I have a Watch that has a Day/Date on the dial, when I pull the crown out to adjust the day/date only the day changes, the date will not change at all.  So when the watch runs the day and Date do not change, can you point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

 

The only things I have done with watches is to change battries, and replace the workings and Crystals/Glass and repair straps, so be gental with me, thanks in advance.

Hi David,

 

What watch is it? If it was a Seiko (or Seiko movement) I would point at the plastic gear that is in charge of changing the day. Those can be damaged when they get stuck. Other movements may have other issues depending on how the day/date complication works...

      Elgin Grade 315: Runs/stops with dial down/up

      By docrpm · Posted

      Calipers are so that I can measure how much I’ve bent the bridge (if at all). I plan on being very conservative in my application of force, and if I’m only bending by tenths of a mm, I can easily imagine not applying enough force to bend it at all.

      Just to refresh my memory why do we need calipers for bending the bridge?

      Thermal Bluing Issue

      By mbwatch · Posted

      Are you certain the screw was not plated with nickel in the first place? Polishing the head may remove the plating and expose the steel to oxidizing while the rest of the screw is protected from oxidation. I have made this mistake... An unplated unpolished screw will turn blue but not look very nice. I agree about the container. It is much too big and acting as a heat sink. To get decent results I kept reducing my pan until I settled on a 3cm steel cup. At the end of this thread is what I ended up using over a flame. Not exactly useful on a hot plate though. https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/30935-bluing-hands-with-a-spirit-lamp/#findComment-264421

      Minute repeater, stem and crown missing

      I've found a few similar with this first one being the most similar. I think the second one answers your question about the stem tube. https://empress.cc/products/1920s-rueff-freres-lugrin-minute-repeater-18k-gold-swiss-pocket-watch

      The make do stem has a turned round shaft at the bottom, a little higher is the square but slightly tapered shaft, this fits in to the setting mechanism but only friction tight. The stem isn’t long enough to go right through the case so can only test and wind out of the case. In normal position the stem winds and if you push the hand setting lever (at 4 position) this separates the setting mechanism and the hands can be set, pushing the same lever back disengages it and it goes back in to the normal position. im unsure how the stem in this movement is prevented from dropping out, there are no threads in the crown shaft for a screwed sleeve.
