Hi, I have an old watch that I replaced the battery of. The problem then was that the gears were dirty, so I cleaned them properly. There are 4 gears and I can't figure out the correct order for them to go in. Would someone have a service manual? Model number: 65WLGSS04

 Always good idea to take pictures as you disassemble, bucz  datasheet might not be available for the caliber you work on.

 I did google for image of 65WLGSS04 to no avail, is this the caliber?  in case your not sure, best to find a picture of your movement on internet and give us the link.

Image of the actual piece is not neccessary for calib identification.

one of the problems and watch repair is newbies confusion over model numbers. Companies will purchase basic  OEM models and they will case them up in their own watch and label them with a model number. Service manuals usually go back to whoever made the OEM movement. This is why it's always nice to give us a picture so we can see what you have and we might actually figure out who made the watch possibly a manual probably not though. One of the problems are not all watches have service manuals in fact only a fraction of all the watches ever made have service manuals. But we might get lucky for manual otherwise we could probably tell you how to put the wheels back in if we had a picture of what were dealing with

    • Certainly looks like a ring that needs unscrewing in that photo. It definitely looks like a thread above the castellated ring as well. Separate to the caseback ring thread. It even looks to be a smaller diameter. I would expect that. Once undone out of its thread, it should fall out of the case. Would it be possible to make a tool shaped like a letter H with one side of the H engaging the castellations in the ring and the other side of the H for you to be able to unscrew it using your hand? Making a tool with 6 'legs' to pick up all of the castellations would be a labour of love.
    • Can anyone advise how to remove the crystal from a Vertex DD case ?  I think I need to unscrew an internal retainer ?  It definitely isn't just pushing out.
    • Alright, the job is done. I first filed down the stubs flat. I then used a Proxxon hand drill first with a 0.5mm bit to score a point to work from, then a 1mm drill bit to properly drill out some lug holes. I just went slowly, checking the depth as I went. I drilled the inside of the lugs, leaving the outsides unblemished. I was worried that drilling at an angle might be a problem, but it turned out fine. Lug holes don't need to be very accurate, so it was actually easy to create holes to easily accommodate a spring bar. The result is a 'good enough' outcome that worked for me. Thanks for your help everyone, loving the hobby so far. I learn so much with each project.
    • Welcome to the forum. Yep not a cheap hobby by any means , Ali Express, the Chinese Amazon has some decent tools but should ask the members their thoughts before purchase.  A little reading to help you along. TZIllustratedGlossary.pdf
