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.

Sorry mean upside down. Not inside out.

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.

      Next is to drill the screwhole this then provides an anchor point so the bridge doesnt slip around while scribing the shape. A cork lid, a pin and a piece of gaffer tape ( 😅 ) keeps it all in place. The hole is measured from the broken part using a hand measuring gauge. Mark the hole, punch it and drill it off to size. The awkward bit is working out where the jumper should be and the detent positions.  I remember watching a youtuber a while back do this with dividers, so i dug out my old school compasses and improvised a little. This bridge only has one hole and to find the detent positions you need two points of reference, so i just worked the second point from one of the corners, hopefully its near enough. Then scribe in the jumper using the two detent positions ( wind and time set ) that were marked and a big picture of the complete spring to look at that helps to give you a feel of where the jumper should be.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      Right now I'm making do with a similar micrometer (the one below is $45 shipped but you can find better deals) and a $20 stand. You do have to be excruciatingly careful measuring jewels, since there's no table, but if you don't have the $500 to throw around, it's a nice option.

      As  I kid, I'd watch Godzilla stomping over buildings and cars and I'd think to myself: Tokyo is a really dangerous place to live... . Cool watch!!

      Next one up an AS 554, looks like a bit more to this one. First job is to check thickness, most springs are somewhere between .3 and .4, this one measures .35, that matches in with the .4 spring steel i ordered. So for marking up a permanent marker comes in handy to colour up the steel to be marked later with a scriber once its dry. Bestfit provide the extra bit of info for the jumper spring that is missing.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      Thanks again, Marc.  Super helpful. I was wondering what the hole was for, and now it makes perfect sense. With your help and the other members here, it looks like I'm good to go with my Seitz tool set. I had to order some replacement pushers, but with those, the set is complete and in good condition. Now, I need to figure out what tool to buy to measure jewels (amongst other watch-related parts). I had my eye on the JKA Feintaster micrometers, but people get crazy bidding on them for $400-600 USD. I was thinking of just a regular digital micrometer (Mitutoyo). Thoughts?  Mahalo. Frank
