hello all

well the screw went ping and it vanished so now I'm left with a missing screw. 

with out a spare supplier (cousins) also not having access to a parts list or drawing how do I track down the screw needed for this watch (fossil) I would like minimal of two replacement screws.

I wonder if cousins would have them as they do carry the movement ??

It's not that is 'went' as that was a naturl occurence. Stop for a moment and consider what was the mistake that made that happen, e.g. work not at armpit height, or not supporting the mov.t holder, or screwdriver not dressed properly.

Check their Chinese mov.t page:

Chinese manufacturers do not make spare parts available for their movements, apart from stems.

Also unavailabke are drawings, that not a big deal if one knows how a watch works and take pictures.

That being said you may get a working screw buying an assortment or a lot of scrap watches.

Jdm Thank you 

I had the screw in my tweezers but needed to turn it over so I twisted my tweezers over and ping it disappeared I think next time I will place it on some radico  and then turn it over and adjust my tweezers.

 

This was my own fault thought I was a two minute job and I wasn't really paying attention o'well lesson learnt

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
