You might consider using another translator - your headline makes no sense in the context of watchmaking.

You are showing a CITIZEN dial. I assume both front and back? If so, the back side has no location pins, so I'm assuming you locate the dial based on the day/date window?

I'm not familiar with how CITIZEN attaches their dials - other brands attach the dial by means of really small screws through the side of the movement however those screws typically press against a protruding dial stud (see 2 studs on rear of dial below).

Hi as Gary pointed out both the dial feet are missing. There are several repair techniques available to restore the feet. There are stick on feet (avaiable from Cousins UK ) but with calendar complications you have to watch for the clearance. There are tools available to recess the dial to relocate the feet. The one below is a Cousins one but they are available from Ali Express far cheaper.  The other alternative is to re-solder new feet on,  like the attached which is my own that I built a while ago or the commercial alternative.

Unless the watch has sentimental meaning to you - you might want to find a new dial.

There are several watches that appear to have a similar dial here however you would really need to know more about your watch, dial size and specific movement to ensure that any dial you get would align properly with the holes in the main plate.

Disclaimer - I have never purchased from India and have seen too many stories that suggest it isn't a great idea.

      I loved his explanation of a teardown 😅

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      I also see a bit of danger for the wheel, at least you have to keep away from it and may get a too thick rest ring. My rest rings are about 0.05 mm. Better way would be a grinding wheel touching the staff with its circumference. Frank

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Not easy to find this one everywhere,  so it depends where you are located. Joining it back together might be possible, i have silver soldered mild steel before even with traditional plumbers lead and its a pretty strong joint, but bere in mind this is only 1mm diameter.  The join would need to be very accurate,  it not something i have heard of anyone trying before. The part no 401 is the swiss code number and relates to watch winding stems in general

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I think between us we’ve worked out what’s going on. Next job is to have a proper look at this great wheel assembly, see if I can remove the clip and the friction fit pinion, give the bits a good clean, then put it back together with a bit of blue grease. I’ll also get the pallet fork under the microscope to see if it’s ok or been damaged.

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Mercurial · Posted

      The cannon pinion (be it conventional style or what you see in this movement) should slip on its arbour so the hands can be set independently without affecting the gear train.  If there is too much friction between the cannon pinion and the second wheel, turning the hands to set them backwards can sometimes force the escape wheel teeth to overrun the pallet stones, creating the behaviour you describe. The train is running in reverse when this happens.  This can often chip the pallet stones. I’d say at least half of the watches I’ve inspected with very tight cannon pinions had chipped pallet stones. Hopefully this isn’t the case with your watch.  I’m not familiar with this movement but you need to get the friction in the cannon pinion adjusted correctly.  Hope this helps, Mark
