How yemk install screws to call the phone it's not riding on the enabled


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Haha. You're just in a wicked mood today John 😅
    • Heres my watch of today, a Smith 13'" RY . My missus bought me this for this Valentines day a bargain 14.99 with a reduction, the seller has occasional 20% off offers now and then so it was about 15ish with delivery. I love Smiths and i love bulleye dials, this is my first one. The watch arrived non working as stated and i knew what was inside and what would be against me, but i enjoy a challenge, we dont expect a lot if anything from pin pallet movements. A balance pivot was broken and i didnt have another staff but i did have another RY with a battered dial so i robbed the balance and tweaked it around to make it work apart from that mostly just a good clean and relubrication. Keyless works are pretty rough by design and the crown is a bugger to get in and out with the dial on, the setting lever hits the dial before it releases it, so a little mod is needed to help that along. Major problem was the pins on the lever were quite worn which make the old tg have a snow storm fit. Its a similar read for most pin pallets, these were brass as was the escape wheel. But perseverance is me, i didn't change the pins but i did spend some time dressing and polishing the worn areas which improved the trace a lot with some straightish lines 😅 and a beat error of .5 . Not sure what the lift angle should be on these and i Wasn't in the mood to work it out and who believes timegraphers anyway, but at the default 52° it runs with 260ish full 210 after 24 hours dial down , the verticals rates were pretty much all over place. So lets just put it in it's superlight aluminium case and see what happens. Been wearing it now for 3 weeks and it's consistently losing around 1.5  minutes a week winding each morning i think pretty good for an old pin pallet watch. I just love this dial, thanks wifey heres my Valentine's gift for yer sweetie x
    • I have a PDF below that will help. The problem was the PDF wasn't designed for this purpose it was designed to tell you what size watch you  have. Then it doesn't take into account movements come conceivably in different thicknesses.   watch-ligne-size-chart.pdf
    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?
