I am new here and recently getting into watch repair!  I bought a load of watch parts on a whim at an auction without even looking at them and am fascinated by everything!

Anyway... this one is stumping me and I have researched for hours - I have a few watch crystals that have a strange logo in the centre and I was wondering if anyone knew what company the logo was for?

Hello Niall, I cant find anything with that logo.

My first thoughts were as rogart''s ... that this is a trident but I can't find any manufacturer with a logo that looks like that.

For space reasons a lot of manufacturers use 'composite-letter' logos i.e. initial letters that make up a company name are formed to take up the minimum room. The FHF mark is one of my favourites! So your logo could be representing IW or WI (or IM or MI depending on crystal orientation). But what watch company has these initials and this logo? None of the better known brands do (e.g. Invicta Watches).

Which then brings us to the possibility that your crystals are from a more obscure fashion brand. Something along these lines may be plausible also given it's certainly not usual for established brands to be etching marks into a crystal!

      Try putting everything back together and closing the back cover. I think one of the two springs has to contact the metal casing to ground the casing. So when you press the button, it will touch the contact on circuit board and close the circuit.

      Yes, the seconds hand is the longest and goes almost to the edge of the dial. I can’t quite picture it how you do it on the rubber pad

      A don't think so it leaked or damaged it because the watch itself works it just the buttons ain't working not connecting with the circuit board have taken more pictures of where the buttons makes contact with the circuit board.

      Stem removal after fitting hands

      I think what peter means oh is once he has fitted the hands and  checked for  alignment if them and that they dont foul, how does he then hold the movement to remove the stem in order to case up. The dial cannot be laid on a cushion or in a movement holder as the hands will get damaged. This can be quite tricky for a beginner, what i do is  to stand the movement on edge on a rubber pad so it doesn't slip. Hold the top edge with one finger then my dominant hand uses 3 fingers to press the stem release and flick out the stem. See below peter, leave off the second hand as this is the longest and gets caught the most, then fit it once the stem is out. Alternatively place the movement in one of the cup style holders, i imagine this is what they are designed for. They only touch the very edge of the dial.

      Yes I understand that. What I’m asking is, after the hands have been fitted, it’s been checked that the hands do not touch etc. then I need to remove the stem to fit the movement in the case. I have the push type, I need to turn it upside down and push the setting lever post and pull the stem out. But of course the dial and hands are in place and I have a glossy dial with lume dots and I do not want to cause any damage while it’s upside down pushing on the post of the setting lever.
