old quartz omega and casio, battery replacement


Recommended Posts

Hello, currently I have two problems.
 First, with old quartz omega. I managed to open the case to replace the battery but this movement looks unfamiliar with me. When I snap its case off, the glass also come off. Therefore I can't put face on the desk directly to do my job. I'm not sure if it's same model as mine, but the looks is just like this.

Do I need to remove hands to replace the battery?  Or movement holder kind of things will help?

Second, with casio, G-SHOCK(sorry I forgot to note the model)

It's not that it's my first time to change batteries with G-SHOCK and I think I did it well.

But, when I close the case, the power go off automatically. Surely there's something wrong with it but I can't figure it out. When I hold the case loosely it's working, but when I put more stress into it, power's off again. I happened to close the case upside down, it's working well. But I'd like to know what's happening with it and fix it. Anyone help me out please. Thank you for reading.

I never seen an omega that you have to remove the hands to replace the battery on. The watch at TZ-UK has parts of the stem in the crown tube? If you look close? That is probably why he can't remove the case back? Why the crystal comes of i have no idea? Do you have any reference number on the case back?

In the Casio question, did you reset the movement by shorting the + with the AC (or equivalent)? Some quartz movements need to be reset...hopefully that Casio too, otherwise you are up a tree without a ladder...Casio parts and movements are next to impossible to source new...or used for that matter.

Sorry about this late respond and thank you for replying!

As it turned out I was just a dumb... Because the movement came up like this,  I was assuming I can't put this onto glass without case back, otherwise the hands and the dials touch the glass directly. I should've watch it more carefully.

By the way, The reference number is 591.014, if I got it correctly.

Yes, I did short + side and AC. But now things seems go worse. It doesn't work if I try to reset.

First I was going to do some pretty easy fix with this, but actually the problem seems beyond my capacity, I think I'll give up..

Thanks again for your helps!

BlueApple, sorry for the simile (or whatever it is called), but I think you are mixing apples and oranges! My answer was for the Casio G-Shock. I have no idea how to start on your Omega!

In any case, I don't think you should give up...but you know what is involved so I let the decision to you. We are here to help, just for you to know.

Cheers,

Bob

    • Ok so there is barely any response happening . After this last attempt i think I'm just going to give up on it because very few seem genuinely interested or even bothered or worried what may happen in the future. ( if someone can set me straight I'd love to hear it ) I would think anyone into watches has heard of Roland Ranfft, how they grew to love and depend upon his site for detailed information. And not just that, he also had a view about Ebay and everyone that visited Roland's site knew exactly what he thought about Ebay, Roland's site also had a secondhand watch sale side to it.  If anyone here could have done anything to preserve his site and keep it exactly the way it was.........Would you have done something to make that happen ?  Its been pointed out to me but not in so many words  that I'm probably coming across as an insensitive p.rick, truly I'm sorry about that, i say it as it is but no malice is intended and yes clearly I'm putting my forum membership on the line here. I'll happily shut up about it now, I've done all i can.
    • Thank you so much for posting this!  Although this movement is serviceable, there are no service notes that I've been able to find.  This is a great alternative!
    • Greetings from another electronics designer & programmer!   I suggest you get a batch of similar scrap movements from ebay - I found batches of Seikos very cheaply, I got seven of one type for £11 (or 11 Euros possibly?). Those were ladies, 4206B I believe. There are also mens movements at a slightly higher price; eg. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134723051997 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235565276549 They are cheap enough so it does not matter what gets messed up or lost & you can probably still get one or two working movements from a batch, even if some part are damaged when you get them. (I've had quite a bit from the guy in Holland, he usually has a good range of movements).  
    • Please OH, we should all be proud of our collections what ever they are. If we can't show them off here then we can't show them anywhere. Our favourite gives us a story to tell of why we love it, that story also tells others something about ourselves. These are some of the things that make our forum and our community so amazing .
    • I can take pictures when I am home of what it looks like.  They will be phone picture as I don't have a camera in my microscope yet but I should be able to take a few views to give a good idea of the damage.
