Search Results for ‘alignment’

I just bought this beautiful Seiko , but I can’t tell if It is aligned or not. And since it doesn’t have a chapter ring, I can’t figure out what would need to be changed to line it up. Am I trippin? Any input?

I recently received my Seiko SRP777 after I sent it in for modifications. My only complaint is that the chapter ring was not installed correctly (shop claimed it wasn't even indexed correctly). It got me to wondering if there are any aftermarket dials for the SRP that have minute indicators...

I have a new Ocean Vintage GMT (4 weeks old), and while adjusting the GMT hand for a visit to China I noticed that the GMT hand is not correctly aligned with the hour hand, it is 20 minutes behind. Like when it is exactly 10:00, the GMT hand is pointing at 09:40 on the 24 hour bezel, when they...

Hey watch addicts! I just got my SKX013K2 in the mail and was disappointed to see the triangle on the bezel doesn't line up to the 12 o'clock marker. Its either to the left or to the right depending where you click it. Also, the 6 o'clock marker doesn't line up with the 30 minute marker on the...

The hour hand on my Orient Ray II is always a bit in advance of the real time. For instance, when the minute hand says 12, the hour hand says it's about 10 minutes after the hour. Has anybody else run into this? The only way I can think of to fix it is to open the watch up and move the hour hand...

Hello, I have an SKX173 with a manufacturing date of February '15. It was purchased from Amazon in December '15 with the full Seiko warranty. It was bought for me as a gift and is my first automatic watch. I put it on a Strapcode Super Oyster and I love it. The chapter ring is loose, and...

I've noticed a few threads about bezel inserts arriving crooked from Steinhart. This was the case with my O1C out of the box. It was about 15 seconds off CCW, and it bugged me to no end that first day wearing it. It was an easy fix however. The insert is held to the bezel frame with an adhesive...

Hello everyone, New blood has been spilled in the luxury watch pool. While I have been wearing a wristwatch since I was 11 (now 32) the Omega Seamaster 300 Professional is the first >300 euro watch I have ever owned. I received it last week (new from an AD in the Netherlands) and the design...

I'm at the office with little to do, wearing my Omega Seamaster 200m Pre-Bond. Love this watch, but the bezel is off by around 1/2 a click so it just doesn't line up and the longer I own the watch, the more it bothers me. This is a solid gold bezel so buying a new one would be outrageous (and...

I happened to look at my watch a exactly six o'clock today and I noticed that the hour hand looks slightly ahead of where it should be. It is only really noticeable in relation to the seconds subdial. The weird thing is that the hands align perfectly on top of one another at 12 o'clock (and I...

Hi, I am totally new here so i hope I am doing this correctly. I am the proud owner of a Tag Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph This is the exact model: TAG Heuer CARRERA | TAG Heuer Today I noticed that the stopwatch timer hand (the long one) is not resetting is the right position...

Hi, I recently purchased a new PRC200 online. On the first one I received I noticed the second hand did not quite hit all of the markers. I realized this was a pretty minor thing but it bugged me enough to send it back for another one, hoping that it would of course be better. The replacement...

I am slowly working my way through learning watch modification and repair. I have become adept at replacing dials, hands, bezels / inserts, etc... but am struggling a bit when it comes to replacing crystal. Last night I spent a few hours trying to replace the crystal on a Seiko SKX007 watch and...

so I just got a carrera automatic off ebay, and it looks new and genuine (came with box, manual, owners ID card, everything legit, even the stupid bag it came with from the actual store) and the watch looks fantastic, not a scratch nothing at all. But it came with the two hands out of...

Hello Everyone. I recently purchased a Baume & Mercier 8379 and I noticed that each time I click the rapid date change, the actual date numbers rest in the position you see in the first picture. However, when I remain in the date change position, I noticed that I can position the number back...

I recently purchased a Baume & Mercier 8379 and I noticed that each time I click the rapid date change, the actual date numbers rest in the position you see in the first picture. However, when I remain in the date change position, I noticed that I can position the number back down towards the...

Hi All, After purchasing my Sea-Gull M199S, I noticed that all of the hands lined up flawlessly. However, after just the first two weeks or so, I noticed that the chrono second hand was just a little bit off (please see pic). Note this is the ONLY thing I've found against this...
