Today i'm wearing an "Erso" with a copper dial which I just finished servicing. Can't decide whether I like it or hate it..

Well, I've never seen a copper dial before - I see what you mean about not being sure whether you like it or not. The movement looks very nice - good timekeeper?

Yes actually. It was a bit all-over-the-place before I cleaned it, but it's better now, although my timing machine still goes bananas if I test it in the crown-up position...

I really like the copper dial! I'm thinking of getting a dial refinished in a copper color for one of my future watch builds.

I have a Venus 170 chronograph movement complete with "Chronograph Suisse" copper finished dial and hands that I must get a case for sometime. The movement is stunning, but small compared to the Landeron movements.

I love the watch and combination of colors. To be honest, and this is not the case, I was not too hot about orange dials but once I finished a diver with one I'm falling in love with those too. The copper color is certainly rare and a beauty. I find it more sophisticated that simple orange.

 

The lemon citizen is real pretty too Mark!

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

      Tissot case back removal

      By watchweasol · Posted

      The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools

      About repair watch's jewel.

      By jhoho202 · Posted

      I don't think I need to know more about the Orient watch question, so please don't write anything related to the topic, but if you know where I can buy the watch's jewels = rubies and gems shock protection, I would like to know.

      It's an exhibition back so no access as you suggest.

      Phinney Walker Mickey Mouse Watch HELP

      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.
