Sounds like the screw which retains the oscillating weight has come loose so it's not winding the mainspring.

Hi Lewie.
OK, I think you are mixing up the seconds hands. The centre seconds hand is the chronograph seconds. The small seconds hand at 6 o'clock is the "time" seconds. If the small seconds hand...

The bottom right button does not reset the movement/hands. Pressing this button should simply rotate the three chronograph hands 360 degrees. To reset the positions of the chrono hands pull the...

Winning bidder placed 18 bids so he was intent on winning it. Hopefully so he could refuse to pay. Fingers crossed.

Likewise, for what good it will do! :(
What's the odds on Ebay pulling the auction?

add another tenner and thats how much he wants to service a 6 month old watch AFTER the wheel change............... :lol:[/quote]

I'd say that £90 isn't a bad price to service a 7750 movement but...

OK, you say: "The old one didn't come back with the watch", so the watch had a second hand. Presumably it was fitted to the watch when you gave it to RyteTime? If it was, and they claim the pinion...

Speedy looks a bit abused but I assume will come back from its servce looking pristine. I have both watches: Speedy 1980 and Datejust 1991 - both 30yrs or more after my birth year. If I had to...

I agree, everyone has an off day. However, if I have bad service I give the service provider a chance (or several chances) to put things right. If they don't, gloves come off. In this case I don't...

There are two sides to every story and so far we have only heard one. I prefer to keep an open mind before before joining in the destruction of a hard-won good reputation.

Something confuses me. ...

Difficult to tell; having registered with an e-mail of mike@mspecsolutions.com there's very little to go on.

IMS is mainly ethanol denatured with for example methanol and pyridine or other denaturants. Ethanol and methanol being polar are not good solvents for non polar oils and greases. They mave...

Sue him in the small claims court[/quote]

As I understand it (not being a lawyer or legal expert), a claim in the small claims court would fail as the seller has refunded his money and so Melt...

Invicta "Ocean Ghost" Model 4731 complete with box and manual I got with several other watches in an Ebay deal some months ago. It has a really nice SEl bracelet but that's about it. Really not my...

I had the same problem with a few snap back cases.
Go to Ebay and search for "watch case closer". Make sure you get one with metal dies. The plastic ones are great for fitting crystals but too...

Steve Burrage at Ryte Time Watch Repairs?

Hi hansblix2001

There seems little point in initiating a debate if you simply post sarcastic responses to those who take an opposing view. The debate would then be non-existant.

Oh I'm...

Let me guess ............

You're a self trained "engineer" specialising in the repair of Fordson Major agricultural vehicles? :lol: :lol:

Kind regards
Dave

You own or have owned a "replica" watch but you find the concept of people owning a replica "baffling"? I have to say that I'm somewhat confused.

Kind regards
Dave

I believe there are at least 2 types of stem for the 2824. If I recall correctly the 2824-1 stem is thinner than the 2824-2 stem in the "square" section. Both are available from Cousins. ...

Just a thought - would thicker spring bars help?
Kind regards
Dave

In my experience (twice) if Cousins have made a mistake, then THEY have put it right.
1) Seiko bezel- Part sent was incorrect. Cousins refunded.
2) Seiko movement. Wrong part sent. Cousins...

Three pages of replies! This is probably the best response I've ever had to any of my posts on any watch forum.
Ironic and a little sad. :oops: :cry:
Kind regards
