Replacement for Diesel Watch Crown/Stem (Mens Diesel DZ7125 Big Daddy Chronograph Watch)

[Jordanwrx]

Hi Team,

Need some help as where to find a replacement Crown/ Stem for this watch,   the original broke,  tried to glue it in, with no success, the stem still coming off, tried different glues etc...

 I am not after a genuine one, anything after market , or from  Ebay/ Aliexpress  would do.

I dont know the size, or which one would be the right one to buy,  Any ideas or advise would be appreciate it.

I have attached  some photos.

 

Thanks for your help in advance :- )

If you measure it you will know the size. What to buy is really up to you.

Hi  firstly what "glue " did you use, Loctite thread lock works well, and whats the caliber number of the movement. With that we would be able to find the part numbers for a crown and stem should you wish to replace both items.

Hi Watchweasol,

I tried epoxy / and metal glue, it came off on that tiny stem 

How do you find the caliber number ?   I want to replace both crown and stem.  My watch model is  DZ-7125

Hi With the back cocer off the watch the silver movement cover will have writing on it the caliber number will probably be somthing like   VDXX or VXxx may be with a small letter after the xx  That is the maker of the module the name and model number DZ-7125 is the finishers number and do not relate to the module makers number.

Many Fashion watches quote numbers but as above but the movements differ .

As it stops even after resetting would indicate what I said before regarding dirt or dried oil etc causing the problem so its either dismantle and clean or replace the movement. It all depends on you capabilities. Or take it to a competent watchmaker for repair.  Do not spray it out with WD40 as this would lead to the watches demise even if it clears the problem in the first place, It will eventualy die.

The stem snapped in the crown, glueing is not possible. This module is also an SII VD57.

I thought that was what it was but was unsure  from the picture, hence the reason for clarification, Thanks jdm

Sorry I thought at the back of the cover plate, which has nothing on it.

The model is     SII VD57 B , I wonder whats the last letter normally stand for.

 

I did a search, if you see on page 6,  the stem size I would need to get as replacement is 0351 177 Winding stem, would that be correct ?

Also, when I search on ebay  what fitment  should I be aming for ?  some of them says fits  SW200 movement,  ETA Automatic Self Winding Movements 2035 etc,,,   sorry Im not familiar with watches, just need to get a replacement to fix it.

None if these, you have indicated the correct Seiko part number above. 

Note when bought alone the stem cost not much less than the complete quartz module, which I understand you also need to buy for another similar watch, it comes with a stem.

Once you get the part for the best chances of getting the watch to work without further damage I recommend that you give it to a local shop. 

Do not be put off but this kind of work requires some tools and experience, it is very wasy for beginners to make mistakes.

Sure jdm, that I will do. 

Thank you and thanks to watchweasol for the assistance
