Citizen Navihawk WR 100 Repair Advice Needed

[jdrichard]

I am looking for a Citizen WR 100 C300 mode button, or a spec or picture of one. If I cant source the button, i will try and make one on my Lathe. Thoughts, help, advice or “what are you thinking” : wanted.

I'm pretty certain that the pushers for C300 are interchangeable with various other models and maybe even brands... It's a pretty generic pusher if you ask me.

The mode pusher also pulls out, making the shape of it different from the other three pushers.

Have you ever made a push button on the lathe before, no matter its shape or model?

I think that only by trying first you can assess yourself the feasibility of such a task for your current machining skills and equipment.

Ok here is what i did. I used a crown with a long pipe. I put it in my lathe and got rid of all but the very top edge so you can grip it with your nails an pull the button out. Ta Da:)
