gavinh29 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi i am new to rep watches and to this forum, my first watch arrived yesterday an IWC 46mm topgun doppel from trusty and the top start/stop button pusher has popped of and now wont stay on.

Rolexman Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi there. Sorry to hear you had such bad luck. The pushers are hold by either a screw or 'c' clip which can only be reached from the inside. One needs to remove the movement in order to reach it. My gues is either the c clip was not attached properly and is now floating around in the case or either the screw has unscrewd itself and is hanging in there. It should be a easy and small fix by someone who knows what he is doing. Find a local watchmaker who is not brand affiliated. Good luck.

Watchmeister Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 It will take no time. You just don't want to do it yourself if you haven't it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm scared my IWC Gst or Slevin might lose a pusher, last time I opened the caseback I checked inside: there were screws but apparently It wasn't possible to screw them fully in (screw keeps turning if you use a screwdriver) and it wasn't possible to remove the screw either. How can i be sure they are safe? I'm aware it sounds like a stupid question but believe me they weren't working like common screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a needle to pin point the section of the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
