Quartz fault.


Recommended Posts

Do you have a multimeter and a watch pulse tester?

The coil can be tested with a multimeter set to resistence measuring mode. A good coil should be in the range of 1K to 3K.

If the coil tests ok, then a pulse tester should be able to determine if the electronics are ok.

that seems to have completely died

Have you tried replacing the battery?

Then if this was your normal quartz watch damaging the coil would definitely be an issue but there is several coils in this watch so damaging one the rest should still function so something should be a working. Usually totally dead would be the battery or the circuit. But you really can't look at a quartz watch without proper test equipment or some test equipment.

Just in case you don't have the tech sheet I'm attaching that

    • As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.
    • Thanks Jon, my mum is getting there day by day, so strong and determined, they dont make em like this anymore 🙂 Old folk are so amazing,  my mum used to love her golf, she didn't stop playing until she was 70 . Enjoy your trip and your golf.
    • Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance. 
    • So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
    • Very best wishes to you and your family, as a carer myself I know how difficult things can be.
