason for the pusher holding in is that the shaft is bent and preventing it from move moving smoothly in the pusher housing. Before looking to replace the pusher, I would press the shaft from inside the watch case to reset the pusher position and then check the angle of the pusher head. The circlip could be removed to release it entirely for examining the bent shaft and straightening it. I've even left a pusher assembled and grasped the pusher button and straightened it. I'm currently wearing a Speedmaster automatic Day-date that I corrected this way and it didn't affect water resistance.
Good luck!

Thanks Lwayslate.

I saw your message back then. but I only could manage to remove it today. It was oxidized but all rust was removed.

Now the issue is the reason it was stuck: the housing for the button is just a little bent. Probably due to a fall. The button is perfect

What would be the best technique to unbent it? i can't think of any tools i have that would fit there.

Its stainless steel. So very hard...

hi tudor.

doing so the button would be useless, as if i had not fixed it.

I used silicone spray to lubrificate the rubber. the other button is working better than before. I also have a habit to avoid watches come near to water :)

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
