Hello lads

I have had  very nice Certina Cal 919-1 in with

the owner saying "the dial is not centred in the case.

Not surprising when the stem and button are missing.

Any suggestions as to where I can order same?

All help will be most appreciated!

Well I have managed to aquire a stem for

my Certina "Waterking" datewatch from

Cousins (thanks WillFly) but can anyone

tell me how to order a gilt button for it as I

don't know what the part number is. All i know

is that the stem number turned out to be 401.

I had to print out the PDF to get that! I assume

that the button will be a waterproof type with

"O" rings?

Hi minuteman, part 401 is the generic number for watch stems... Applies to all swiss movements.

For the crown you need the case tube diameter, stem thread size , and crown material and shape.

Thanks Anil-I got that number from the data sheet of the watch

which showed the picture of the stem as well so I hope it's ok.

I can take the measurements of the tube but iI'm hoping 

Cousins may be able to identify the button.

      All watches are repairable a few oven duff tools knowledge skills. But I was just agreeing that it be easier to get a movement.

      About repair watch's jewel.

      First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?

      I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank

      Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
