Hello guys,
All right with you?

I found the forum looking for help with a problem with the crown of a Tissot Chronograph.

I got my uncle's used watch. I changed the battery and was trying to adjust the time.

The crown has come off and I can't put it back on.

Did it break?

I thought about asking for your help, since where I live it is difficult to get specialized assistance.

Thanks a lot

Yes. It is a crew on crown, and the threaded portion is still screwed into the case tube. It should be possible to remove it holding it with small pliers and unscrewing. You can try pressing it back into the crown, but it will not hold unless something is done to increase friction. All that is work for a watch repairer. A replacent original  crown may be difficult to source, even for a Tissot official service center.

Thanks, jdm

I'll try in a oficial service first. 

Thank you

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
