newswire Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Yes, that is what I remembered! Ok, does anyone then know if a st19 will fit dw's cases made for 7750? I think they are a bit spacier than the ones for v72Sent from my iPad using TapatalkDitto this.

prdubis Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Never heard of this kind of build. But I know you can convert a cartel case to fit a V72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djulink Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Would that be the Sunburst Effect ? I think I know it's suppose to be subtle (if not, it screams "rep") but not sure where it comes from. Anyone can teach me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djulink Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi Gents, I've been looking around but need some advices, looking for a proper crown, I've found 2 @ Yuki : large tube http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/10276441.htm small tube http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/10289013.htm (not my favorite) But am unsure about the stem size and the tube hole (knowing that I'm not equipped to re-tap it) ; would any of you have any tip(s) to give me? or this one @ Raffles : http://rafflestime.com/signed-explorer-submariner-crown-for-eta-dg-1570-movement-6mm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djulink Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi Gents, A question following what I consider to be a good news: As it was described by the seller, I thought the hour sub dial hand was frozen or glued but it appears to be functional. After I took the movement out of the case to properly align the main hour hand, I put back the movement in and after re-plugging the stem in, i started the chrono function to make sure it was still functional and - surprisely - after 10 or 20 minutes, i noticed that the sub dial hour hand had moved. But when I reseted the chrono, it did not come back to the 12 marker and was a little offset. But more than that, It did not stop (when I activate the pusher at 2) and continue its course along the sub dial... while the chrono function was stopped and the big second hand and the sub minute hand were back in place. I noticed that when the sub dial hour hand has gone after marker 9 or 10, it reset properly (aligned with the 12 marker) but still it does not stop and continue to count hours although the chrono function is off. My question would be : what is the way to settle this ? is it an easy way (or does that necessarily mean service) ? I've found some answers in a post from @freddy333, but can't manage to find it back ; if anyone could chime in, I would be very thankful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djulink Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thanks Freddy for your answer but i was actually referring to that one : I think I'll try to take the movement off the case tonight and try to realign the hour sub dial hand to the 12 marker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djulink Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 By the way @freddy333, what do you mean in that post when you wrote "the hour totalizer hand to start 'creeping'" ? Thanks in advance for your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your answers As explained in the thread, the hour totalizer was running even when the chrono is off. As I recall, it was due to a worn braking component, but you (or your watchmaker) would need to disassemble your watch to diagnose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djulink Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Ok Thanks, and that is exactly what's happening : "the hour totalizer was running even when the chrono is off" I wish I had a watchmaker... Not ready yet to take the dial off I guess. I don't feel confortable thinking about the way to detach & put back in place those tiny sud dial hands... It would require a proper tool than my only bergeon screwdriver Edited November 10, 2016 by djulink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djulink Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi All, the 4 o'clock pusher is getting 'tired' on my 6239 ; I've been looking to find a proper replacement (but the gen I found on the bay are far beyond my capacities). So I went by @ofrei and @counsinsuk, and found this possibility: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/classical-screw-in I think mine would be one the 4mm head in SS but I don't have the proper precise tool - a caliper I think it is - to measure the diameter of the thread. Would anyone know ou could help, please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
