Hello everybody! 

I have recently started working on this Omega Seamaster Cosmic (with day and date). And it is giving me nightmares...  

The problem is with the calendar plate. Initially when I got the watch, one of the screw that holds the plate was missing, and the other one was not a proper one. After some investigation I found in a manual that the right screws are p/n: Omega 3441.  

 But! They do not fit. The screw head is, as I think and see it, larger than the channel it supposed to go in. Or maybe, there is something is the channel itself?

The screws were ordered from CousinsUK, and I think those were advertised as the original ones.  

So, I can’t figure out, are the screws too short or their heads too wide, or do I just need other screws? Please kindly advise!  

Thank you!

Here a pic for comparison:

The size of the screw head looks right! Are the threads in the plate o.k.? There might be a reason why one screw was missing and one was wrong…

@KalanagYou sir, are a lifesaver! Now I can sleep! Thank you!

But honestly, where ever I looked they would suggest the 3441 screws. For example one the pic I have attached, there they show the dial side with those screws.

 

Well anyway, I will order the 2050 screws. And thank you for the PDF also!

      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.
