Cadisen c1032 opening


val

Recommended Posts

Hello, i want to open the cadisen c1032 in order to change hands but the bezel in the front is too tight, to the point i cannot even shove my knife in there. Mark has a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjBfSCzS8eg where he opens first the case back and then continues with the bezel(is this crucial for the bezel to be removed?). Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

Can you get a razor blade in between the bezel and case? It is possible the bezel is integrated- I can't tell from these pictures.

If integrated (or even if not), just pull the movement out the back to change the hands. It's a better way to do it, and will not compromise the crystal gasket, which must be changed if removed. I suspect you do not have another crystal gasket...

Hard to be sure from the pictures but it looks as though it will all come out through the back, remove the back cover and look round the edges of the movement for clips or locks which hold the movement into the case.  Another photo of the front of the watch and of the back with the cover removed may b of value     thanks.

    • 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
