The reason I joined this community:

My father recently gifted me his old broken watch. It's a Casio MDV-301D-7A (model number:2364), year 2007.
I managed to replace the battery, set the time and clean it thoroughly.


But there are other things I need to do, in order to restore this watch to a proper condition and use it for myself. I need to polish it and buy 3 different types of metal pins, in order to replace the broken ones.
Problem is, this is my first time repairing a watch ever. So I am not quite familiar with the terminology that is used for replacement/spare parts. I tried to do some research but I end up finding that everyone uses different names for the same parts (talking about the metal pins) or I end up finding no information at all.
I tried looking for a replacement bracelet, but they are discontinued worldwide. I also tried looking for a non-genuine chinese one, but no luck with that either.

With that being said, I am looking forward to my journey of learning about watches and how to repair them.

And hopefully wear this watch on my wrist.

Welcome to the forum! As you are finding out, watchmaking is a deep, deep rabbit hole. It seems overwhelming at first, but the knowledge and readiness to help on this group is fortunately endless. Be patient, stick at it, help the experts to help you and you will soon have this watch back on your wrist.

Hello and welcome to the forum  If you have any questions regarding a watch/s we find it helpful if its accompanied with pictures of the said watch/s and their movements. Terminology differs as you have found out so I have attached a couple of documents which may help.

Wow, you just provided me with everything I need, in order to learn the whole anatomy of a watch! I don't think I will need to go so deep in that case, because I simply need to replace a couple of pins but I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me. Thank you very much!

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
