masou2 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hi all I bought a submariner one month ago from Andrew at TT. The QC pics were great and Andrew's service was impeccable. I've only now just noticed that there is a smudge on the inside of the glass which did not show up in any of the QC pics, but is pretty visible. Any advice as to what I should do in this situation? I don't have tools to fix this myself and I thought I would float the situation here before going to Andrew. I decided to post here instead of TT's forum, but let me know if I should just post it there. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsnelling Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 That's a bummer Andrew will probably have you send it back to his watch repair guys to clean it. Takes about a month to CONUS. I just had a similar situation with a crown that fell off. I may look into what it would cost to have someone else take a look at it in a shorter period of time... but that is just me. Best of luck!

bobandshawn Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 A six dollar rubber ball to remove the back, and maybe a ten dollar jewelers screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the movement in the case. Remove stem by pressing the little release button. Remove movement. Polish inside of crystal with a no lint cloth. Reverse process. GREAT opportunity to learn, FAR cheaper, and FAR quicker than sending anywhere... Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Or take it to a rep friendly watchmaker and watch him do it in 5 minutes- $20 maybe, maybe only $10. Cheaper and faster than sending it to Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximo101 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I like the "opportunity to learn" advise alot. I just did the work on an Orient Dolphin diver. The entire dial was off center and I finally opened the case, adjusted the dial and the result is just great. I wish I had tried it earlier....
