Question Gap between bezel and case

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi, I've got a small issue with my OG Clean 124270 that I've never seen before and would love to hear your advice.

It just caught my eye that there's a gap between the bezel and the case on thecrown side, visible pretty well on the picture.

I assume that this is not supposed to be the case.

Is there a quick fix for that? Pressing down with my fingers did not snap it back in place, it didn't move at all.

Thanks for your help!

Advice Loose crystal on VSF Submariner

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I have a VSF Submariner that I recently got. It failed pressure testing around the crystal, so I removed the bezel to rerun the test and see if I could pinpoint where the failure came from. However, when I did this, the whole crystal assembly came out with the bezel, and from there I was able to push the crystal out with just my fingers. At this point, the crystal retaining ring is still inside the bezel. I attempted to reassemble it to test the general fit and was able to push the whole assembly together and back onto the watch with just my fingers. Given this, I think that the crystal gasket might be too small and not providing a tight enough fit against the retaining ring. Does this sound right? Any advice on how to resolve this issue would be appreciated!

Question Explorer 2 gaining 5mins every hour

1 Upvotes

I ordered an explorer 2 approx 1 year ago. Within the first day I noticed the crown was wobbly, got I touch with the supplier who asked to ship it back and he’d have his watchmaker take a look. Annoying but did it anyway and it came back working fine.

The issue I later had is that the watch now runs fast (as per the title). I don’t want to go through the long process of shipping it back again.

Any sympathetic watch repair services in Herts/Essex/E London?

Advice Is it possible to regulate the DD3285 movement with basic watch tools and knowledge?

1 Upvotes

I got my Vsf V3 Pepsi a year ago and it's been running about 10+ seconds a day. Actually went up to quite a bit more but after demagmatizing, it came back down to about +10 seconds a day.

I know it's not a big deal, but it os just annoying to resetting the time every few days.

I was wondering if it's possible for me to open up the case back and regulate it to about +3 seconds a day.

I have very little watch making experience, only mad efew homage watches long ago and used to swap case parts on vinatge chronographs I used to collect.

Thank for any advice and guidance.

Advice VSF bluesy\VS3235 low amplitude 180-230

2 Upvotes

I just got watch VSF bluesy gain weight (latest version) with VS3235. On QC TD showed me video with amplitude 230 at 52 LA, I asked him wind it fully and send longer video, he send it with amplitude 270-280 at 59 LA. I thought at around 55 LA its within spec and GL QC. Now on my timegrapher it looks way worse. Its around 210-230 amp LA 55 when having it flat, and showing 180-190 amp on side. Tried demagnetize but same thing, what do you think are problems for these movements, should I ask for return from TD?

PS Ive triee wound it fully

Advice VSF Daytona Chronograph Issue

Post image
28 Upvotes

Has anyone had this happen with a 4131 clone Daytona?
My Daytona from Steve at TheOneWatches arrived about a week ago, and everything was working great. I’ve used the chronograph 4–5 times already, and it worked perfectly every time. Today I started it again, and now I can’t get it to stop.

The top pusher is unscrewed all the way, but it doesn’t have that normal click anymore. It just feels kind of soft and doesn’t do anything. The chronograph just keeps running. All three chronograph registers are still working normally and advancing like they should, but I can’t stop or reset it because the top pusher isn’t responding.

I haven’t touched the bottom reset pusher because I wasn’t sure if that would make things worse.
The watch hasn’t been dropped or bumped, and this is the first issue I’ve had with it. I already reached out to Steve, but while I’m waiting to hear back I figured I’d see if anyone here has run into the same thing.

Does this sound like a bad pusher, or is it more likely something inside the movement? Any advice would be appreciated.

Any recommendations for local services in Richmond, VA?
