Pictures? More information? Did you buy the proper rechargeable battery for it? Did it mount the same way, with a little tab sticking out of it? The tab has to make proper contact with the one on the watch itself. Then if the battery didn’t arrive charged up, you have to set the watch out in the sun for a few hours to charge it. (A very few models have a battery that looks like a regular one without the tag but the rest still applies. What is the model number of the watch? Steve

The model number is B873M, the battery capacitor is 295 5600, which goes with the model number for this watch. On the battery case is MT 920, this is the same style battery that I use in my Skyhawk........it works in the Skyhawk, but not in the Pro diver?

    • You need as a minimum what's called hand levers to remove them and a hand press of some sort to refit them. So the first thing to confirm is if the HQ505.6L is correct. Does yours have a date at the 6 o'clock position, any photos would help.
    • Don't know of any watch repair shops, but HS Walsh have a shop in Hatton Garden. When in the West End I usually walk down New Bond Street, ogling in the windows at the very expensive watches 🤪 Also, if you haven't already been, the Science Museum now houses the collection from the "Worshipful Company of Clockmakers". Watches from 1600 to present. Some of those from the 1600s are incredible. Well worth a visit. 
    • Thanks for the info JM! After looking at the stem, I don't think there is metal loss so I might just be in luck 🙂 In case I do need a new Stem crown, who is your mystical source if I can ask?
    • Thanks for the explanation @JohnR725. I had seen images like this before, but they didn’t quite make sense. Now I get it. It’s good that I removed the jewels for cleaning, I think, since that probably hadn’t been done for a very long time. With that said, my oiling probably wasn’t effective. I can add a drop and use my oil balance staff to get it to bleed down. 
    • Thanks, The replacement seems pretty simple. Do I need to buy any special tools to remove and replace the hands? Also as far as the variations I need some help here. I measured the height and it was 6mm with the second hand on it. The 2 505 movements that are the tallest are 5.4mm and 5.3mm. I found a website that says that Luminox used a HQ505.6L movement that is 5.3mm. Cost $20. So do I need to buy any special tools to deal with the hands?
