NOTED! Lol Cheers, Colin

There are further screws that hold the bracket on so I didn't bother. Sometimes I just remove a braclet pin, or take a pin out of the claps so I can open it up and get it out of the way, but since it wasn't too difficult a job I just worked around the bracelet.

It ended up getting cut by mistake during the editing process, however, the link to thiis video shows the crown removal process on a different Seiko, but same movement calibre! Cheers, Colin

@@watchoffthecuff HI I see! Reason I was watching your video in the first lace was that I have a ladies Timex WR 30M Indaglo with a broken crystal. I can not see where to press to remove the stem to get the movement out and was hoping you video might help.

Ouch! Sorry you didn't find it useful. I continue to experiment with camera angles for a clear view and still struggle with keeping closeup camera work in focus. It's a work in progress! Cheers, Colin

Me too! Send me a picture of the movement? I can probably show you where the release is. Colin@watchoffthecuff.com

The third sundial is used as a 24 hour indicator, so you know if you are AM or PM. Cheers! Colin

You might have to reset the watch. This is done by shorting out the positive and negative with a pair of tweezers. Sometimes the chip needs to be reset after a battery change (very common with mecha-quartz Seiko chronographs). What is the calibre of movement?

Bracelet only in an ultrasonic. Never put a watch into an ultrasonic, the waves pass right through glass, the high speed frequency is not good for the watches internal parts. The ultrasonic will also strip coatings, anything painted, and will eat the adhesive off the underside of a bezel insert. In short a big no no! I have had to repair pieces after someone put their watch into an ultrasonic. Great for bracelets though, remove from the watch and ultrasonic away! (As long as it is not coated, pvd'd, and is solid metal.)

Good question! I haven't had to adjust the tension in one of these clasps before, so I don't have any advice from my personal experience. I wish I had one of these types in my shop right now so I could take a look and figure it out for you. My guess is the part the moves with the slot in it needs to be opened up all the way (should be in a rough L shape), and the short side of the "L" needs to be opened up a bit so that when you close the clasp it puts more pressure on the bracelet.

I'm not sure! I haven't ever kept track of the options and features of any Cartier watches.

You are welcome! Cheers! Colin

Hahaha, yes the Tudor Black Bay Steel and Gold released in 2017.

That's terrible! Hope you get it all sorted out yourself now!

@@watchoffthecuff Thank you sooo much!!!

You're welcome!

I did a quick look around. Couldn't find anyone selling these as replacement movements... Sorry!

I don't have a GMT in my collection... It's a huge hole that I just haven't been able to fill with the right piece. But man do I want one! Lol

Yes the website does convert to USD! Lol. Thanks for watching, feel free to reach out anytime! LOVE the Pelagos! (I'm a Tudor fan). Cheers, Colin

Nice! I'll do a breakdown of all the different types of spring bars in an upcoming video. I'm wearing the Tudor by Black Bay Steel and Gold... Got it when it first came out... Maybe 2017??? Cheers, Colin

@@watchoffthecuff Nice watch, hear Tudor has a 5 year warranty.

Lol

This one is a clone that I bought years ago, but it's identical to the 7825. I am an authorized dealer for Bergeon and have them in stock though.

Yes for most things the flat heads will get the job done! Cheers, Colin

Thanks!!!!!

I am struggling with keeping things in focus, sorry! I am trying to get it resolved so that I can keep the watch in focus throughout the video, so the camera doesn't try to make its own focus decisions! Don't give up on me! Lol Trying to improve one video at a time. Cheers, Colin

I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep it! I'm starting to weaken though... I have a vintage kit that is getting me by.

You're welcome!!! Cheers, Colin

Magic! Hahahaha

Sorry I don't have this watch in my shop anymore so I can't show you how to do it. Sorry! Cheers, Colin

Glad it helped!!!!

You're welcome!!!!

I can help you! Lol Watchoffthecuff.com (bitninsont think I have the tool you want listed on the website) Email me at colin@watchoffthecuff.com and I'd be happy to quote you some options! Cheers, Colin

Arghh - sorry to hear that! One thing to keep in mind... the hour wheel is kept in place with a wavy washer pressed between the hour wheel and dial. When you change the battery if you press down too hard you can press the dial too close to the movement putting pressure on the hour wheel, which will make the watch stop (sometime right away, sometimes after several minutes or hours). If you decase the movement you can gently separate the dial from the movement a fraction of a millimeter and it will relieve the tension, allowing the watch to work again! Just a suggestion! Cheers, Colin

Hahaha Awesome!

No, acrylic are compressed and fit into a machined groove, and require a special tool... Here is a video! ua-cam.com/video/pjHlBZFUDQ0/v-deo.html

You are welcome!!!!

Where are you located? If in Canada you can send it to me if you like! Cheers, Colin

If there are no markings on the battery that is in it now, measure the battery diameter and depth and I can confirm the correct replacement! I don't have a reference guide for all the Santos models and what they require battery wise - so I measure either the battery or if it's missing I measure the battery compartment. Cheers, Colin

Yes! Totally! They can be very frustrating and finicky. Not my favorite thing to do. I had a customer lose a bunch of weight and needed 5 or 6 of these done at once!

Great!!!!

I have never been hands on with the 5700. I do like the style of holder that the 5700 uses, but you can buy this style for the Horotec version (I haven't gotten around to doing it yet though). There are so many options for the Horotec though - so if I could do it all over again I would still go with Horotec. (The 5700 is basically industry standard though, I have visited many shops that use it instead of the Horotec version.)

@@watchoffthecuff thanks for the tips!

Definitely in the learning phase, so probably overkill, but does something like this actually work? Is it safer on the watches? Horotec Rack Press Watch Case Opener with Red Suction Die Set

I saw the red suction die set in person at Horotec headquarters in Switzerland not that long ago, but have never actually used them. I do have the blue suction die set in my own shop and have used them with mixed results. I only use them if I don't have the proper die. So my advice is not to rely on them as any everyday die option. On my website I have the version that includes the Rolex, B&M, and blue suction dies, plus of course the standard adjustable fixture. I have been very happy with this setup!

Hahaha, that's awesome! Cheers, Colin

Use tweezers to pull out what is left of the stem. Usually between the inside of the case and the movement as the stem usually breaks on point where it exits the case!

@@watchoffthecuff TY

You're welcome!

The Turbo forces the hands around by exciting the driver coil. The Pulse listens for the driver coil to fire during regular operation of the timing circuit so if the hands are not moving you can determine if the watch is running or not, as the watch could not be running or the watch is running but the hands are mechanically stuck! Hope I've explained that better and not worse than the video!!!! Eeeeeek! So, they each perform a very different function, as the Turbo acts upon the watch, while the Pulse only monitors what the watch is doing (or not doing!) Cheers Colin

So glad it helped! Feel free to leave me a tip! 😁 It keeps me motivated to keep making videos! Cheers, Colin
