My oiler is pointing to the part I need the part number for.  That hole in it is supposed to have a pin in it that changes the date wheel.  This is a Benrus day and date pointer.  Please help.

Thanks Geotex that is just what is needed but I'm still a bit confused because the photo is a bit fuzzy.  One part has 2 numbers 556 & 560. Are they 2 different parts?  Even with the excellent help I'm still confused on what part I need.

It seems to be a composite part that fills the role of two of the parts from the standard Swiss numbering system so they list both numbers for it. You see that sometimes. The Benrus price list showed it as a single item to purchase. 

I'm not sure you are going to find a source just for that part, so as mentioned above you might try to repair it by replacing the missing pin portion, or you can grab it from a parts donor movement. I pulled that wheel from a parts movement this evening to see what it looks like (see pictures) and it shows signs that someone has already done some work on this one to either secure or replace the stud, so maybe that was a common problem.  

Are you taking pictures and considering posting a walk-through? This is a commonly-seen complication in used watch listings but there isn't a lot of information on it. The quickset date function triggered by pushing the stem IN is unusual, and I have the Benrus CE on my list to tackle after I get a bit more experience with calendar mechanisms.

You have been a great help. I don't think I'm experienced enough to do a walk-through but parts 576 and 577 might look the same but definitely aren't.

      Phinney Walker Mickey Mouse Watch HELP

      By Mercurial · Posted

      I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark

      Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.

      The case back is perfectly aligned to the case and has no provisions for a screwing tool. The T-Sport series has snap on backs.

      For me the text looks too aligned and with no obvious way to grip as a screw back.

      There’s no indents & there’s no little groove to pry it off anywhere! So I don’t know if it’s screw down or pry off 👍
