hooky Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi guys, I have a couple of PAM and FER. when they arrived, i used to directly oil the O rings of the caseback and the crown stem. I greased them with Swiss Bergean sticky grease. The one thing i do not know how to protect are those CHRONO PUSHERS. Anyone has an idea if the chronopushers also can be protected, for maintenance, to keep them waterproofed, even after a couple of years? For instance, can the pushers be removed to be able to get to the rubbers inside these chrono pushers? Thanks, Jouke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexman Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Sure, grease the seals of the two pushers. Remove the movement. Push in the chrono pusher and you will see a tiny C-clip. Remove it and take out the pusher. You will see a small rubber gasket along the shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Thanks Rolex! i just removed the movement and all. looking at that C clip with my loupe. Those are some really tiny mothers. How did you remove them? even a pair of small tweezers can hardly get a grip. Could use a tiny screwdriver, but i do not want to break them. What is your procedure? Thanks man!

Rolexman Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Indeed.. they are tiny as a mother. Ok here goes. I hope this makes sence. With my left hand (I'm right handed) I push the case with the chrono pusher I want to remove on the table. So the table will push in the pusher. Now you will see the c-clip. Then I take a small flat screw driver and hold it (at the base of the tip) against the left opening of the c-clip with the point finger of my left hand. This way the c-clip can't turn or move when you try to remove it. Then I will use another flat tip screw driver in my right hand to push against the right opening of the c-clip and so removing it. It usually just falls in the case or jumps against the crystal. Not a great technique but it works for me... you also need a lot of patience and determination to get them out. Just take your time. Good luck. PS: Replacing is the easy part. Just take a tweezer. Position the clip on the shaft and push on the dead center point (the center of the round clip) with a flat tip screw driver. Make sure you push straight or else it will rocket off and you will never find it again LOL. Edited February 5, 2008 by Rolexman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooky Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Rolexman, Thank you for your excellent post and for sharing your knowledge!! With these guideline, it will definately get the job done. I will do it, and then will bring it to my local watch smith, to test waterproofing. Before, it could take nearly 5 bar. Hopefully now a couple of bar more. When it is done, i will post it on this forum. Thanks again Rolexman, You rock!!! Jouke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
