Hi all, thanks for accepting me. I have a Lumi- nox 3080 which is my daily wearer, recently the back was cracked in three of four corners by a shop that changed the battery.  Unfortunately  I didn't notice until a few days later after it got slightly wet and steamed up. Does anyone know where I could find a new carbon back ? Thanks, David.

I would take it back to the shop and pull them up on the damage they created. If it was them, they'd be expecting you.

Are you sure they replaced the case back gasket, as this would make a huge difference?

I would go in guns blazing if that happened to me. You're not expected to notice the damage they created until, as you said, condensation starts to occur. Pull them on their BS!

Unless the Luminox watch company sells case backs, which I very much doubt, you'll need to find a case back secondhand on the bay. This is what you're after: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285498984897?epid=1501271206&hash=item427910c9c1:g:oGQAAOSwf4JlGeox&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4JoZk6txTtZEKsXtT%2FS10C3LtQaQCW94JWXjTZP0s1noyPqTSeDvDXo0pD61EmPugXT%2F%2BD8FTsVHseUDyLKsvkfep%2FmWvBsp2IW3sEh1zdOrYL3WGOl%2Flw%2FiOeOrNr%2BvPvESltEpLQhP5oIVrIoNDxhE%2ByQALQx94%2BEXp3dpKDaFgilLdBb9N6StUx5935%2BSRHc9ZDHYl9hA61d0fh%2F3%2F9KKlke5u2IhFVgRK4MJIPzqQ%2BBu67%2F1wxA1K3wj4pBDwsWsCewhmiVLIdI0PG1V1dxg9MqyoCyLCBfL4j3yIc%2Bk|tkp%3ABk9SR9qOxvDgYg

    • Thank you @Mark. I only became a Patreon subscriber 5 or 6 months ago, but I draw so much value here. If you come up with future contribution or support opportunities, I will be on board.
    • 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.
    • Of course it will continue Richard.
    • 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 🐣
