  1. I think I have a problem with the keyless works

    in Movement Q&A

    Posted · Edited by Rolexman

    Now I really have a problem... I think due to the removal in the winding position something in the keyless works has moved. Now I can click the stem/crown back in but nothing works... winding, date set, time, hack. When I screw the crown on the tube the date turns......

    I think it was a bad Idea removing it in the winding position.

    from your information I am assuming that you just pressed the stem in place without releasing the pin?

    Indeed

    What type of movement is this?
    ETA 2824

    I would remove the stem with the watch in the winding position, and reinstall it while pressing on the release pin, and then see how it feels and works.

    Yep, did that but no change. Now I really have a problem when reinstalling the stem the movement keeps running and all functions don't work.....

    For cleaning some dust from the dial I removed the crown/stem (ETA 2824). After I'd put it back (I think I used too much force sticking it back in) the crown/ stem has a slipping feeling (hope this makes sence). This feeling occurs when seting date AND time.

    A jeweler told me once(same problem different watch but not my fault =) ) that this was due to a lose turret spring(?).

    Problem is that I don't now if this slipping feeling already excisted before the crown/stem removal because the watch was new. Could this problem been caussed by putting too much pressure on the crown/stem and most important can this easily be fixed?

    I could not find any pictures of the turret spring in your tutorials...

    I came across an add from a guy in Holland who sells his FULL 18K GOLD Breitling Chronomat. The add says it is equipped with an ETA 7750, sapphire and is full 18K gold. Didn't get much wrist time so no scratches or scuffs.

    USD: 2450,-

    Euro: 2000,-

    Can this be true???.... I never came across such a rep here or at RWG1!!

    DEALERS: do you guys know something more about these beauties??

    WHERE DO THEY COME FROM??

    its easy to me but i can see many messing up , it is glued on to the face with like a rubber cement type glue and u have to be very careful and have some of the finest point tweezers that actually grip good and gently remove it , i started on one end and wiggled gently and worked it around and then once i could get under it i simply pulled straight up on it till the rubber string let go lol not a job for the faint hearted for sure lol hope this helps

    Were there any glue residues on the dial and how did you remove them?... could you make a pic of the tweezer ya used so I can compare it to mine?
