P4Replica

Here's the broken stem (crown removed) anyway:

Threaded part of the stem measures 0.87mm diameter, so I guess that makes it a nominal 0.9mm.

Not sure if it was a two-piece stem, but it is now.

Hi again, Guys.

O.K. So having done the obligatory newbie intro' thing: rwg.cc/topic/180001-another-newbie-or-at-least-new-to-this-arena

Guess what ? I need to ask some help, please. 

Although I will admit to having bought a few decent quality Breitling Chronomat replicas (mostly Miyota OS20 quartz powered) in the early 1990's, nowadays I tend to avoid replica watches like the plague .... especially when it comes to working on them.

I've fixed quite a few non-Seiko 7Axx watches for people at work, changing batteries; capacitors; swapping movements, etc..

Word gets around. I guy I've recently become friendly with, dumped an assortment on me a few weeks ago:

An ETA-powered Calvin Klein quartz chrono; an old Seiko 7N42; a Seiko 5M22 in need of capacitor change ....

and I suspect what was a fairly cheap auto Omega Seamaster 007 replica (is it acceptable to use the f*k* word on here ?)

The hour / minute hand (mis)alignment on it was diabolical. He asked me if I could reset the hands. Notta problem says I confidently. 

So this afternoon, I pulled and reset the hands - did a pretty good job of it (anything would have been an improvement).

Plopped the movement back into the case, but couldn't get the stem to go back in. Probably pushed a bit too hard on the spring-loaded screw-down crown and managed to bend the tip of the stem. Took it back out again, tried to straighten it and it broke ! 

Now I really don't want to give it back to him saying 'Sorry Mate', but ....

So if I was to post photos, would anybody be willing to help try identify the movement (it looks pretty cheap and nasty to me) - and point me in the direction of a suitable replacement stem please ?

Hi. My name's Paul. I tinker with watches more than occasionally and have done so for the last 6 years or so.

I don't normally get involved with replica watches - I specialize in collecting Seiko 7A38 15J quartz chronographs (and derivatives).

I have my own little watch forum dedicated to them: http://www.seiko7a38.com/apps/forums/

The handle ? Ah well that goes back a few more years. It's what I used to use before Seiko7A38, but I thought it might fit here.

I might not be into replica watches, but I will admit to still owning a Fake Ferrari.
