great info. thanks.

a blowtorch! wow, and the movement wasn't damaged? great.

one more question. when your heating the bezel should you remove the movement from the watch?

ok, thanks for the info.

hi frankt, i'am going to try the heat method next time around. how long do you heat?

i was able to get the insert out, but of course it was destroyed in the process.

i want to be able to swap inserts without destroying them.

hi, not sure what sub it is. i,am pretty sure it has the retaining ring. is there a tool for removing this type of bezel? it is a low priced sub.

hi, i'am a little confused. you say you heated the bezel ring and it came off then you removed the wire? so the bezel ring was not a snap fit?

hi, tried to get the bezel off my sub using the knife procedure, no luck. there are special remover tools made for this. they are pretty expensive. has anyone tried making one ?

hi, this happens 8-10 hrs after winding it and wearing it. at this point it starts running slow 3-5 minutes. this process repeats daily. i've had the watch adjusted/regulated but the same thing happens.

hi all, i bought a submariner for 120$. the watch keeps perfect time for 8 hours then starts to run slow to the tune of 5 minutes. this is repeated. any explanations? i'am assuming a asia 21j or such.

HMMMMMM!

sorry, will do.

OK, GREAT, WAITING ON THE MOVEMENT FROM COUSINS. WILL POST BACK. THANKS GUYS.

SO IT GOES OVER THE DATE WHEEL AND THE DIAL GOES OVER THE SPACER? ALSO, CAN I USE THE OLD STEM AND CROWN FOR THE NEW MOVEMENT OR DO I HAVE TO CUT THE NEW ONE TO SIZE? AS YOU HAVE PROBABLY GUESSED I'AM GOING TO ATTEMP A MOVEMENT SWAP. ANY TIPS TO MAKE THE ATTEMP SUCCESSFUL? THANKS AGAIN.

HI, I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE ABOVE MOVEMENT. IT CAME WITH A CIRCULAR METAL RING. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT RING IS FOR? THANKS ALL,

hi offshore, you were right! i installed the battery you recommended and it worked great. thanks for your help. what a great forum. pg

firstly, thanks for the replies. it is a Miyota quartz its a non-chrono, just date. the brand is a Technos sport 2000. could it be, that if the battery fits, it will work?

hi forum members, i have a quartz watch but lost the battery. is there any way to determine what battery it needs. there appears to be dozens of watch batteries for some odd reason.

thanks for the info. much appreciated.

hi all, thought i'd post this. watchreplica.org is offering a holiday promotion. buy a watch get a replica rolex free!

hi all, thought i'd pass this on. watchreplica.org is offering if you buy a watch you get a rolex replica free! holiday promotion.

well, the reason i ask is i thought the advantage to buying a cheap replica with the asia 21j movement was that you could just replace it if it developed a fault. from what you say its not that simple.

hi all, i'am curious, is there a drop in replacement for the asia 21j that is used in most replicas?
