Hello everyone, got a question. I just purchased a Seiko 5, and trying to set day and time. I've followed the instructions, but I can't push in on crown to quick change the date and day. Or all Seiko 5 push to set? -
I had ordered a Omega 960 (based on 6497) and when I got it, the hour wheel is there but they don't have dial screws. I had to source some Omega screws for a lot of dough 😞 I contacted the seller but he said he doesn't know at all and just sell NOS movements. Luckily, many parts can be found using 6497 as keyword and they are interchargeable.

I was thinking of drilling it but wanted to get this job done. Next time perhaps. I also put a video on YouTube , reassembling the Ball Waltham made watch and putting in the setting screws. Big success with the jewel setting and the resulting amplitude and beat error of the movement. Next job is soldering dial feet:)

Orient Star 'Explorient'. Any ideas for the date of this watch? Movement 48748, case ER0T C0 CS. This watch is 36mm diameter and has the latest version of the Orient Star logo so I'm thinking not that old. Any Orient experts out there?

Hey all,
I am really stuck for what to do. The spring bar has snapped inside the lug hole on my watch, I think the strap had been on since the 70s. I have asked around and tried the following:
Wd40 and a deep clean.
glue to pull out the broken part
heat to loosen
got at it for hours with various different needles.
it doesn't seem to be held in with dirt, feels 100% solid in there. it he not moved at all. Feels like it's part of the case!
no watchmakers are open and I don't want to drill... not sure a Bath would help it either as it's so solidly in there.
