The screw on my watch clasp is broken, does anyone know where I can get something like this? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
If you end up buying a new one and decide to sell parts of this one please let me know | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
What’s broken? Is it stripped? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Loctite | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
It comes out all the time | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
It’s not broken. Get blue loctite thread locker. It’s number 242. Do not get any other color no matter what anyone tells you. Put a tiny drop on the thread and screw it in. Let it dry unmoved for 24 hours before putting it back on. This should resolve your problem if there’s nothing wrong with the screw. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Purple (222 loctite) is also a valid option since it’s a bit weaker and well suited for this application | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
222 is the only one I’d use on these small screws, any more is overkill and a pain to remove without excessive heat and/or torque | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
The reason I say 242 over 222 here is because 222 is fine for screws that aren’t backing out often. The ones that do like OP, the 242 added strength is a huge advantage and still easy to remove. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
I use 242 also. Never had an issue when I needed to take the screw out again. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
This CF Daytona bezel is misaligned. Does somone has experience or knowledge how to open it and put it back without damaging the piece? Is it doable at home?
Thanks in advance | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Not CF !!!!!🤦🏻♂️ | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Not CF, looks like the First reps of the new 2023 Daytonas: 11 series dials and 12 series case/bezel. Not good. If the movement is any 4130 you can at least change the dial and make it decent | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Not only is it not CF, it’s not even the correct dial | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
I know the dial is wrong. I already got the refund but the watch came back to me. Trying to fix the bezel and sell it on. Tips are welcome | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Ceramic bezels are very fragile. They are easy to break without the proper tools, like a bezel removal tool and a case press in the very least. Anytime you remove a bezel you should also change the crystal gasket to a new one. Not something I would suggest doing yourself at home if you don’t have these things. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
That’s good to know, this is a relatively easy fix with the right tool with this watch, if you search bezel removal Daytona you’ll see how to do it. You want to ensure that the Crystal does not rotate if it actually has the laser etching. Not sure, mate, but this one looks like an early ZF to me…best of luck. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Early ZF is a good call | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Not sure if this is the right place but figured I’d give it a shot. Do any of the reps have the laser etched crown in the glass or is there a particular manufacturer that makes them that way? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
All high end tiers have it. The older vintage models don’t | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Ok. So I just got a Batman from ARF it should have it? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Yes but if it's anything as good as gen it's hard to see | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Almost all reps nowadays have it. I have a shitter which is my first watch ever and it has it too. Difference is that, in the good ones, it's harder to see (almost impossible to see in gens). In the shitter, it's very obvious. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
This is something that started late 2002 by Rolex. You should see this on all reps these day. Quality of the etch is determined on the tier of rep. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Yes 100% | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
So here goes nothing hahaha
I’m having a hard time swapping my jubilee bracelet on my new Pepsi to an oyster bracelet - bought myself a 10$ tweezer on Amazon and when trying to install the oyster bracelet, I always struggle to get to the point of push both sides of the spring bar into the bracelet while pushing the wat... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Remove one of the link screws so you can work with the bracelet in 2 pieces/not have to work around the bracelet. That is something that helps me, but other than that just trial and error and finesse | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Pull a screw like first comment says.
Add a little tape to your lugs while you practice or you with scratch the bejesus out of it.
Also, cheap tweezers suck. Get a spring bar tool. Google videos to show how butnyou have to pull the spring bar back and disengage one side at a time and kind of rock the bracelet o... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Yeah I’m having the same trouble with a bracelet you are cannot get that spring bar to lock in I think I’m gonna bring mine to a watch shop and just get someone to look at it | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
**Update & Solution**: thanks a lot to all of you, here is my approach: dissect the bracelet into smaller parts as suggested **and then** using duct tape to tape the bracelet on one end to the table, with the spring bar on the other end, so that when I try to use the tweezers the bracelet has pretty much no movement an... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Odd question, my new clean jubilee is just a bit tight and I need a couple spare links for a jubilee clean bracelet. Do you have any extra you will part with/sell? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Bergeon spring bar tool 6767, nothing that tries to do both sides at once. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
So I just ended up taking mine to a little watch repair place at my nearest mall and the girl had it done in 3 minutes and charged me $4 lol she said if I would have done what the top comment suggested and remove one link to be able to deal with that piece separately makes it so much easier but just figured I’d comment... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
Hello guys, I have the following Problem. I own a CF Submariner and After i brought it to a watchsmith for rotor silencing the power reserve is a disaster. If I wind it manually, the power reserve lasts 45 hours and is Great, but if I don't wind it manually but just wear it, the power reserve hardly charges and the wat... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Sounds like your watchsmith either over tightened, or over oiled the rotor and it’s no longer self winding. Also possible something else in the automatic module isn’t functioning properly to allow winding. I’d take it back. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Silenced by removing it 🐸 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
He probably dumped some random grease in it and now your automatic bridge is all gummed up. I see it all of the time. Hopefully it didn't spread further yet, you'll have timekeeping issues.
The automatic bridge and rotor need to be cleaned and lubricated properly. Until this is fixed those parts are being strained an... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |

Watch experts, I come to you in a time of need.
I bought a 3KF Aquanaut with the 324 clone movement a couple months ago and I’m noticing a concerning amount of time loss or time gain whenever Im wearing the watch and theres any major movement occurring. Im not talking like Im going on runs or lifting with this watch on... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Hello, it’s not the first time we saw this behavior and, in case it’s not magnetized, then it may have the balance pinion broken. The problem is that maybe a 9015 Miyota won’t fit inside. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Remind me, thats the pin that goes in the center of the balance that keeps it in place right? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Exactly. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |

