Hello Forum!

Recently I've come into possession of this wristwatch and I'm desperately trying to find a way to make the strap bigger so it can fit my wrist. It belonged to my grandfather, who very recently passed away, and I'd like to continue using it. The watch isn't an expensive one, although it looks well made, and I think he bought it at ALDI.

Any help I can get would be appreciated very highly! I've attached a few images of the piece and below is all the information I have on it, I'm looking for just a few links to make the strap bigger.

The watch model is - SEMPRE 36 / AE6-AU112

Serial Number - PO7319,PLU 72260

Thanks, KD

Hi and welcome.

I don't think you'll have much luck trying to the links you require.  I would suggest having a look on EBay for a new bracelet that closely resembles the one fitted.  You should find one that is not too expensive.

Your best luck would be a 'clasp extender' a lot of repairers don't even really know about them, but I know that UK watch repair supplier, cousins, provides extensions that can be fitted on to the clasp that effectively makes the strap bigger. They can be a little tricky to fit but I've done this for customers many times, it works well enough.

Also you have another problem, the second hand has fallen off.

      Hi. I have been touching watches for quite some years, but haven’t before pretty recently decided to jump of the cliff by trying to do basic service for the first time. It is a simple Seiko 6602 I bought as a renovation movement.  To be honest I struggled. Mainly because I wanted to do everything correctly and with all the right tools etc from the start.  From just having basic tools I invested in quite a lot of things in order to dissemble, clean and lubricate the movement parts. I can say it was a journey.  Taking care of the balance jewels looks really easy watching all the great videos, but god damn… I have been lucky and only shot away things that was found but come on. Anyway. I have now managed to “service” four movements and the result is what makes me want to keep doing this.    The first movement was a Seiko 6602 and it was in a pretty bad shape. When I run it on the Timegraoher now I got an amplitude of 270 and in all positions it stays around +-2s.    I have heard some “amateurs” saying this is a hobby you’ll get stuck to and I am already there. It doesn’t matter if it’s a fancy movement or a simple 6602. The feeling after been struggling and you see the result… it’s amazing! I am still in a state where I am confused and don’t know which watch press tool is best, or if I need the most fancy hand tools etc, but to be honest. This is so stimulating.    Sorry for not really adding anything new to you all pros.

      Casio normally put the movement number of the case back. Edit So it's a 709 Module (as Casio call then) you're looking for.

      So to me you'd do more harm trying to remove that existing tube. Unfortunately nothings coming to mind at the moment as an east fix while keeping the screw down crown.
