Me pregunto pq, por ejemplo citizen, no hace un calibre eco drive con gran toque que pueda manejar las manecillas del reloj como uno mecánico. Incluso pq no lo hace con segundero tipo spring drive con un barrido continuo. ¿Es imposible?
The crystal gasket has stretched on my King Quartz, there are no replacements that I have been able to find. How do you go about resealing crystals on vintage watches when parts are obsolete?
Replaced the old battery today and the guy put it back on as it was in the first image…
This is what I currently know about the watch
Omega Constellation Electronic
Chronometer f300Hz, calibre 1250, movement no. 34,793,216, approximately 1972.
I’m very aware that the back is not original and that the battery is Japanese because I bought the watch from Japan. I’m trying to find the exact reference number yet. I’m struggling very much. ChatGPT is no help. when I purchased it, It did come with no reference number and apparently usually it’s on the case back but of course Mines unoriginal so there’s no help there. anyone can help that would be really nice Nice thank you very much!

Hello everyone,
I recently bought this electromechanical watch.
Sadly it isn’t really working. I bought new batteries and the balance wheel is swinging freely. But when I shake the watch slightly it starts up but then comes to a slow stop after about 5 seconds. Does anyone know anything about these types of watches and can help me identify the problem?
Help would be greatly appreciated :)
Got my grandfather’s watch from 1973 and would like to get it working again. Replaced the battery and it’s ticking but not advancing. Any ideas?

I am looking to determine the authenticity of this Wenger watch but a few things look off.
- the logo is hexagonal in shape, not the squarcle logo.
- the WENGER font is a bit weird
- the "mercedes" dials and hands
- the "professional" inscription
I googled the photo (AI lens) and google was swearing to me it's an original!
Any input would be helpful. Much appreciated.
Hi everyone, I’m new here! I recently bought a vintage Timex Q online, but when it arrived, it wasn't working.
Looking inside, I noticed some light green corrosion on one of the pins, so I carefully cleaned it off using a wooden toothpick.
I then bought some new SR44 batteries, but I quickly realized they were too thick. I’ve now ordered LR43 batteries, but I haven't had the chance to test them yet.
I should mention that when I insert either the old battery or the new (larger) one, the movement occasionally makes a few small clicks/pulses, but nothing more than that.
Does anyone happen to know what might be wrong or what I should check next? I’ve attached some photos. Thanks a lot in advance for any help, and sorry for any amateur mistakes—I’m completely new to all of this!
Watch got sent off to seiko and as far as I know they replaced a corroded battery. Been doing the seiko shuffle on and off 10-20 minutes at a time sometimes even 30 and it’s still not working yet . Do I keep shaking or is there something else wrong? I figured if they found anything they would’ve fixed it all but of course human error is a factor . Anyone got any ideas on what I should do . Also would seiko have the inductor charger to activate the watch before sending it back?
Beginner here. First used a NH35 and came out well. For my second one I am using a VH31 but when I advance the movement, the hour hand moves 1:1 with the minute hand. It moves this speed with or without the minute hand installed. I am pretty sure that the hand is installed correctly. It is a Japanese movement. Can anyone help?
I simply can’t adjust this gorgeous watch I’ve recently bought!!
I’m thinking of selling it as it’s frustrated me…
New to this watch stuff, just picked up an old quartz seiko (7n43-9048) at a vintage shop and was attempting to change the day (which was stuck) and snapped off my crown! Looks like the stem is still in the watch head 😢. How intensive is a repair like this? The date was moving smoothly.
I need help, please. I have a problem with a Seiko quartz watch, caliber 8223. The date disc doesn't change after 12 AM.
I can use the button thingy on top to open her and fix the time. Can anybody help?
The one that started my Grand Seiko sickness.
