Hi everyone, 

I own a Victorinox which has a lose hand, it got deatached somehow, I think because of a small fall. 

Foyself a tool for opening the back of the case (I am really noob at this) but that is as far as I could go since I dont see any of the deataching levers shown in most of the tutorials on the internet.

I attached images of the watch so you can point me which screw/lever/pin/whatever should be moved in order to remove the crown. If it is something very critical that could damage the clock I will take it to a specialized place, but I really would like to do it myself.

Thanks, and greetings from Uruguay

You should be able to pull the stem out to the time setting position. Then, check inside the hole indicated by the red arrow. You should be able to press gently in there with a piece of pegwood while gently pulling on the stem to remove.

sstakoff, thanks a lot for your quick reply, as soon as I get home today I will try it that way. 

For placing it back what procedure should I perform?

To install, insert the stem until you feel resistance. Then depress the tab within the same hole as before - gently. As you depress, gently push and turn the stem until it is seated. If you feel like you're using too much force, then you probably are! Be careful as you could damage the movement.

Kind of related, you may want to get a strap of the correct size, to avoid future damages. 

Also be cautious with the pale green and orange 'coils' they're very sensitive and easy to damage.

Ok, done, watch is fixed now, thanks you for the help!

Actually I was not wearing the watch when it fall, and I wasn't using it because I couldn't find a strap here in my country... As a country that has more cows than people it sounds pretty weird, but I saw no leather straps anywhere, just chinese fake leather ones...

The new strap is arriving from the US in a couple of days. And I was very careful with the coils not to even touch them. Thanks for the advice

      Rare Seiko 5actus Watch??!! With a lot🤪🤔😲

      By Kkramme · Posted

      Interesting issue that I just noticed: this Seiko 5actus Watch from 1977 has a calibre listing on the dial of 7019-8030R but on the case back it says 7019-8010!! Like a mis-printed coin, is this watch therefore worth a lot of money for its rarity?? 🤪😲🤔🤪

      I wish that was the case. The Aegler movements used in the early days by Wilsdorf & Davis (for brands like Rolex and Rolco) came in several sizes and without designated calibre numbers that survive.  They become a bit easier to identify during the 1920s. Below is an Aegler-Rebberg, 25.74mm in diameter. It’s from a woman’s Rolex wristwatch. Stamped Rebberg and 500 on the dial plate (but it isn’t a Rebberg 500, it’s the wrong size).  I’d be interested if anyone can identify the movement.  It is based off the Aegler Nr.1, circa 1903, but they based many many calibres of different sizes on it. The closest I have to a positive ID is the  ‘Rolex Nr.50’ circa 1917, but no dial side images or movement sizes are available in the references. There are identical looking movements in many sizes.  The 25.74mm of this movement is a particularly strange size for the era, it equates to 11.41 lignes.      Best Regards, Mark

      FHF70 balance jewels settings

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      It looks like this movement comes with a number of different shock settings. Emmywatch shows that it comes in versions with no shock settings, 'Incabloc', 'shock resist', and 'Supershock'. Perhaps the different settings position the impulse jewel/roller table in a non-ideal position relative to the pallet fork/guard pin. Are you able to check under high magnification if the pallet fork and roller table are able to operate without any interference? Just for fun I took a look and I have one FHF 70 in my collection, a West End Secundus with a non-shock protected FHF70. I had a note with the watch that said, "Movement is stamped 'FHF 70', but the FHF70 looks to have sub-seconds instead of center seconds movement (??)" but that a google search turned up both types for this movement. EDIT: I just took a look in my parts drawer and I have a few of these movements, both in center seconds and sweep seconds, but they all are non-shock protected.

      Sterling fusee info wanted.

      By markr · Posted

      Any info on this watch would help. I know that it's sterling from London but I could not match the o letter date or make out makers mark.  Is the movement maker Camberwell or Lamberwell?   If I give it a twist it will run for about ten seconds.  $45 yard sale find.  I don't think that I want to service a fusee.  What quality is it?
