Updated: closed with the instrument for press down the crystal

Nothing to do....i have only turned it anticlockwise for 170°. Its impossible to open

Aaaah!!!! Finally!!!
I finally clean the iternal of the crystal!!!
But now, how i can close it???

Sticky ball.

I have sticky ball, but i dont understand what type of force I need to apply. The ball need to be full air compressed or only 80%?

Hi guys, how can I open my navitimer? It has this caseback:

Thank you

Mine too: Brand new cobalt 1.25mm bit and battery drill/screwer (the Ikea one: I have 3 power drills and a column one but the Ikea one was the lightest to handle and the column was vibrating a bit too much for such small bit).

I have drill mine with hands, but for push back the broken tip i have broken the crystal.(my fault, i didnt want to disassembly all watch). Your mod on the case is not bad, seem to be very symmetric.

But for the white nylon gasket there is a instruction/sequence for install it?

Had the same issue with mine, the issue is actually that the tension spring is a bit too small in diameter and a bit thin. I bought a replacement from cousins UK which is considersbly more substantial and it's now as tight as a drum

Hope that helps 

Cheers DH

Have u a link of this spring, please? Thank you

I have bought this crystal: Rolex Generic Tropic Glass EACH No.19 (Ø303mm) (Sternkreuz XS303.472)

Now the bezel without the insert turn free, but if I put the insert in the bezel it doesnt turn and if I force it, the insert pop off. What can i do?

Heat up that area and get a file of the right size and press it in there and twist away. Then rethread and insert correct tube with

Blue loctite.

Correct Rolex tube thread and pitch is m3x.035. Rethread using this and insert gen spec tube with loctite. No gorilla strength, just tight. Let it cure for 24hrs and you're set

Guys, I have received the tip M3X0.35 and I have done the job:

There is a little deformation on the backside, generated when i have removed the stock tube - it can create a problem with the backcase  

Now, for fit the Athaya tube, i have only purple Loctice (222), its OK or the blue one its a must?

Thank you

Yep that's some other odd tube you have in your watch.

Get a rat-tail file or a triangular file and tap it gently into the hole in your existing tube.  Unscrew it from the case.  You might have to use some heat to loosen it.  Then see if the Athaya tube will thread in the hole.  If it does, give it a dot of blue Loctite and seat it tightly.

Good luck!

Can I use purple loctite or the blue one its a must? For fitting it, I need use something or just hands?

Thank you

Many thank for the support gived to me! I will replay when i will receive all the item needed.

What do you mean with:> its a rasp?

And is possible that the threat is a non-standard M3x0,35? LoL

Inviato dal mio A0001 utilizzando Tapatalk

I think, i will need threat with M3x0,35 (threat for Athaya 7020 tube). If it doesnt work... I have to throw the case

Guys I have broke the case? this is whats happened when I have tried to remove the cartel's tube:

Which tool we need for remove the standard Cartel tube? Dimension? Thanks

I got one: bought a 2846 base plate and transplanted everything else from a 2842 plus the date change mechanism, the balance hacking lever and the keyless 3 action spring from a 2836

Ahahahah very nice mate! You have done a triple hack

Inviato dal mio A0001 utilizzando Tapatalk

Best option is to get a 2846, which is the same as 2836 as dimensions and all, just the escapement is different since it ticks at 21600

Yes, but its impossible to find !!

There are several suppliers that provide the same dials. I would recommend tonnywatches on instagram.

WoW! This is a great news! He has a lot of dials! Thanks mate!

@Mule play I want a more versatile look that's why I ordered a black alligator strap but given how beautiful this watch is, I might order more of this model. Hopefully the movement can convince me to pull the trigger.

The same here, I received mine yesterday and the only bad thing is the strap.

I wanna find one more taller and dark blue.

P.S. I love the date's font
