Back up again for me.

definitely something im considering exploring. for a $300 watch, i expect it to last at least 10 years like $300 citizens. i wouldnt mind putting in a tad more cash to get a more reliable ETA too. now just gotta find the person to help me out =)...and find out what clone ETA version i have.
Your rep will never last like a gen Citizen,it might if completely rebuilt, but most likely no.
You have to temper your expectations in this game.

A few I've purchased from Toro over the years.
What can I say, I like Omega

Looks Great!
Glad you got it sorted.
Heres one of mine, a UPO with sunnydale crystal.(rep bezel though) -
That looks like the bezel retaining spring , you need something engaging the teeth located underside of the bezel assembly.
Something like this:
I am not positive this is the correct one but it may give you an idea.

Where is the click spring?
Don't know which type but you need something.

MOAB,
Accusatory? maybe, but my take is different.
superlative said:
"Perhaps the buyer of a rep on eBay should inform himself of the watches authenticity. Also, eBay and PayPal have policies to protect the buyer. Why make it your modus operandi?"
I'm sorry? I'm all for "Caveat Emptor" and all,
but perhaps the OP overestimates the intellegence and expertese of many ebay buyers.(most have no conception of how good reps can be, and why should they,their supposed to be buying a gen)
The OP basically stated it's OK to sell reps on ebay as gens(if you can get away with it) and it is the buyers fault if he is screwed(despite PP/ebay hopefully riding to the rescue,but only if the buyer figures out it is a rep in time), and we should look the other way and do nothing despite knowing it is a rep?
You are OK with this view ?(I know you are not)
But it seems the OP is OK with it.( and he wonders about our ethics?)
I wonder about his.

In all seriousness;
Why do people report reps being sold as gens on eBay? The rep market is based on ripping off the designs of the gen makers (no denying this fact). Why get in such a huff over somebody trying to sell a rep as a gen? Does it make you justify your rep purchase so that your conscience doesn't bother you? I'm sure a lot of you tell your friends or acquaintances or strangers, "sure, it's a gen!" Perhaps the buyer of a rep on eBay should inform himself of the watches authenticity. Also, eBay and PayPal have policies to protect the buyer. Why make it your modus operandi?
Are you upset because you are afraid someone will catch YOU selling a rep as a gen?
By the way, anyone can tell anyone whatever story they want about their watch, it's up to them in the end,but SELLING A REP AS A GEN is a different story and should be condenned by all members . JMHO

Did you check inside the toy?
Did you use this website http://www.ttw888.com/ ?

Did you look at my link in post 6? Here is a more specific example.

Vac is also in the U.S.

It goes down for a couple of minutes every night around 23:00 central time. It's been doing this to me for a couple weeks. Always has come up again after a few minutes.

Surely, there must be someone in Canada who provides this service. Also, the term "low level lume work" doesn't exactly inspire confidence - thanks though!
Nope don't think so, there are more than ten times the reps and gens in the US than in Canada,and there are only a couple of modders in the US doing this kind of work. The numbers don't add up for Canada. Try cwazy over at RWI http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=393

Be aware that if your waterproofing/testing is from the TD, it may not be waterproof. Get it tested before you wear it in the water.(there have been unpleasant surprises in this regard)JMHO

If you are lucky you may be able to get it back in by removing the case back and lightly depressing the stem release while inserting, pushing and twisting the crown/stem assy. Use a rolled up ball of duct tape (sticky side out) to remove the case back. Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Found this one. But it's to small. The co-axial has a case diameter of 44,25. That's what I am looking for.
Tapped and talked with my Viper-HOX
It is NOT rep'd yet!
You will not get what you want from your linked site.http://de.zggjbb.com/aaaa-replica-omega-speedmaster-moonwatch-coaxial-chronograph-4425-mm-stahl-31130445001001-p-856.html?zenid=9q2i4a2u3mg2imtn8va3sdpl95 That is a real Omega in the picture!
100m water resist? Sorry but, HA,HA.
You will most likely be very disappointed.

The watch you referenced is not available as a rep(fairly certain) and the only rep display back models are the ST19 movement hand winds with incorrect dial spacing, like mine.(chronos are very difficult to make water resistant)

You started the same stuff over at RWG biz, listen to their advise. Don't do it!

A sticky ball or pin type will work
.

Fraggle42 has this right! Unscrew crown. Do not remove stem! Just back off movement holder screws and gently persuade the dial into the position you want, and then re tighten movement holder screws. You can use this opportunity to grease the caseback "O" ring and stem/crown seals. Good luck!
-
Most 21j movements usually have plastic holders,and mostly the clone 2824/2836/7750/7753 use some type of metal.(just my experience though)
