Hugo Boss Rebuild


Recommended Posts

A very special thanks to Mark for his instructional video on replacing a Seiko quartz movement.

Right I've always fancied one of these watches but wasn't prepared to pay a lot for one. Being a fashion watch, god knows what your buying.

One came up on Ebay as a non runner and with a shattered crystal. So after obtaining at a reasonable cost I striped it down and was surprised and pleased to find a Hattori VD57 High Hand movement. After obtaining a replacement the watch is now in good working order.

Some pics and short video. d41989cd9e9ce5a06fa105aa5fe06697.jpgc08b08c1257d5e501ae057fa0c2840eb.jpghttps://vimeo.com/158343293

    • Hi @nevenbekriev, I'm thinking of replacing the whole platform. Mine is marked 4-82. The seller has 4-69, 4-71 and 4-72. Will any of them fit my clock?
    • What you are showing most of it is missing. Just looked on ebay this is the best machine I ever had. I have had a few machines in my time. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285902116112?itmmeta=01J0EW3685DS3DXFT0YK1M6CRW&hash=item4291181510:g:eRgAAOSwKBpmZsMW&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0KMFnc%2BwDg6kFufauQZxMmo%2FXMOZUb8B8ZtxalJPVcGZYl0sjSXjgIHEyZ0dvGY57wsEJupTrvZkGyRH5A8KGf8GYSzSXE1F8VMaR5oJYP%2FgVmvU5QSidrbXULj3h1iqvptGXGVfko2HM%2BWKK5XSOE9Ek1FPwkVOi9p%2FbmX7FAp7Cr0GbUjAovPOI1QZdyc7ChZLNJiGQAsjfz4FzJAz8mvLKL2xwXGtbmhYf4l0BU7gQRLQ%2BHfKogEt5AO3xlR2F6fZxjNi5iB3W4RY7n7HniE%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5bkjNyDZA There is also this one.  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176424434347?itmmeta=01J0EW3685CBSTMC6HZCD24VJA&hash=item2913b73aab:g:WcIAAOSwm-ZmS3vn&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0G7k%2FSuYiX%2Fhn1xO9kSpOZnqO525%2FC29sG7K0LRkRyzClvecttiEGFWe4ZOrXR42I6LCP9RSWPjnOdr3wzuhofuIAI%2FUhHq2VwPDTLpy5M%2FATDlCvUueqPlNL9%2FXBOJx8HpxavHbrw%2Bz3%2FW9YOil2nq5U%2BRfu10yBilLrFeJeCi8kZL6gcrIOnReTuh1tO%2F4XG0uVDr0Y9Vze27CMKpR2cb8I%2Fqyt%2FHVXS2tMu7x%2FJTfOTzw85wzUpt5WeVLCcV7MKpGytwVesyPs9t4g05KWLk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5LkjNyDZA Another  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196429850292?itmmeta=01J0EW3686SKPN1WSF129KR20N&hash=item2dbc21a6b4:g:~7kAAOSw41pmYXfG&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8Cj5grIbnKC5SFi%2B0%2B83GgokdKXHur9QvJ%2FKnte%2FDar5L9PoB%2BFs%2BcOti9BkDgCd7r9vBSG%2BINHCtprmUtKJC%2BA%2BPKBEQbgYVt3mp3VVi%2Bk4sX6%2BlrwoSZD5wW8btH8YRQbvBTo1y%2BfAZWhBN7dBbOncVlsDPeIQnxhoX27onRA0cOkqJwaB95xhK9lIUZ1qHeMb8J58cmLfmy4dt7HuQOMQ%2BIJCz9Yd96Kw1SyprG90yB2wCUd4dshpzK0z1cSX7dvHPy7ZTn1GJL2Zs%2B1j630ZPwEeSwTsxDtKUuLTyPx20SE37XD%2Fllg2llakO7AH7g%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5jkjNyDZA More https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176410156286?itmmeta=01J0EW3686RHQ5CNHDSSZ17QW0&hash=item2912dd5cfe:g:nJIAAOSwnztmYEVF&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0I56oof2IHqmGAwUUoqpoIM971obYtQeElg%2B7X8PL9CG7PXDtCKgovcgq7uu5OcLTmZRDSf3qiSuZUxZKafLo08I4OHEYDa3uMi4jKcAYZJq2M3kDK3utnODNLx9VN0swZqGi7KVdVzrAMV7V4UCF7eUBpAYJizdbSyxbnCgnAStxQEdBuBroTbPzj6%2B79HetBmFknueT9%2BfLRePi6y0LMN0VsDG3yEstvRHKW%2BlC5LNWgWnweQwAy8qDPKW9lfFRnI%2FDzLbLI3yCPT3NClmGYQ%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5jkjNyDZA Make sure it comes with the jars and basket. Members on here have restored some dilapidated machines and the look like new.  
    • Just in case You didn't notice this: The jewej is broken and no wonder, the decision of the movement designer is a little strange here.
    • Well I've gone ahead & used an epoxy resin - applied with an oiler - on the missing rivet holes to see if that stabilises the loose metal piece which incorporates the ÷ve battery connection. So far it seems to have done the trick  - my wife has dropped it on the table attempting to put it on & worn it overnight & it's carried without missing a beat.
    • Hello everyone, this will be my first proper walkthrough and also my most complicated watch yet. A beautiful JLC Memovox E875 ("Speed beat") with calibre 916. This is the first of several posts: disassembly. You'll see my order of disassembly and close-ups of all the screws. Those are the main points. If there's anything particular, I'll write a comment. Otherwise the pictures are hopefully self-explanatory.   Here's the beauty before disassembly:   Ready to go with nicely dressed tweezers... also, screw slots are generally very thin so I also dressed all screwdrivers to very fine tips.       inside of the caseback has a little knob that is hit by a hammer to create the alarm sound. Movement complete. before any disassembly, you can already see the magic level system of the automatic works I start by taking off the rotor. rotor underside rest of automatic works with three blued screws. magic lever system balance first.. identical stems.    two case screws     retention ring holds the gasket   hands off and some dial-porn   dial feet screws are nicely positioned so you can hold the movement in one position and access both at the same time. Thanks, JLC!   both dials off   let power down before this point!   driving wheel for ratchet wheel / kinda-reversing wheel   the alarm system       train bridge   I take the opportunity to remove the clutch wheelS and sliding pinionS. Again, both are identical. Nice.   back to the train barrel can come out without damaging the center wheel. But careful.  underside of the bridge with TWO crown wheels. NOTE: one "seat" is missing. Its absence has cause some damage to the bridge. I had indeed felt some resistance when winding the alarm barrel and it was one reason why I wanted to service it.. Part 414 is ordered from eBay.      Barrel says "do not open". A whole other thread is devoted to this, see here:         let's do the dial side:   this spring was hard to get out. only an oiler would squeeze under it. the date wheel can stay assembled like this (no disassembly shown in the manual) previous watchmaker liked oil a lot. the alarm activation wheels lots of wheels..   also part of the alarm system   pretty cool how the two keyless works are kind of the same and with some overarching parts damn, this spring was hard to get out. canon pinon and then the center wheel i remove balance jewels on both sides for thorough cleaning and reinstall the balance for cleaning.               alarm barrel is normal (no "do not open").   the main barrel takes some nerves to open, but does so just fine. However, the edge of the barrel (where it holds the lid) is burnished a bit. I'm smoothing it out with the pointy end of a bracelet tool. This will allow the lid to go back in without problems. I'm planning on burnishing it over again when the new mainspring is installed. work in progres. done
