Help!

Given an Armani as a retirement, only a year old and I broke it! Hammer fell on the front and smashed the glass.

Do I have to go in through the back, remove the movement, then push the glass and retaining ring, or will it pop out with insertion leverage from the front?  

thanks in advance Mel

Removing the quartz module is needed to replace flat crystals. Since a crystal press and set of dies are needed to do it the proper way y, I recommed that you bring it to a watch shop to do the work. Some of the places where they change batteries are equipped fo that.

Hi Iam inclined to agree with jdm that the best avenue is to take it to a shop, If you are not equipd to remove the case back and have a glass press to put the new one in  a DIY approach could be costly, Also they may be shards of glass dust in the watch which may cause further damage if not removed.           cheers

Thanks for the quick reply -- and the advice! Was a little daunted as it is special to me, so I think the best course - as you say, is to take it in  and bite the bullet really.

Thanks very much to you both

  Regards

      Regarding the spring winders, I made my own and used copper pipe reducers as the tubes to retain the spring. You will need to cut out a section for the end of the spring to protrude but if you watch one of the many videos on this subject that will make sense. You can find a selection of sizes on Ebay for very little cost. I'll attach a pic showing one of mine.  Good luck!

      Omega sweep second pinion friction spring - correct tension IS important

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      There were things bothering me about this discussion that took me a while to figure out the problem. In the image below it appears to be the spring may be pushing up? Normally when Omega has a spring pushing up the pinion has a pivot with a bridge to hold it in place so in other words the spring can push on something that stationary as opposed to this which appears to be floating? To understand the problem with the above image we need another image of side view which I have below. In my image down below on the left-hand side it agrees with the image up above. But the only problem is the left-hand side is defective and the right-hand side image is the way it's supposed to look. Then Omega if you can access the right documents does explain how and why this problem occurs. With the pinion floating around it might be assumed that you support it when putting on all the hands but you do not because as noted below if you do this small bush on the pinion will relocate out of position exactly what we see in the image up above.   Then Omega does not mention this but there is a possibility of also damaging the pinion and causing the bush to move to where it's not supposed to be when removing the hands.

      Regulating is too touchy

      Maybe show us 1) the watch, 2) timegrapher readings in DU, DD, PU, and PD.

      The timegrapher displays significant beat error variations in the dial-up position. When the watch is lying flat (face up), the beat error is much higher than in other positions. Beat error readings are inconsistent, with especially large gaps in the face-up position.  Please help !

      Looks like an open-access journal that runs as a glorified pre-print server with no true peer review, so it’s not easy to judge the veracity of the conclusions.