Here’s a video of the watch running, looks secure to me but what do you think? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
It can’t be seen just with a video, we have to check it to see the flaw… | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Oh alright | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Does Anyone know if this dial will fit on a vsf date-just 41 | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Want to know if this dial will fit vsf datejust ? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Yes it should fit. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
It depends which watch it orig. from.
If it’s from a DJ 36mm then no. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
will fit dj41 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
From a 41. I’m asking because I’ve seen the back of the have either two pins or the kind of out lip that this one has | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
I did it, it fits | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Yes | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
Yes it fits. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
Usually has alignment pins, looks like yours have been snipped off | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
I think that is for a different reference tho? I think it’s a different dial | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-07-08 |
Maybe. I’ve done 4 gen dials. 2 Rolex 2 AP and all had pins. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-07-08 |
Does anyone know if a gen dail will also fit a dj41 CF? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-07-08 |
What reference numbers were the Rolex dials for ? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-07-08 |
Yes it will | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-07-08 |
226570 explorer II
114300 grape | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
should be a different dial then on a 126334 datejust, that is most likely why | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
I know these arent the greatest tools, however these are what I am working with currently. My experience so far is one NH35 build and I'm currently working on my first 3135.
With that said, is there a guide somewhere that teaches you what side/tip of tool needs to be used for the hours/minutes/seconds, respectfully f... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Or if these are just completely useless for hand setting on a 3135 can you let me know why and what would be the better alternative. Thanks again guys. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
They will work just start with small and push down gently making sure not the hour hand doesn’t scrape the dial | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
These work, I have them and have used them a fair amount of times | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
I typically only ever use the blue/gold tool. Blue for hour hand and either blue/gold for minute. Gold for seconds hand | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Thank you all for your help! I will keep on practicing! Maybe on some more cheaper movements! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Yep same here | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
Look at the pinion face and go one step down on your tool. This will give you clearance but not enough to push past the pinion the hand should be level with. I have a set of horotecs and those are my preferred way to set hands. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
biggest hole one for hour/min, seconds hand gets otherwise.
not sure why folks saying only the gold/blue one, the blue one barely has any divot at all so you wont clear seconds pinion on mine so its basically useless, tho i guess you could drill it out as a mod if you wanted
but i do other than NH35, so going big for... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |

Hi everyone,
Just got my APSF Jaeger Le Coultre Master Ultra Thin Moonphase delivered from GeekTime last week and all was working well until this morning. When I went to adjust the seconds hand everything worked fine but then when I pushed the crown back in, the minutes hand was still adjustable.
I’ve tried pulling ... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
I’ll also add, when trying to adjust it, I pulled the stem / crown all the way out of the watch by accident. Not sure if this causes any issues too. The issue was happening before I did this. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
If you were able to pull the stem all the way out it seems reasonable to assume you're having some issues in the keyless system. Hopefully it just needs a reset. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Had the same happen to mine. Had to open up the case back and just pressed the stem release while putting the stem back and it was all good after | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Thanks! What does the stem release look like/any guides you can point me to? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Hey folks! I recently bought a franken 116610LN from another Redditor. It looks great, but me being a perfectionist can't get past the fact that the dial is slightly misaligned from the rehaut/case/bezel, and the crystal is further misaligned with the dial.
Is this something that I can fix myself by opening up the ca... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
How much did you end up paying for that | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Do you have any experience in dealing with watch modifications and the necessary tools? If not, then you’d better leave it alone. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
I can do basic stuff. I’ve disassembled and reassembled a movement before. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
About $2400, which isn’t bad considering the cost of the Gen parts involved. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
The dial could definitely be rotated slightly by loosening the movement clamps. The crystal alignment can be sorted too but that's a bit more work as you'll have to remove the bezel and movement before pressing out the crystal. You'll also need a custom die to repress the crystal retaining ring back on. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Thanks, this is helpful!
My concern about adjusting only the dial is that the crystal is badly misaligned with the case - the dial in its current position is actually kinda halfway aligned between the case and the crystal. So if I only fix the dial alignment, it's gonna look worse, not better.
I'm OK with removing ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
True, but if you want to be happy then that crystal has to fixed. RWI has plenty of info on how to remove and refit the crystal and bezel. You will probably also need a new hytrel gasket for the bezel as they are quite often damaged when removing the bezel. They can be found on Aliexpress. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Would I have to realign the date wheel too when I align the dial? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
You wouldn't be aligning the dial as such. You'd be rotating the movement slightly to get the dial to line up with the rehaut. There's normally a bit of play in both directions when clamping the movement to the case. Do it with the stem in place but not screwed down so you know the limits of how far you can rotate it. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Awesome. Thank you! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
If you've got the money for this why would you not save up more and buy a gen? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Fair question. I own a bunch of gens. The difference between a $2400 Frankenstein and a $12000 Gen is, for me, the difference between an impulse purchase and something I’d have to budget for. Everybody’s different though. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Yeah, I see your point. Everybody is different mate, all that really does matter is if you're happy. Got any other Franks? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
It really depends if the rehaut engravings are good to start off with ,as if you rotate the movement& dial to match with rehaut may give unnecessary force to the stem and you don't want that , over time it will compromise the keyless works . | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Yep. I’ve got an AP RO 15400OR with a Gen dial, for instance. It’s fun. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Yeah I’m a bit worried about that. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Rotate the crystal sure but I’d probably leave the rest alone because even gen Rolex has rehaut alignment issues and it’s never fun chasing that perfection when it might be unattainable. Make sure you have a quality crystal press. Learned that this week the hard way. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
That’s a good point. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-06-08 |
Looking to take my VSF dj41 to get a gen dial installed. Most of the watch smiths that u have talked to on here have a 4-6 week wait.
