You should be able to wiggle it a little and you should feel it go into place, don't push to hard because you could do damage, If that doesn't work move it round to the holes you have near to the engage lever and try tweezers to move the lever until it is engaging. Now fit the little clip and push home with tweezers. Fit dial but don't press the dial down as you might  press to hard and damage what is under the dial. Set stem in the hand setting position,turn until you see the day and date change that will be at12 and fit hands make sure hands aren't touching anything and you should be good to go. If it has a rapid day/date change all the better you can save a lot of time in getting to the correct day date.

As oldhippy says, only ting is did you properly index the day wheel with the day star (little gear wheel)? Unless you manage to get them in the exactly right location your day wont align centrally in the window,

I have tried to re-glue several and getting the indexing right can be a real pain.

I came across this once.

 

I had to mark an index on the gear and on the day wheel.. then I used a bit of super-glue to 'tack' it in place.. didn't get it right so softened the super glue (cyanoacrilate CYA) with some actone, move it a bit more, using the index marks I made earlier..back and forth etc..  to about  5 tries.

 

I would think epoxy would be too thick, if the wheel ends up a bit thicker it will rub on the dial. Even using CYA I made sure I clamped the day-wheel assembly to ensure that it was as thin as possible.

To add.. i was getting a bit pissed as the marks I'd made didnt seem to be helping.. I was contemplating gluing a needle on the star wheel to give me an extended pointer to enable 'finer' movements, didn't have to in the end.

      Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.

      Hi,   My name is Simeon I am based in Sydney, Australia and have recently got into watch repair / watch making.  I am very much a learner having serviced multiple forgotten watches, some of which were actually successful!   I have a slowly growing collection of watches, mainly old Soviet, a few Japanese and (not pictured) some Raketas, a Poljot Alarm, an Omega Speedmaster Reduced and a vintage (1972) Tissot Seastar.  I like unloved vintage watches, with quirky faces and enjoy bringing them back to life through the simple(!) act of disassembly, clearing and reassembly. I am an Electrical Engineer who also undertook a trade apprenticeship so I am reasonably handy - It's fair to say, I know just enough to get myself in trouble.

      Citizen Cosmotron X8 04-4800 Fault finding

      By Simeon · Posted

      I took a chance on a non running Cosmotron X8 ("perhaps just needs a new battery" said the advert). Sure enough, I open it up and it has the wrong battery installed (a Renata 344 rather than the correct Renata 386) and the screws holding the battery contact had been sheared off to half a head on both ends. Ho ho, I thought - there's the problem. I got the broken screws out easily enough and as soon as I placed the correct battery in place the balance started. This picked up speed when I reinstalled one side of the battery contact and looked like it was a runner. As I was trying to get the replacement screws in, I did one side but the second was a bit of struggle (hold down the battery contact against its spring while dropping the screw in with tweezers) the balance stopped again. This time it wouldn't start again. 98 percent sure that I didn't stick anything, anywhere important or break it in a mechanical way. The battery was in place for most of the struggling with the contact, so it might have had an intermittent connection which could have upset the electronics. I tried giving it a puff with the blower but the balance doesn't seem to rotate in the normal way, it seems to be held in a static position by magnet. It can be pulled out of this position but spins back and stops dead. This may well be correct for all I know. Anyway, does anyone know anything about these watches and can tell me how I would go about and fault find this? I will be servicing it at some point so should be able to rule out mechanical issues from an old watch but not sure where to start with the electrical part of it.

      Seiko kinetic generator coil

      By DonEilenberger · Posted

      Sorry to reopen a necro-thread (long dormant) - I have a Seiko Kinetic 5M42A that needs at least one coil, possibly both. Anyone know of any sources?  The usual fallback of eBay has failed me - there are people selling coils, but not the ones for this movement (which was apparently a very popular movement, used in Seiko and Pulsa branded watches.) The coil numbers are: 4002 516,  and 4002 519 I'd also love to find a source for spares of the screws used all over this movement - they're Seiko PN 0022 247 Thanks! (Moderator - if this should be a new thread, please do feel free to tell me, or drag this one into a new thread.) Don Eilenberger
