vantri Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 The 10:00 hour marker fell off my 16610 Asian Sub and is merrily rolling around. I could not find a "how to" on reattaching the marker for a Sub. I tried the search but I'm not doing something correct obviously. My main concerns are: Do I need to let the watch wind down and stop before disassembling? Do I have to glue the marker as it looks like there is a outward dimple on the 10:00 marker where the lume dot pops in? If I need to glue, what type glue is best? I read bad things about Super Glue fumes Anyone that knows of a tutorial on this process would be of GREAT assistance to me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSmoot Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Is it a "noobmariner"? Picture would help...I had this problem recently and opened up and glued a lume marker back on with some model glue...not sure if it was the "correct" glue but worked for me...

vantri Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Not able to photo and load....sorry Anyhow, it's an Asian off the streets of Malaysia. Not even a red gear Asian. The markers are Maxi. I just was looking for a tutorial on how to release the stem and remove pin. What is found interesting was that the silver marker holder has a tiny dimple protruding upward in the middle where the white marker should be. Looks like the marker may be held in place without glue? I know I'll have to glue it back down, just wanted a good common glue found in U.S. I'm sure this has been asked before, I just couldn't find the tutorial via key word search. Appreciate any help!

Dizzy Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 yep take out the movement and glue the marker back on. USe model glue or something like GS Hypo cement. Dont use superglue because of the fumes. There are a few tutorials here on how to take a submariner apart and how to remove the stem. Took me 15 seconds to find it go into Knowledge base section.. then watch repair and upgrade.. and its the first thread in the list How to take apart your Submariner Lonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
