Happy to report, one is on the way. Getting new toys is part of the fun😊 -
Option 2 is tricky, but doable using silicone grease and a small flat screwdriver with dull tip & tweezers. You may even use some electric tape between o-ring and the blade while pushing the o-ring to prevent damaging it. You may also search here for a new waterproof crown: https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/waterproof-watch-crowns I wish you luck and hope you will work something out. I am going to spend less time on this forum as I need to concentrate on some interesting and time-consuming current projects with vintage watches (jewels replacement, new balance staffs, etc). TIME for a break :-).

After a little research...made by Patek Philippe for Tiffany. It is in beautiful condition. I recall my dad having great respect for Patek Philippe. I think they are credited with make the most complex mechanical watch of all time. -
Same as the lume, it'll suspend in the gap. Although since you're repainting anyway, what about a different lume colour there? I think they have lume that looks black in daylight . Not as bright as regular but still, nice touch
Question
Gra 1
Only just getting into this hobby, bought a tatty Montine watch to practice on, it has an AS5203 movement.
I have cleaned it, re-oiled as re-assembled (video' the disassembly so I could confirm where everything went), the watch is running fine although the setting lever spring is broken at the base.
My problem is I cannot set the hands although I can alter date wheel. When I bought it the hands could be set fine.
I've redone the work again with the same result, I've obviously got something wrong but cannot figure out what.
With the dial off you can see the wheels trying to turn but they seem to be fighting the train of wheels.
Any ideas please!
