gplracer Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 The reset pusher on my 7032 screws all the way out and does not retract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm not following what you mean. On one of my DW's, I removed the movement and then took a small screwdriver and tightened the pusher up from the inside- that brought the cap on the outside down on the post (base) tighter. Or are you going to have to order another pusher from DW? LHOOQ might have mentioned they are $25 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gplracer Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Thanks! I will have to butch up and take a look at this thing. Freddy is that release the same for a 7734? Edited February 24, 2012 by gplracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 All ETA-style 77xx chronos should be similar. Do you have that button on yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gplracer Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Do you think this is it? Here is a picture of what the pusher is doing. What do you suggest? It just unscrews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yes, you need to remove the movement & reassemble the pusher. There are 3 different styles of pushers used in these watches, but this break-down of the basic components should give you an idea of what you are dealing with The housing (in red box) screws into the pusher hole in your case. Then, you fit the spring, metal washer & 2 rubber gaskets (in that order) onto the screw piece at the left. That assembly fits through the housing piece & the cap in the lower right corner then screws onto the screw piece. There is also a pusher that has the end cap (the part that came off of your watch) secured by a circlip inside the case. If you have that style of pusher, the circlip is likely floating, loosely, around inside your case. If it got lodged inside the movement, you may need to have the movement overhauled. In any case, the cap came loose, leaving the inner spring exposed. Hopefully, you still have the metal washer & 2 rubber gaskets, which provide the seal. If not, you can source them through most watch parts sellers, a local watchsmith & some eyeglass stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gplracer Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Thanks, Any online tutorials on reassembling the pusher or anything I need to know? One more thing: What position should the crown be in when I push the button? Edited February 24, 2012 by gplracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Pull the crown all the way out to the time-setting position & leave it there until you reinstall. That will reduce (but not eliminate) the likelihood of your disengaging the keyless works when pressing the release & r&r'ing the stem.

gplracer Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 One more thing..... I assume I will have to take the part that came off and somehow unscrew it as well? I believe it is two parts. Any suggestions on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Once you remove the movement & can see all the pusher parts, it should be pretty obvious how it goes together. If not, post a good, clear pic of the parts & area inside the case where the tube fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
