ED_Rolex Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) In my former modification, I have had made my Sub movement stopped, can you all experts suggest me to buy a new watch indeed or repair the ETA movement? As I have already replaced the tube for the case... I don't wanna waste the case Thanks! Edited September 11, 2006 by ED_Rolex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 if you installed a gen tube & crown & used the old stem , it is likely that the stem might be to long or to short . i did the same mod & shortly after that my sub died just stopped working .. with the help of my friends on RWG they help me out with this problem .. so i re-cut a new eta stem & she's back & running keeping great time , i just trimmed the CG'S & waiting on new case clamps .. good luck ..

ubiquitous Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Try letting the watch run with the crown unscrewed from the tube. This will let off any pressure on the stem, and will tell you if something is binding or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED_Rolex Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 The problem is I have tried to repair the ETA by myself!! Parts are all here, haven't lost any, but I really can't re-assembly the movement HAHA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce79 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Don't know what to tell you. It's not a good idea to take your watch apart if you don't know what you're doing. Try sending it to one of the trusted watchsmiths on the board. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
