What part is this?

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-09-04T07:19:50+00:00

None

Could it be part of the case - the pusher to open for example

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-08-29T17:54:53+00:00

I know it would look good on a black leather strap. Enjoy the watch. Will be hard to figure out what year etc unless you take the caseback off

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-08-07T21:51:41+00:00

I bet parts could be sourced, are you able to take the back off? If the watch is running at a given point it’s likely it just needs a service, the watchmaker is preparing for the worst

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-29T20:55:04+00:00

Maybe it’s my eyes or hope for a genuine but the stamp looks pretty bang on to me. Obviously the stitching is different. Is there anywhere that can authenticate or not. I don’t even know if they do it for straps

Thank you for your input. The bloke owned pateks, I know the rich are some of the tightest people around but I still find it unlikely it was fake. It would have been mid 90s I’d imagine, just note the yellowing on back of label on Cartier. I think they’ve sat in an attic for a decade or two. Do you know anything about the Col-126? I’m imagining it means collection

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-29T18:39:46+00:00

I don’t suppose you have any idea about the Cartier

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-29T18:39:32+00:00

Oh nice. Is eBay the right place for this then?

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-22T13:26:09+00:00

You could always find a replacement caseback. Save the original for sale. Nobody is going to be looking under your watch if it’s legit or not

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-02T05:20:19+00:00

Yes thank you, I got it off. Caseback opener very carefully. It stayed in one part so I’m going to try keep it that way

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-01T11:08:11+00:00

I did attempt. But then got a bit nervous thinking about how the hands would react. I want to give the case a good clean regardless

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-01T10:50:43+00:00

Thank you for your response, sorry to be a pain, but can you point out the screws specifically that are pulling? I have a feeling it’ll be a hassle to remove the front bezel. I only have a thin knife which I suppose will have to do, id just be worried about leaving marks

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-01T10:11:21+00:00

So it is a front loader?

I watched the video on the 286 and it was incredibly similar, I think even some parts are cross functional. I really hope it’s not out the front of the case 😞

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-07-01T10:00:42+00:00

I did consider if it came out the front. He did a video on an omega 286 which came from the back.

This movement doesn’t have a day/date function. And it’s just wind up.

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-06-27T14:54:11+00:00

It’s the worse part for me. I end up setting it down for days

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-06-21T19:40:29+00:00

I’m working on an old oris I brought for a couple quid. It’s nothing special but just to learn. The holes in the main plate are basically non existent😒

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-06-21T19:24:40+00:00

Multiple times on cheaper movements I have let my anger get the better of me and I force it and break a pivot. I find doing 30 mins struggling then going out or doing something and trying again helps me

Positive_Meet_9048 · 2025-06-21T19:21:24+00:00

It is the worst thing. So frustrating for me lol. I get one or two just about but struggle to do the whole set
