Looks like the crown has snapped between the two gaskets? Could be a problem . And could mean that the stem is still intact? And the olny thing you need is a new crown? Which probably isn't that easy to find? Problem is getting it out? As the first gasket is in there making it harder to remove the stem? 

Maybe? http://www.thewatchlab.co.uk/2012/02/03/breil-watch-straps-repairs-uk/

Aren't they part of the same group that also owns Goldsmiths ? [emoji4]

No problem [emoji106]
Details sent as well as the pic of the watch so belts and braces.
A while back I paid around €10 just for postage on a stem sent from just outside Rome so expect a higher than normal postage cost.

Bad news I'm afraid....

Got a reply back from Italy.

"Buongiorno, 

la referenza è un po' datata, la sua corona originale è esaurita.
La casa da' in alternativa una corona un po' piu' grande da adattare e sarebbe da sostituire il canotto sulla cassa ( non fornito) al costo di €15.00 .

Questo è un lavoro che potrebbe fare un suo orologiaio di fiducia .

Ci faccia sapere se è interessato o preferisce far adattare altro.

saluti"



Roughly translated....



Good morning,

The reference is a little dated, the original crown is out of stock.
The manufacturer offered an alternative crown a bit bigger to fit but he need to replace the case tube (not supplied) at a cost of € 15.00.

This is a job that a trusted watchmaker could do.

Let us know if he is interested or he prefers to fit other.

regards

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
