They hold the bezel in a Casio mma-200w and I don't have a part number or anything to go by. I have searched everywhere in vain. Any help to locate at least one is deeply appreciated!

PS. Hopefully, more than one since I lost the other one. It pinged into nothingness! :thumbsd: There is a saying about ordering always 3 because only one will make it to the watch!!!

Most helpful, Geo, so they are rivets after all! (now I'm confused two "b's" or one "v", maybe because they are small! :) )  -- a local joke I guess and terrible spelling...

 

Thank you for the link and the info, much appreciated. So, if I were to order some, what is the customary measurement I need?

They are not rivets Bob. Rivets are hammered to make them expand and hold parts together. Drive screws are hardened and are hammered into a hole that is just slightly smaller than the drive screw. They go in with a twisting action, and if you are careful, can be removed with an anti-clockwise rotary movement.

I see, that's why I almost damaged the slot while trying to get at the bezel spring! Never too old to learn I guess. Thanks for the explanation Geo. I will be posting a pic of the end result once I finish this proyect...and with due credits!

    • Nice interesting diver Razz, i have a sheffield dress watch, different movement altogether. Could be a wrong motion works part, how does the setting feel before fitting the cannon pinion, clutch and intermediate wheel meshing ok ?  The less traditional setting design could be suspect, the second wheel has a slip clutch assembly, that most likely needs looking at. LA is 42 ° Razz Tbh i  much prefer to call the complete unit the lever, then use the seperate names for all of its components. Such as guard pin, fork, fork horns, fork slot, lever arm, pallets , pallet arms, pallet slot, pallet stones. I suppose pallet fork is the combination of the two opposite ends that make up the lever, its also called the anchor which is descriptive of its appearance.  Its a pretty basic 1930s  swiss lever movement H and yes Nev was meaning the pallet fork.
    • The pallet fork should really be called a lever, English lever, Swiss lever etc but most people including myself call it a pallet fork.
    • Seiko have case numbers, I  can't see it on your photos.  If you can find that we can look for a genuine crown.  If not, you need to measure the diameter of the stem, the distance between the lugs and the depth of the lugs.  The case number will be something like this. 
    • I'm not sure what kind of movement this is, but I'm curious to know if you're using the word "lever" as a synonym for "pallet fork"?
    • Actually kind of rough, maybe munute wheel pinion problems? Is the 2.73mm canion oinion which seems rarer and not availble on Cousins UK. The seconds hand works and suprising nice amplitude but don't know the lift angle and BE this one says 17 j but is a pin pallet as well. Cap jewels on the escape and drive train pivots. Interestingly in has both water proof and shock resistant on the caseback and dial. Puts this around 1969 or '70? The double bezel that works independently is cool has the pi symbol on each. Wonder if it can be used like a slide rule ir something...
