I purchased a Tissot visodate automatic seastar seven in working order at a bootfair. Im unable to get the back off to see its serial number!!! The instruction on the back states..." use key number 275 T " . Could anyone advise if tissot actually supply a key for these watches? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

When the words use key whatever appear on tissot watches they are front loaders the tricky bits removing the stem so you remove the glass hands dial and and look for the setting lever between the date ring and the outer case where the stem enters the case lift it a little with a small driver and the stem should pull out.

Isn't those stems split stems? The tool 275 is a crystal tool much like claw tool for crystals you could buy on ebay? It has a size of 275 mm. Had a set of those Tissot tools but sold it as i had now use for it? You can sometimes buy them on Ebay. 

Try pulling hard on the crown and see if the split stem comes out?

+1 CAD101.

I've had a couple of these in the past and in both cases they were one piece stems

Like CAD101 said the way into these is to remove the crystal and hands, and then lift the dial off (no screws for the dial feet, they are friction fit into the movement for this specific reason) to get access to the keyless works. You can then release the stem and withdraw it.

      Bezel replacement difficulty

      By Simeon · Posted

      The bezel feels slightly loose over the case. There wasn't a gasket but could the crystal be expanded over the lip in the caseback and then the bezel pressed over the crystal?  Actually this sounds like a possibility. This is a great forum. https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/20587-old-orient-case/?do=findComment&comment=173918

      Black coating on shock jewel metal housing

      The cleaner smells of ammonia, but it's not too bad; just keep it covered as far as practical.  I use an ultrasonic machine on a kitchen worktop. The rinse does not smell strongly, it's vaguely like paraffin. I did check the safety data sheets before buying it & it's said to be safe in normal use. My dedicated watch cleaning machine is still a work-in-progress; four position linear, based on 1L kilner jars for station spacing, to have a heated dryer in position 4. It uses standard, readily available parts as far as possible to make it easy to reproduce, plus 3D printed bits for the custom parts. (The horizontal drive motor is out at the moment while working on the stepper drive software)

      Citizen Pilot Radio Controlled hour's hand clearance

      By Albyon · Posted

      I disassembled the hands of my Citizen Pilot Super Titanium Radio Controlled AS2031-57E a couple of times.  The second time because on the first attempt i evidently did not push the hour hand well and in practice it was not well fixed and moved receiving even small bumps. After the second attempt everything seems to be ok.  Except that i have the impression that giving a little more sustained blows on the wrist, the hour hand still has a slight movement, in the order of half a second or less. It is a normal, topical and usual thing about this movement, which, i remind you, is exclusively electronically managed, each hand independently, a clearance in the movement that it has of its nature, or it may depend on the hand is not yet well attached to the pin and should perhaps be replaced because the hole has slightly enlarged?

      Balance staff sourcing?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      This is something a lot of beginners and amateurs struggle with Nev, being able to remove the staff without distorting the hole of a non steel balance wheel. Having the right tools to do this safely  and effectively is not easy. Even with something useful it takes a lot of practice, i spent two days not so long ago practicing cutting away the balance wheel hub of a staff using a 25mm diamond wheel.  I didnt manage to do it once without catching the underside of the wheel.

      Then you should have something that prevents the case from moving. I just bought one of these Seiko S-210 but haven't received it yet.
