If you found a guy I would ask him about getting it serviced especially since you mentioned the crunchy time setting. Usually they are not oiled properly and need to be serviced when purchased because they will likely fail. If you have it serviced it should last a lot longer. Enjoy your watch. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Great point, I'll definitely ask about that. Thanks! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Does anybody know what the problem would be? The crown seems to disengage after a few turns
| r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
looks like the crown may not be secured to the stem with loctite or something. the counterclockwise direction is the unscrewing direction of the stem from the crown. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Seconding this. As somebody who’s built a few watches, I’ve done this a time or two. The hands stop moving when the crown loses traction. If you keep loosening it you’ll be able to take it right off | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Would I have to take the back off and get into the movement to tighten it? I’ve never worked on a watch before but I’m willing to try | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Yes. It’s actually not a super difficult process. Check out a couple videos on how to remove caseback and stem without damaging the keyless. I believe the day-dates use a clone ETA 2836 movement and if that’s the case the keyless are very finneky. You’ll need a 1.2 or a 1.4mm screwdriver to press the button and that in... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Crown needs to be pulled out to the time setting position too for removal. Do not forget this step. To re-insert, gently wiggle it back in place while gently pressing towards the movement. You’ll feel it click | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Daydates have 3255 movement now too | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Yeah it’s a 2836 movement I’ll watch some videos about it. Thanks | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Great point. Also OP use a screwdriver to press down the release and not something pointed. If you use something pointed, you can easily push the release under the yoke, and that's bad. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
I am an idiot. I see you said the same thing above. I will be quiet now. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Hey guys, I was trying to remove the 2836-2 movement from this raffles dial. I took off the stem and removed movement holders, but it looks like this golden ring doesnt let the movement get out. It wobbles, but it clearly shows that the golden ring is blocking the way. Is there any way to remove the movement from the b... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
sometimes those rings get stuck in there pretty well, either from exposed tape on the underside of the dial or just from friction with the case. it should come out. have you tried using a small screwdriver to wiggle it loose? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
That screw nearest the crown in the 4th picture is the movement holder screw. Have you tried removing this first? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Take the (2) movement tabs out, and the crown, then take a small screwdriver and gently wiggle the brass ring out and it should come right out. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Yes, I have tried to do this. It does wiggle but still doesnt come out | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |

Hi all, can you tell me which arm is for adjusting beat error and which is for regulation? They seem to be reversed from what I see in general watch regulation videos on youtube.
This is a GMF OP39 rep with A3132 movement. Thanks for any help! | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
The one on the right with two dots is rate. Beat error is the left. The beat error arm is always the one the hairspring terminates in. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Thank you much! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Anytime. Be careful not to touch the wrong one. And for regulating those final couple of seconds one way or another, barely touching the arm will be all you need. Sometimes little more than touching the tip of my tool to it will +/- a second or two. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Where or how can I get this fixed | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Easy fix if you’re in the US. Had to re-glue every indice on a Navitimer for a guy last week. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |

I’m not sure, how can I tell? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
Got a Clean Explorer 36mm and the rotor has always been noisy. Finally opened it up to find the screw was broken at the head.
Looks like $45 on eBay for a genuine one. Is there any way to get replica parts or should I just bite the bullet and buy gen? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-27-07 |
Can get a whole clone movement for like $65 or something like that on Ali, so I'd do that over a gen one. Gets you other spares.
Though this is at least the third time ive seen this particular failure, so may be a rep mvmt design flaw? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-27-07 |
DM me… I have a few of these in my parts drawer. I can mail you one. Do you have the triangular screw driver to screw it back in? Btw: it’s not a spring, it’s just a socket screw. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-27-07 |
Thanks will do! I was going to order one of the screwdrivers. Who knows why I put spring in the title and screw in the description…long day | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-27-07 |
I had the same issue. The screw itself committed suicide and lodged itself in my movement spring, stalled the whole movement. Ended up buying a gen screw on eBay for $40.
There’s a way to order one on taobao I think. Let me find it.

Hey all! I’m thinking about buying a MGF reverso duo rep but it appears to be a relatively uncommon watch with a weird custom movement and I’d really want to get it serviced. Is there anyone out there that has experience with it or does anyone know who I should reach out to about less common reps like this? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-27-07 |
What is wrong with it? Any photos? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-27-07 |
No issues yet, I’m just thinking about buying one and heard the movements from the MGF factory can be hit or miss. I was a little hesitant to make the purchase without knowing there are folks out there that can service them if they have issues | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-27-07 |

Amazing start i want to service my watch as im seeing most people charge 3-500 dollars hich is how much the watch cost am hoping to be able to donit myself and save some money in the long run hopefully i dont break anything lol | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
Learning how to service a movement will cost you *FAR* more than $300-$500 but it’ll be a rewarding experience. You’ll spend at least $300 on your first set of shitty tools which you’ll use for a year or two before you’ll buy a few nice tools for a few hundred each. Then you’ll feel the difference between good and bad ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
What makes the better tools worth it? If you can get the job done with the cheaper tools is it more ease of use or just the quality of feel 300 to 10,000 seems ljke a huge jump you could buy the cheap set for every watch ill have in my collection and still not spend 10,000 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
Fit and finish is a big part of it. But also mass, you can press a bezel on with a $15 stamped steel press from Amazon, but it feels janky and you’ll break stuff because it’s not aligned or rigid. A $1000 cast iron 7kg bench watch press has machined and precision ground surfaces and will always press vertically. Same f... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
This will just be for my own watches maybe every 4-5 years as if now i only have one and don’t think ill ever go over 10.

Looks okay but why would you want that? The regulating arms are hard to reach and ist way more expensive than a arguably better VS3135. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
Just wondered if they upgraded something that makes it worth more than a VS3135. If not, then I guess VS3135 is still a best one. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
Apart from better polishing , imo they are the same as the previous vr3135 model .
Personally would choose the previous model as the automatic module and the balance assembly is not custom hence getting parts for them is easier than these slightly modified ones
Or just go for vs3135 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
I just went for VS3135. Thank you for clearifying 🙏🏼 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |

for the price i paid, i am surprised they are this good. they will serve me just fine.

Thats how i feel, just gave a straight answer to his question. Do you need a bergeon 30€ air blower? No. But he also paid very little for these parts, so the quality is what he paid for.

they are fine and adequate for the usage on reps.
the most hilarous part about this subreddit, is supposed "modders" who purchase 5000$ worth of bergeon tools to repair a 500$ watch which was like max 100$ production price | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
so are you saying, just because im working on a rep, i am allowed to do a shitty job on my service?
People are paying real , hard earned money for a service, im going to give them the best service i can offer. Rep or gen i dont care | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
this isn't a question thread. i asked about these tools about 2 weeks ago. i didn't want to bother with the other thread, so i made this to show the guys that advised me then. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-28-07 |
i think he is saying to only work on 1 watch.

I respect your eye for detail and giving customers a great service, but using expensive tools that watchmakers use, doesn’t necessarily translate to a better service.

Actually, all the skill in the world is lost on bad tools. There is value in the proper made tools for the job.

There is an interesting effect where, due to the increased viscosity and oxygen concentration with decreasing temperature, the rate of oil oxidation is higher at -7 C than at +5 C.
