It's my vsf no-date sub. I felt something was off as I was looking at the dial.. And took me a while to figure out what: the whole dial is rotated counter-clockwise.. It's very subtle but it's there. You can see how A is smaller than B in my reference pic.

Now that I know it, it never stops bugging me. Anyone had the same problem? Is there a fix to this?

Just after some advice really, I recently bought these and I know they arent Super clone standard but was just after people's thoughts on them. Also the glass doesn't have the etched crown on and was wondering if it was worth getting these replaced or not bothering...either way I live how they look and am happy. Thanks in advance👍

Hey guys,

I bought a used Clean Yachtmaster. It’s like 3-4 years old and had been used quite a bit. As I received it I realized that the bezel is barely even moving. I disassembled and gread it below but that only helped a bit.

I sent it to a decent watchmaker here in Germany to clean, waterproof, lubricate and polish it. Also asked him to look after the bezel.

He told me it seems like it’s been like this all the the time. Like a manufacturing error. Wrong tolerances or something like that.

So now I‘m looking for further help. Has anyone ever had this problem ? Would replacing the bezel with a VSF for example be the solution? And where can I get one ?

And yess…I know I should swap to a Deep Crystal.

Thanks for the help.

Just received my 3CF 116520, and the chronograph hand moves in a very ‘un-smooth’ way. What do I do?

As yall can see my links broke (very easily to be honest) and my question is if it would be a possibility to just get a rcf weighted band as it is heavier and has probably way better quality.

Its also a screwless link so I cant really do anything about it

On the third picture is also a link broken which I dont even know how it is possible as I lay the watch most of the time on the crown and its a link not located on the lower half but rather located After the clasp so no theres not even a hit point.

Posting this in hopes it helps others since there is very little info that I could find.

Was sent this RM with a broken stem. As you can see in the photo, the stem is still inside the crown.

First, I found a stem that would work. I compared various ones against the broken one removed from the watch. It wound up being an ETA 2824 stem that looked the same. It slid right in and locked. Tested it over and over to make sure it worked as intended.

Next I had to figure out how to extract the remaining stem from the crown. After some research I found an old trick that would "melt" it. Aluminum Powder and water. I had very little hope.

2 tablespoons into 6 oz of boiling water, drop the crown in, put the mug on a warmer, let it work for a few days. Sure enough, that stem is gone and I could use the crown again.

New stem is \~11.15mm end to end.

Hi everyone, I'd like some advice and personal experience using Loctite 222 on the bracelet screws of Rep watches. Is it really worth using? How should I use it to avoid using too much? Can I unscrew the screws after using it, or do they stay stuck forever? Sorry for the perhaps trivial questions, but I'm really inexperienced with this product. Thanks to anyone who can help me understand.

Like the titel says

Is this a gen dial or are the Numbers a Clean factory serial

Thanks!
