milwaukee Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Not sure if this is the right area to post this request, but... The top chrono plunger for on my Aquatimer popped off and is now lost. Is this common? Could anybody help point me in the right direction to buy a replacement pusher without having to buy an entire replacement watch. I have asked a few dealers that said they don't deal in parts. Thanks in advance for your advice it's such a great watch and it kills me to see it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Oy. That sucks. A couple options. Try Peter (Watchstation) and Silix. The next option is to ask your dealer if they can repair the watch. It has the usual risks of shipping back to China...but that might be the other option...or possibly going the gen IWC part.

Aloha~Cheers Lani Awesome! Thanks Lani. I will sign back up as a supporter. I have been in the past, but told myself I needed to back off my rep purchases so have not been as active.

I have been in the past, but told myself I needed to back off my rep purchases so have not been as active. Here we go again:) PM me your Addy and I will have it in the mail this week .. good to see you back Milwaukee !! Goal : everyone that is on this forum should contribute to the "community pot" we all use this forum .. ergo we should all take ownership for "OUR" daily usage.. at least after your first "buy".. if you can afford a watch.. then there should be no reason not to "help support" the usage fees even if your use the forum solely for socializing on the internet.. as others have said.. "it's worth the price of admission" .. and it comes out to literally Pennies a day.. so it would be nice to see all members at least with the "Orange" banner edit add. the chrono pusher has a 'spring' .. the pusher tab .. and the screw that fits into the pusher from the inside of the case ... so I hope your versed in removing the movement .. the pusher will "pop" off if you do not have the screw seculey in place ..

lanikai Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Pulling through again R! Good stuff. How did you end up coming across your part? I have been dealing with Joshua now for several years... after experiencing other dealers service after purchase .. they may have cheaper prices, but I could not source parts .. which Joshua pays for. so ... as I was removing the crystal on the Slevin to send to Chief .. sheesh this was a year or longer ago .. the screw on the inside of the case that starts and stops the chrono and also hold the spring and tab in place .. must have been loose and BAM !! tab and spring disappeared.. so Joshua sent me another.. and .. long story short.. whist looking for a spring bar found the spring and tab.. so I saved the one that Joshua sent me.. does that answer your Enquiring Mind TT ???

Toadtorrent Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 does that answer your Enquiring Mind TT ??? It does indeed. I think it's an interesting story. I have a few screws and tiny springs lying on my floor I'm sure!! I just never bothered replacing them...lucky no critical parts have flown off for me. It will happen...it happens to everyone at least once in their life I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
