Hello. I'm having trouble with this watch. First of all does this type of pin have a certain name? I messed up with install a pin and it broke, so I want to get a new one if I can.

Sorry about unclear picture, there's a little cut on the top, but it's not screw, just a cut. and as far as I see, it doesn't have a sleeve either.

This might be an unusual one, but I'd like to know if there's a terminology for it.

Also, I was able to come off the pin no problem, but then I can't put it back.
To me, it just need to push it back with pin puncher and hammer. But the thick part didn't fit and I accidentally broke the head after all.

Maybe I just did it for wrong direction. I set the pin from opposite direction of the arrow just like common cotter pins.  I'll check out an other link tomorrow.
Thanks for reading.

welcome to the forum.  " a pin pusher"  that  would be a "pin punch"  they come in sets.   you will find one punch with a diameter less than your pin. or you can make one..   carry on; - good luck. vinn

what you broke i think is called a split pin.



The arrows under the links show the direction to remove the pins.

When removing, the end with the split comes out first when pushing in the direction of the arrow.

Thanks everyone! Although I haven't had time to try yet. I'll write it when I did.

Yes, because it didn't look like one of those cotter pins which are familiar with me, I was wondering if there's other way to set it.

Finally, I had time for it and was able to install them. The thing was, it's not one of those common cotter pins, not flexible. I needed to tighten the tips with plier beforehand.

Anyway thanks for the help!

      Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.

      Message board problem

      By Mark · Posted

      Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

      As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
