Hi, I own a new Casio Waveceptor Atomic/solar WVA-M640, which I bought on E-Bay. It is the one with the "rubber" band. I like it a lot. I did notice that the crystal is on so that it is slightly thicker at the 12-o'clock position (I mean where the crystal meats the case) than at the 6-o'clock position. I don't know if this is intentional by Casio, or just a minor issue of the crystal being manufactured that way, or if when the crystal was put on the case they didn't quite align it right. Any ideas? I would be grateful. It is a very minor issue, but I am just curious. It doesn't affect my use of enjoyment of the watch at all. Thanks!

I just had a look at mine which was bought new on Amazon a couple of years back.  It's the same way.  Slight enough that I'd never have noticed if you hadn't asked, but definitely projects less at 6 than it does at 12.

      Omega Split stem issue (will not go back in)

      By Rustinbox · Posted

      Bringing this old thread back to life, as I have similar problem. I did follow this advice, but while inserting a male stem (crown side) and just pushed it to the female part, and the fork (female side) of the stem has broken. What is the right way? Push the stem part so it widens the gap and fits in? Why it was then receiving side got broken? Old metal? It is a vintage watch from late 60s.    or the outer part should be inserted somehow from the side (slipping to the gap), but I don’t have space there for this manipulation. The watch is Orient Fineness monocoque case.   thank you!

      Winding pinion making

      Thats insane Nev that you cut those tiny pinion teeth with a cutter you designed and made.

      I certainly do Razz. Ive just started work on this AS554, interestingly enough it had a paper dial made from a postcard , look at the brand name on the dial, very curious.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep, so we got a 10 1/2  ligne movement, thats the starting point now these bad boys books should hopefully get us across the finishing line . Next we need a good clear picture of that rocking bar, the setting lever and the setting lever spring. I've already got an idea what it might be.
