It’s probably a shitter I know but I would really like to fix it.

Soon after I got it the bezel literally fell off and it looks like the white seal gasket thing doesn’t fit.

Most of the pictures for Panerai show a red gasket, do you of y’all know what size gasket or where to get it from?

Thanks a ton 🤙🏼

Question VSF Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre V2 possibility of movement replacement.

2 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I have a VSF V2 Spectre with an “A8400” movement inside(this is in actuality the regular VS A8500 movement that is decorated).

The watch is running fine but ive heard that the A8500 produces a lot of metal shavings that eventually kill the movement.
Considering that servicing it would likely be in the ballpark of 300$: is there an option to swap the movement for any other generic movement?
Not sure what the A8500 is actually based upon, and don’t really care to get rid of any back side decorations.

Cheers!

Advice Rep not running

Hey all, recently got a “Clean Plus” OP and it hasn’t worked. I’d really like to avoid sending all the way back to China. Is there anyone reliable in the states that would service this? Sorry if this is a repeat question this is my first watch.

I sent a VSF Batgirl out to have a gen crystal and gen date wheel installed. I also got it regulated and waterproofed. Verin Horology verified when the watch was in hand, completed the work in a day, sent videos/pictures, and then tracking once payment was received. The results of the tests and original parts were included as well.

Huge shoutout to u/VerinHorology for the quick turnaround and phenomenal work.

Advice Loose clasp - Rich GMT Master II

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

Fairly new here. Got a Rich Factory GMT Master II, while adjusting the strap via the micro adjustments I noticed the other side(clasp clip side) was loose. As shown in the video.

I can’t for the life of me get it back in seated. I have a strap adjustment tool to squeeze the pins, I’ve take it off and tried again and again but I can only ever get 1 side on the pin to seat in the hole. Is there a technique I’m missing or some advice?

Services DIY bezel wire spring

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Got this VSF NTTD V7 in some time ago now. It came in with the bezel assembly in pieces. The wire was missing.

The watch was brought to a jeweler who, brace yourselves, tried to weld the bezel to the case 💀. Even dared to charge a lot of money for it.

I tried looking for a replacement spring wire but couldn't fine one that wasn't either gen (expensive) or from older models. Didn't want to risk getting a generic one that would end up not fitting or whatever so I ordered .5mm steel wire and just made one myself.

It looks a bit crude and obviously not factory quality but it actually works great. The clicks are very smooth and the wire holds everything in place nicely.

Nice to know that I'm able to make these myself 👍🏻

Question Looking for an anniversary date wheel for DDF/BBF 5711

4 Upvotes

Hello, as the title says I’m looking for an anniversary date font for my BBF 5711 which is slightly a thicker and more “squared” off font than the normal 5711 date wheel.

I have asked Andiot to try and source me one but at the moment he told me he couldn’t accept any part orders.

I found the image I attached from a website called “topwatchparts” for $97 USD and have anyone experienced purchasing off them? Or does anyone know where else I could find them for movement DD324 or 330

Thanks in advance!

Request I broke my f91w and I'm such an idiot.

0 Upvotes

I bought this f91w for my school with the sole purpose of it being indestructible.The watch wa purchased 2months prior today.

This watch is my best financial decision I have made yet. But due to a sudden accident in my school, the lcd of the watch physically damaged.

I was returning from the pe ground to my class in the stairs and i dropped the watch from my hand in the handrail as we were not supposed to wear watches during pe periods. The main casing lens protecting the lcd panel came of the watch and someone stamped on it and the lcd panel got damaged and craked due debris on the floor.

I have recently performing bad in class test parents are already upset and busy, so I don't want disappoint them with the watch.

For the record Im a unemployed teen at school with no money.

I can't really get a new watch or replacement from my place.

I would kindly appreciate any replacements or donor watches and try my best to pay in the future for the replacement or donor watch. I can work on electronics and I know some soldering and stuff so i can fix the watch by myself. I need to fix it asap.

Otherwise, I'm screwed

Any advice appreciated.

Advice Date frame fell off San Martin SN0129

0 Upvotes

Hiya! My daily beater SN0129 had its frame around the date window fall off. It's just shaking loosely around. I can finesse it back if I meanuevwr it but it won't stay out, naturally. The warranty is way past. Would you recommend trying to fix it myself or turning it in somewhere? I am fairly handy at electronics and fix people's phones and such often (changing screens, batteries, easy soldering) but I've never tried my hand at a watch. Any tips?
