Most of you on here would almost certainly be experts already - I'm not. But one of my watches is a Tissot T-Touch Smart Watch, and I wasn't sure how to get the back off it. It LOOKS like a screw-type back, complete with recesses for a crab claw or Jaxa - but it's not. It's a snap-off/on type. For anyone who may need to get into one of these, for a battery change, or for a more intensive service, here is a link I found with detailed instructions and excellent photos. One very important piece of advice he gives is to point out the pressure sensor that is exposed once the back comes off. The watch, by the way, takes a CR1632 3-volt battery.

Did you check out the time keeping before you demaged it. It's quite possible that the watch would run slow when on the owners wrist next to the magnetic bracelet but would run correctly when the external magnetic field was removed, without any other intervention. I used to work in a metal fabrication shop and it was taken as red that you had to remove your watch whenever using the spot welders as they would mess with your time keeping, quartz or mechanical. If you think about it the heart of a quartz movement is a stepper motor with a magnetized rotor (stator?). It makes sense that the presence of an external magnetic field could influence the operation of the movement.

Yes - I have used them, they are good. But the Elma one is better, however a heck of a lot more expensive. I believe I spotted one on Lee's bench.

I have one of these and use it occasionally for really tight snap on backs. The quality leaves a bit to be desired, but it is OK for the money and does the job.

No payment for this one but the possibility of a snog under the mistletoe :thumbsu: Don,t tell her in doors

Hi Geo, Well, the watch has been running without interruption now since 19th December so I think we can safely say its fixed ! I (think) it was a combination of the fourth wheel pivot being slight off centre in effect causing the seconds hand to move in an ellipse and I also gave the dial aperture a light smoothing with a diamond file just to be on the safe side. Thanks again for the great advise Geo. Merry Christmas all !

Yes, I'v been subscribed to perplxr for a while now. Very good videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/perplxr

Got it back together and running! Took me forever to get the train wheel bridge on since I had to deal with getting the two train wheels and the escape into the jewels. I think I did a pretty good job. I'll probably do this procedure again before trying something else. I'm still checking eBay daily for things to buy and i'm hoping to get something similar to the AS1900 so I can follow that video.

This is the watch I had to stop the Rolex service to make. It's for our middle Daughter, who, as I write this is in labour with our latest Grand child, No 6. I hope she likes it when she is up and around..... It has a movement from a Rotary watch, hence the logo.

Sorry Blacklab wrong one try this one. watch lift angles 2.pdf LiftAnglesandBeats 1.pdf
