Have stuck on this watch. It's a Pluton 2100 with a ESA 900.231 movement. Can't seem find out how to get the movement with the dial into the case? The pusher rods are in the way?  I now this a very delicate movements and don't want to destroy the movement that i now works okay? Anyone been working on this movements?  Pictures coming?

Can place the movement in the case if i don't have the dial there. This is the old movement. 

Donor watch with correct movement. Lucky find :)

And the movement can only be placed from one side of the movement holder. Usually you put the movement holder in afterwards. DSC08139.thumb.JPG.820d741aee3248792df43f5759195e1a.JPG

Found that the pushers where a little loose in the case. So i guess i remove them and put the new movement in. And just screw them back in. Maybe a  little threadlock on the threads to prevent them from loosing. Funny thing as they seem to be the same as Omega pushers. DSC08142.thumb.JPG.99f4736d8bb27787be0496f709efcec0.JPG

This is how the parts look. Not sure they stay in there and i have to remove the circiut on the movement so i can tighten it up properly? Or maybe use some kind of thead looking? What do you think? DSC08144.thumb.JPG.eaae00c0263c9a775d7f8600a20f3d0e.JPG

Would be a bad idea to replace the pusher gaskets and the crown as the seem to have done it's best. BUt where do i find a new crown with breitlig logo?

Do you have the size of the crown, I am happy to have a look if it is in my stock

That would be great . It's a screwdown crown. 6 mm x 4,4 mm .DSC08147.thumb.JPG.1e84c81cf74d71471b6ecbb11f149239.JPGDSC08146.thumb.JPG.3f13de121c1f0097811a15745318d465.JPG

Working again . Crystal is not aligned? But that is not anything i will do anything about. And i am not going to work on this kind of watches again. Pain in the .... 

The movement had a special locking screw that i couldn't transfer from the old to the new. But i works good when i crank down the case back. 

I will loctite the pushers when i see that the watch works okay.

      Hello everyone from Idaho. I started up the hobby about two years ago and love it. My latest repair, that I'm very proud of, is an Oris big crown pointer date 7400B. I'm excited to learn and to help out where I can.

      An update... I bought some 316 steel washers from McMaster Carr. For days I have been turning it to get to what you see in the image.  it is not done, of course.  the inside diameter of the top as shown is close. The washer is too thick, so I am gonna need to figure a way to make it thinner. Last week I had a long talk on the phone with @SwissSeiko and got some tips. He suggested Harbor Freight insertable carbide cutters. Wow, they work well. Miles to go before I sleep. Here is my setup

      Plastic gasket for Citizen case back.

      By Kab · Posted

      Hello all.  I've been working on a Citizen H145-S073545 radio controlled. There was a plastic gasket in between the case and case back. Putting it back together I used a press, witch I think was a mistake, because it cut the gasket open. I've been looking online for a replacement but not having much luck. I've tried a couple crysta gaskets but that didn't work.  Any ideas of where to find these gaskets? Thanks all.

      Loose pinion

      By mbwatch · Posted

      Yes I think blue thread locker would help you out here. You will lose the safety mechanism if the mainspring snaps, which risks damage to train wheel teeth. But your watch might run. You can maybe try inserting a hair inside the pinion and threading it on. That might give it just enough to grab hold without thread locker. Or a tiny piece of superfine copper wire, a strand from some stranded electronics wire.
