Hi, Just looking for some advice on how to fit the setting with jewel. It needs to be pushed into a hole in a small steel plate. I have a Horia type tool but need to know the best place to push so I don't damage the setting. I can push on the jewel itself that sits inside the setting, that should drag the setting in or I can push on the rim of the setting. The setting shape is that of a top hat with a rim that can be pushed. Any recommendations here?

      It might start and work for a few minutes/ hours,  then stop, or run slow.

      Welcome to the forum. Swapping a movement is probably one of the simplest jobs with the most difficult part for a newbie being removing and replacing the hands. Ronda 505 movements are still available and depending where you are in the world as to the cost. The thing you need to be aware of is the variations of this movement.

      Just because I like clarifications of things? Typically on American pocket watches with jewels held together with screws their only disassembled for cleaning. Then the reassembled and for oiling their oil from the backside. As it would be extremely unlikely that you can oil the end stone and somehow pop it altogether and expect the oil the stay in place plus the little tiny screws are really not meant to be going in and out on a continuous basis as they will strip. So basically disassemble you can clean the push them all back nice and solid put the screws in and then oil from the backside like in the image below. Small drop of oil is placed like in the figure a. Small tool is used to bleed the oil down. They do not recommend using the balance staff of the watch you're using you could use some other balance staff I usually have a much smaller staff I find it works quite nicely. Then it's a little hard to see but an image's C the oil is held in capillary action where it's supposed to be. Then I have a link to a book that covers this and all sorts of interesting things to read about for pocket watches. https://archive.org/details/TM9-1575

      My Luminox 7050 is my backup tritium watch. My other tritium Isobrite had a dead battery as usual i went for my back up and both were dead. Took both to the local jeweler to replace the batteries. Got them back put the Luminox on and then went for a swim. Within minutes the watch looked like an aquarium. immediately took the back off and no grease and the o ring and looked like it wasn't in the grove either. Flushed it with distilled water then blew it out and its in a jar of silica jell. Here is the questions. What are my chances of it working after it dries out? If not. It has a Ronda 505 movement can I replace it myself? ( I already have the crown and guts out) I think I can get the movement replaced for about $75 but its probably gona be at least $100. As far as the isobrite, I am takeing it to the distribute that is local to have it resealed and tested.
