I'm having trouble trying to keep this movement in place in the case. It has a metal ring which stops it from moving backwards and forwards when the cashback is screwed on but it doesn't do much to stop it from rotating or moving side to side. The video shows how much it moves around and even with the stem in it still moves around a lot. How can I keep it from moving?
Apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm just getting started in amateur watch repair and I'm having trouble with this case. I can't see any way of opening the caseback, but there is a notch in the side of the case. Could it be that the caseback is fixed in place and the method of opening the watch is by prying the two pieces of the case apart? I'm not sure if that notch is for opening the case or is just old damage.
I bought a cheap watch repair tool kit to try do some basic maintenance and repairs on some watches. It included this device and I don't know what it is for. Some kind of press but what the are holes in the side for? Can someone tell me what it is used for?
Hi all, I'm new to vintage watches and wanted to get help from those more experienced than me. I'm looking at a 1970s Longines Flagship and I would appreciate your thoughts. Does it look legit? Does the dial fit the age of the watch? Anything else I should be looking for or be careful of? I've attached a few photos.
The model number is 4006-1 and it's a caliber 6952 movement.
