Trying to get my wifes Raymond Weil watch up and running, I have changed the battery and it is now running, The date also changes ok.

However the crown should come out 1 stop for date (which it does) and 2 stops for time change. I cannot get it to come out to the 2nd stop and I dont want to force it.

Thoughts anyone?  My limitations to date are replacing batteries and straps.

Check the position of the caseback, if it's crooked or upside down or anything like that then the groove inside isn't lining up with the stem and that can cause issues like this. Consider having a watch technician maintain this watch in the future.

Vinn3...  Yes I only want to adjust the time.

Ishima,... you were 100% correct the caseback was slightly out, I refitted and time now adjusted.

Thanks all for the replies and help in sorting this for me.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      Hah! Well, California will have to do. Lived in TX for a brief period back in the early 70s, though, so maybe that counts. 🙂 Funny you should mention making vacuum tubes- I've actually tinkered with that! It's REALLY tough to do, and I've never made one more complicated than a simple diode that barely worked, but I have played around at it. But there's just no infrastructure for vacuum tube fabrication. I can get a lathe and learn how to use it to make complex parts, and while it might take a while to learn- and money to get the equipment, of course- it is possible to do more or less "off the shelf". But vacuum tubes, not so much. There are a few folks out there doing some crazy cool work with bespoke tubes, but they have setups that are far beyond what I can manage in my environment and it's mostly stuff they built by hand. I also have been playing with making piezoelectric Rochelle Salt crystals to replace ancient vacuum tube turntable needles- nobody's made those commercially for probably 60 years. I'm a sucker for learning how to do weird things no one does any more so I can make things no one uses work again. (I think this is drifting off the topic of lathes, lol).

      You shoulda been born in Texas. Tough to make a vacuum tube though. You can substitute with a MOSFET eq ckt I guess. I was playing around making a pinion the other day. More to it than meets the eye.

      Replacing crystal, do I need a bezel tool?

      By zx6rfool · Posted

      Well, turns out it was a fake bezel! The crystal is domed mineral glass and I was able to find a cheap replacement that should be here in two days.  I used my crappy little press to pop out the cracked crystal, Ill give the case a good cleaning in the meantime and do a once over on the movement.
