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 :)

    • Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike
    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here

Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
    • Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark
