Hi all,

I need to replace the glass of an Enicar watch, which has a marked ring on the inside.

The glass is an acrylic, domed, snap in, 31mm diameter.

I bought a standard glass but the ring did not fit inside.

The ring is 30mm diameter, 1 mm thickness.

I found the sternkreuz ST is sold by 2 diameters(inside outside) , which is what I need, but I'm not sure about the height of it.

Does anybody know if I can fit this 1mm ring inside?

Cousins does not want to give me the info...

Thanks a lot in advance! 3281a70c9c7825d6a6103775677f4e30.jpg

That is always hard to find. Have had that problem a few times. Last was now when i repaired a Atlantic compressor . That had a stepped ring inside. Where the dial should sit. The old ring would work so i came up with a trick that i used before. i turned the ring inside out. Making the dial center on the bezel and sit a little lower. Works nice and you can't see that i have turned it from the outside. 

Try tiptopcrystal also.  He has GS and Stella crystals.

It finally worked with a little bit of sandpaper on the edges, to facilitate the insertion...but now another issue: does anybody see the pin to unlock the stem? I opened the watch long ago and I forgot how I did it!;)8580ac8517cb852c68bcbde6cf85fa1a.jpg

It's one of the screws near the stem.

Watch them when you pull out the stem, the correct one will move slightly.

Just remember, 1 to 1.5 turns ONLY to release stem. Too much and it's dial off time.

      30T2 adjustment of timing washers

      By Knebo · Posted

      OK! I was able to get a nice set of timing washers from ebay! And they worked really well. I needed to slow down the movement by about 6min and I put four (=two pairs) of 3-minute washers (rated for the the size of the movement) and it did pretty much exactly that. On one pair of screws, there were already washers. So I added a second washer on those screws. Maybe not ideal, but it doesn't cause any problems. Poise is ok.. not perfect.. but I had so many issues with the watch that I decided to accept it. It's a 90-year-old watch. Delta is around 40 seconds.

      Chronograph Pusher Rod for EB8371-67 Snapped and Stuck in Button. Can't Unscrew.

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      I think it is friction fit, there are tools to remove them, cheaper versions are available. You could try adapting some pliers, see my crap drawing.  The pushers are available in various sizes, you could measure once the tube is removed.

      Is this pallet fork over-locking?

      By Malocchio · Posted

      The entry jewel's not as bad but seems still too much lock. I do epilame the escape wheel and pallet jewels, then run dry for about 15 minutes, then put 9415 in exit jewel very little at a time and check with backlight how the oil's distributed.  Another question is about capped escape wheels. Should I somehow wear the epilame off the pivots before installing the wheel? I normally let the escape wheel run dry for that said 15 minutes when there's no cap jewel.

      Bezels - What am I doing wrong?

      By Malocchio · Posted

      Sometimes there's a certain place under the bezel where the case knife is supposed to be placed. In this borrowed pic there's a small crack at 3 o'clock.

      Bezels - What am I doing wrong?

      By Waggy · Posted

      Hi my fellow forum addicts, I'm writing this as I seem to have a hole in my knowledge (probably one of many!) I seem to have a horrible time removing bezels from watches. I am talking about the rotating type on sports/diving watches. I see many videos where the guy on screen barely inserts the case knife under the bezel and with no effort it pops off easily, then at the end it clicks back into place by hand with no effort. I am sure that part of this is due to skillful video editing, but I seem to wrestle with them, I have tried case knives and  even when using the tool below, I tighten it up in several positions and nothing happens. On a many occasions I have even warped the bezel in my attempts to remove it. Similarly, I have issues replacing bezels after cleaning etc. and often they have to be replaced using a press tool and inevitably are far too tight and will not rotate or loose to the point where they fall off or loose their click (perhaps due to micro warping when I tried to remove??). It is now to the point where I am actually avoiding watches with bezels as my success rate with them is terrible......please help!! In short I am asking: What am I doing wrong? What is the best method for removing bezels - how do you do it? What is the best method for replacing bezels - how do you do it? Any tips or tricks? Thanks
