I just failed. Rolex Sub repair, help please


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was about to adjust the beat timing by adding length of the strokes when I accidently slipped and touched the little round wheel spinning right beneath the adjustment part and the wheel stops. Now I know nothing about watch repair and I don't feel like touching more before hearing advice from someone a tad more experienced. Did I break something or just lodge something out of place? In either case, how do I fix it and is it possible for someone that isn't spending too much time inside clocks but for someone that mostly looks at them on the outside?

The wheel I'm talking about is the one right beneath the B part of this picture.

Thanks in advance.

I dont want to be depressive but you have more than lightly damaged the balance spring, and that is about the most delicate bit in a watch, if it does not cause the balance wheel to swing any more find a rep friendly repair man.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Where are you in the world, it may help to find a repair person

The good news is...that if it is indeed an ETA movement you have as pictured above...then the chances of finding somebody that can repair it are higher than if it was not.

Residing in Sweden. Watch was advertised as ETA, got it from Eurotimez. Used it for a couple months now but actually never opened it but figured I needed to adjust the timing a bit. Any repairmen residing in Europe and/or is it possible to work on it yourself if there's any guide/lecture for it?
