Hi everyone,

 

  I have an Armani AR-4606 which loose the hands and now throwing around the watch glass.  After watching the repair channel vidoes, I would like to fix it on my own.

 

  Unlucky, I can only un screw the back but I cannot find anyway to depth down open the watch and touch the surface.  Did someone have any idea or can show me the light?  It will be highly appreciated.

 

I have attached a picture below for ref.

Hi Jerry,

              That looks like a very nice watch and is far too good to be practising on. I would have it repaired by a professional and buy some very cheap watches from Ebay to practice on, when you can take them apart and put them back together then it might be time to move onto something better.  Watch repairing takes a long time to learn and you cannot run before you can walk, practice, practice and more practice is the key to success.

 

Nearly forgot,  Welcome to the forums.

It's probably cased from the front, a lot of Armani's are (not handled one identical to yours though) you've already removed the stem so your half way there, turn it over and see if the bezel will pop off. You can also get a good feel for if what I am saying is correct by gaging if the dial is larger than the opening in the case back!

Hi Jerry,

 

Welcome to the forum, I'm inclined to agree with autowind it would be a shame to spoil a nice watch for lack of practice,

 

also worth considering, you really need to use decent tools it's still possible to spoil a nice watch by using cheap tools.

 

Good luck whichever road you go down !

 

Good advise from Lee also !    :)

Hi everyone,

 

  Thanks for reply and advise.  Indeed, I have quoted the charge and it's half price of my watch.  That's why I decided to make it on my own.

 

Lee,

 

  Yes.  This is genuine one.  And I have the gut feeling for what you said.  So, I am still struggle how to open it at the top.  BTW, thanks a lot for your advise.

      Chinese clone demagnetizers

      I'm guessing, but this commercial demag machine maybe produces random magnetic fields to re-randomise  the iron particles. So heres one for you, synthetic rubies are coloured predominantly with chromium oxide . But natural rubies and old synthetic watch rubies were also coloured with iron oxide in higher percentages than chromium oxide. Which gave them a degree of.................🤔

      I've never had a hairspring distort on me by passing the movement or just the balance in a plastic pot over this demagnetiser. Have you seen how fast a cleaning machine spins to spin-off fluid and that does no harm to a hairspring. I was a little concerned when I first used it, thinking it might be too strong, but I was wrong. It is strong, but it does no damage. I pass the part over the demagnetiser and keep going for about an arms length, so about a metre, to properly demag the part.

      I don't think you would be able to find spare parts. Your best bet would be to get a new movement from eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256508500506?itmmeta=01HY3M863PSA61GK7B859QCWTE&hash=item3bb9191a1a:g:ubgAAOSwrJJgPP-s&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4DxWhpiQiz2ZjKpm3PS%2FHPh4IafsSzMWEobc2q4qQWgPGMZ8kCR8y2PRsm7GE31FjeSDYSWcEyGlrpZEdQyyzOSgsgsaPjbP7dYmK8r49Nh%2BEtSqDDIZ8Tbp3vvX035fFXgcjc1GEH8l%2FOWJ9aTeWNGzeBgUwqyhJ3ZSXji50TQr6rd38Sqwaqsj2oc51UVKqqIKySKTfxVB7X09EXcJsmeYc5GCdVODNkb02q2RsxfSIzpgl9dFCmW1Ih%2BPg2j2NziSELg5AfaHl%2FPU2Zn9fNnoVN1Z1NUAREyh2BCubcWC|tkp%3ABk9SR_bhoPTwYw

      Here's a thought. Try unscrewing the bezel and the crystal. If you have one of those sticky balls for undoing casebacks, I would give that a try.

      Citizen Eco-Drive E870 movement issues

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Last week I noticed my Eco-drive's second hand was stopped at 12 o'clock. I left it in the sun for a few days and no change, so I figured it was time to replace the rechargeable battery. I've had this guy for at least 15 years. Replaced the battery and the seconds hand moved to about 5 o'clock and stopped there. I let it sit for a day in the sun, no change. I took the battery out and tested it, and it's at 1.4v. The old one was at 1.0v. I'd like to test if it's charging. I've been looking around for diagnostic info, but only been able to find the owner's manual. Anyone have a reference for it?
