I just got this ladies Omega cal 684. The problem is the snap on case back is very hard to remove. Each time has taken me about 5 mins with my case back tool, and after a struggle, it pinged off about half a metre in the air. I cleaned and examined the parts, all looks in good condition, with no damage and nothing bent. So I tried again - 5 mins and PING. As the back is only 19mm diameter there's not as much flex as on a larger movement. I'm thinking of putting the back in my mini chuck, in the drill, and run round the inner edge with a fine file or wet and dry. Thoughts? The weapon of choice : A good idea ?

Doesn’t really work for this, really it needs to be an invite only platform with good moderation. Full disclosure I spent a fair amount of my career as an IT/Network security consultant and am very touchy about what I may release on ‘tinterwebs. Tom

A better solution than having a list that will be compromised for spam would be to have a contact email. In other words an emergency email or even for that matter as separate website for emergency use as opposed to we all list out our names and emails and get spammed to death as there would be almost no way to protect that from bad people.

Thanks for the various replies. Here are answers to some of the questions/suggestions switching the winding shafts doesn’t work because the no7 I need is significantly larger than the bore of the no6. i do have a set of chinese winders too, but as noted they’re movement specific and none fit the bill here. I don’t want to replace the mainspring a)because I like to keep things as original as possible and b)where I live it’s tough to import parts so i have to wait long periods between supplies so in conclusion I expect to be handwinding the spring this weekend
