Anyone help me please.

There's something wrong with Wenger 096.0659. When I adjust the time, the hands interfere each other, even touching with its index. I don't know what is the cause but anyway I'm gonna replace the hands first and then mount them again.

GUCCI 1500L, there's a tiny dust inside of the glass.

But I can't find the setting levers. Where to push? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for replying. I think I found an arrow with GUCCI movement. still not sure with WENGER.

I'm gonna open the case and check again.

By the way I've heard some of them need to loosen a screw to replace the stem.(I've never seen yet. basically seen in high quality movement?)

How do you locate it? Maybe it basically line on stem? I'm afraid of touching a screw that must not be touched.

That screw you are talking about is on the side and front, -- in the ETA movement (Wenger) -- next to the stem...you can't see the stem but you can trace an imaginary line from the crown to the back of the movement. If you look at the watch from the crown, the screw is on the left and very close to the imaginary line. Only do 1/2 a turn at a time...the stem should come out at about 1 and a 1/2 turn of the screw.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
