Hi, can anyone help me find name, part number and where I can buy these? They are like plastic washers about 2mm dia x 1mm this that are pressed into the main plate and the dial feet push into them.

any help appreciated.

cheers,

boyd

Hi  What is the caliber and make of the movement these plugs are in. If we can find a parts/tech sheet may be able to help.  They may not even be available as spares, depends on the cost of the movement and maker.    a picture of the complete movement front and back would be helpful

I may be wrong but are the green dial feet retainers are part of the green plastic circuit  board? I would use some G-S hypo cement glue in the damaged area to attach the dial. The glue is easy to remove when servicing.

Thanks, I did end up using g-s hypo. But they are not part of the green circuit board. I stripped the whole thing. It’s running quite well now. Thanks for commenting!

I had a seiko 6530A built on the green plastic frame but the whole thing disintergrated

it's an unfortunate common problems that a lot of plastic with age disintegrates.

I'm attaching the service guide and parts list. I'm not seeing anything that looks like dial feet whatever? There is a possibility this part of the main plate or I'm just not seeing what I'm looking for.

Thanks John, I also couldn’t see the feet.

      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.
