Can anyone help please. I have my fathers Gucci 3400 FM but it’s in pieces. He took it to some backstreet firm to have the battery changed but the they could not get it back together. The movement comes out through the front of the case. They changed the battery and then could not press the case back together. I have tried without the battery in place using a press but the two sections do not lock together. Any suggestions?

Hi, I have attached some pictures to show the issue. As you can see the crystal is missing, damaged by pressing inappropriately so I have removed it but the main issue is  getting the two sections of the watch case to attached together. As you can see the original seal is still in place ( I am assuming its the original and has not been changed). If I remove the movement the case will still not locate together securely. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Richard, I lubricated the gasket and it I think I have it together. I needed to lay the movement into the bezel first and then place the case in the press. 

Now I need to locate a crystral to fit. I can't find it as a part online so I will need to measure and purchase one to fit. I have measured the bezel without the crystal gasket at 26mm but I'm not sure if I should measure with or without the gasket in place, can you help?

      Blew it with a coil

      [Myota2034] Custom simple quartz watch — PricewaterhouseCoopers On a very very different note, here is a watch from approximately 2000 when I was a Partner with PwC, Management Consulting. It was a simple “marketing watch” with a clever “vase of knowledge” that is subtly revealed on the dial as the second hand progresses. Clever for a simple watch!⌚️

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think someone else has though. Some where here using a modified perspex sheet. I may be wrong i may be right , i think it involved fitting the arbor to a pin vice. I dont have experience of the bergeon winders, are the handles not interchangeable ?

      Dial Dots

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Never tried dial dots, i always considered them as a bit of a bodge.  You are adding something that was never intended to be there. I wonder how the adhesive reacts to any part of the movement, hot summer heat and i think things might turn sticky. Most adhesive backed stuff has a tendency to soften and slide around so it may spread, i have used a lot of so called sticks all adhesives in my industry that are just not up to the job. I suppose they get you out of a problem quickly, but how permanently might that be ? I would just explain to the owner that it may or may not work. WWs other ideas are a much more permanent solution but both have their risks . I've tried milling and dial feet replacements, hmm it was ok, ive heard of folk dimpling the face , so that needs care . And i have soldered a few times , all with good results but i am very careful and I practiced it a lot.
