  1. Update for what its worth Got the stem to stay in by pressing the small button to its side. Pull out one stop I can change day and date , pull out two stops can change time. Unfortunately everything else has stopped Best leaving it alone as I seem to be doing more damage every time I touch it
  2. Thank you, I won't be contacting them then
  3. Bottom of page on one of the threads Google ad has this company http://thewatchlab.co.uk/watch-repairs-by-post-fully-insured-guaranteed/?gclid=CM_Muoa5_qYCFcULfAod00cEaw Does anybody know if they do Reps.
  4. Seen justasgoods post on the the Align 7750 thread will start by giving that a try, thanks for your detailed reply it's given me a bit more understanding of timepieces and of my limitations
  5. Not up with all of the phrases What do you mean by keyless works issue
  6. About $300 I think its called the crown stem It would appear according to the description on the attached link that I have dislocated the castle wheel http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WatchSchool/WS%2011%20How%20to%20remove%20and%20replace%20a%20watch%20movement/WS%2011%20How%20to%20remove%20and%20replace%20a%20movt.htm Shame as I've only had the watch a few months
  7. Or would I be better replacing. Posted this earlier maybe in the wrong section Dropped my Tag Carrera Calibre16 day date and the bit on the dial round the day date fell off. I looked up on the internet how to remove the "winder" and went about dismantling the watch. Unfortunately I seem to have done something wrong when replacing the "winder" and it wouldn't stay in. watch was still functioning apart from the "winder" staying in, Tried again but then the watch stopped and the "winder" still wouldn't stay in Is it worth repairing and any idea how much Stay in UK if that makes a difference Photo of Gen
  8. Dropped my Tag Carrera Calibre16 day date and the bit on the dial round the day date fell off. I looked up on the internet how to remove the winder and went about dismantling the watch. Unfortunately I seem to have done something wrong when replacing the winder and it wouldn't stay in. watch was still functioning apart from the winder staying in, Tried again but then the watch stopped and the winder still wouldn't stay in Is it possible that it could be repaired at a cost that is less than replacement ($320) Stay in UK if that makes a difference
  9. Thanks for all your concerns I don't know how to remove the winder to allow the workings to be removed from the case but from what I can see the original clip is not there. When the pusher fell out I pulled the winder out fully to stop the movement in case the clip entered the movement. I have shaken the watch quite vigorously but with the size of the broken part you wouldn't see it if it fell out The first "watchmaker" I visited when he opened it up had a good look inside with his eye piece and said that he couldn't see anything, I left it with the second one who when I went to collect it said that after he had had a look at it he couldn't fix it so I have to assume the broken clip has fallen out. I contacted my dealer as soon as it happened nearly two weeks ago but I haven't had a reply. This is my fist rep and to have this happen so soon after receiving it(4 weeks)has left me doubting if I should purchase another one.
  10. Stripped a small and when a say small I mean small rubber band from the pusher from an old Seiko digital chrono and put it on to the Tag's pusher. All functions are operational and hopefully it will stay on, at least I have another three available if it goes again.
  11. Took the watch to two places today, first one said that he wouldn't touch it as he has had problems with replicas with screws and other bits breaking, said you get what you pay for and less. Second place told me to leave the watch with them and they would see what they could do, probably Thursday before they would be finished with it, Even he didn't sound confident about repairing it
  12. Many thanks for your prompt replies If I pull out the crown will it stop the watch in case the clip gets jammed in the workings and causes more damage. Not sure how to open it so will check out who's available to fix it
  13. I purchased a Tag Carrera 43mm Automatic Day/Date Chronograph from a very trusted dealer on here recently and this morning when putting the watch on my wrist the reset pusher fell to the floor, can't recall catching it on anything at any time. Apart from returning it to the dealer with all the carry on that goes with it is there a simple solution to repair it I have attached some photographs Cheers
  14. It wasn't painful as like another time my cherry was lost
  15. Watch arrived Thursday, Really pleased with it. When I took it out of its excellent protective wrapping I just sat and stared and stared and stared at it. A beautiful piece of engineering and design with nothing in its detail lost by the rep producers. Thank you Mary for making an old man very very happy. I'll post a photo when my hands stop shaking
