Anyone changed a crystal on a Scubapro 500?  Haven't got it yet but doing some investigation how to find a gasket . I think it's a o-ring. As it failed the pressure test . Hope the movement works as i have recently serviced it. And didn't get wet from the leaking gasket.

By far most watches of this type are friction fitted so I'm sure this one won't be an exception. You should check the cousins website and you'll find there both the crystal (whichever type it may be) and the gasket for it.

As far as i now there is no Scubapro parts at cousinsuk?  The crystal is attached about the same as a Seiko 7c43 . This is one of my watches that has the same construction.  As you see the crystal ring is screwed on. under there must be a gasket. Time will tell how and with what the crystal is sealed. And if i can find a new gasket? DSC08510.thumb.JPG.c8ee951e0d7c7ce665b025af357f5e90.JPG

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Chief · Posted

      Thanks Geotex, From what I can see the keyless works on mine is completely different to those in the photo, I had a bit of a Google and it looks like it's called a rocking bar?? I can't seem to find a single match online though. As far as the setting lever screw goes, you've just explained what I'm doing wrong and why it was probably left out in the first place. It needs to go in before the bridge 🙃. That's why the hole isn't big enough because it's designed to be smaller to stop the screw falling out until the bridge is removed. Thank you for that! I'll remove the bridge tonight and get it refit.

      Accutron 218 transistors

      The term "digital transistor" is not a term of art--at least in the modern world.  A lifetime ago, there was such a thing as DTL (Diode Transistor Logic).  Resistors were involved, but I am not aware that they were ever integrated into the transistor package.

      Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank
