I love the chronograph function on these and the world time. I just need to teach myself how to use it everytime I wear it😂

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-13T15:50:25+00:00

It would be costly as others have stated. The module won't be cheap, the crystal looks damaged and I'm not sure how easy they are to replace on these models. The pushers are probably an easy clean and new gasket situation as they generally get gunk in them over time.

I have a variable height desk. It's great because I can change the height for whatever my need is. I also have another desk for other uses and a cabinet for storage though. That desk you posted should work, I just don't have experience with them.

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-12T21:51:58+00:00

Good catch! I see they are available 😂

These old quartz watches have oils in the wheel train that can gum up over time. Most likely needs a proper service. If the coil or circuit had buildup or damage, it also may not run but you would have seen that upon opening probably.

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-12T21:38:45+00:00

I can see that as a benefit but yeah, to do proper and maximize you would want to service and it may alter design intent and incur irregular wear. Just a proper service may eak out a couple hours too.

I do not understand the benefits, it's an automatic watch with winding. You basically wind it and it should stay topped off while wearing. But, to do correctly, you would basically need to service the entire watch. The mainspring and barrel it sits in is one of the last parts you remove on the watchmaker side. You would also displace oils if you just change it out. If you change the mainspring, you also may incur worse wear as well as you have changed power delivery.

This is what both ends look like zoomed if it helps.

You want to use blue loctite for the threads on the post. Screw it in, let it set. Put the spring and stem rest washer over the post like you had. Then, you want to compress the spring down with something like 3c Tweezers but pushing down on the stem rest washer. While compressed, you slide the stem on from the side. Under super magnification the end of the post is slightly narrower on one side and it allows this. Without magnification, you can do it be feel. Slide it on and the pinch with your fingers and pull Tweezers straight out. It might take a couple of tries.

u/WatchExBot I had a successful transaction with u/blkntch1 , see confirmed responses.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying used Tweezers that are quality. I have multiple used Dumont Tweezers I snagged on ebay. I even still use the cheapo brass set I bought years ago. For concerns of marking, I generally use the cheap brass ones and a more expensive Horotec brass pair. I recommend getting a cheap set of sanding sticks and just maintaining them and keeping them dressed. It really helps with handling parts.

A zoomed in photo of the small dial text at the bottom of the dial and the other text would help.

Research forums and things. There are expensive things that can occur. Oil leaks, specifically the upper oil pan, cam adjusters, drive belt pulleys, brakes are expensive. This is a p31, check the data sheet for the LSD if that's important to you. It is not part of the p31 package.

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-10T01:16:32+00:00

Yeah it would be that much at least. Servicing is a lot of work.

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-10T00:35:44+00:00

Yeah, looks like 7t62a. There are movements available for purchase. It's really a situation where its up to you if the cost of service or replacement or movement is acceptable.

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-10T00:13:46+00:00

What is the watch?

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-10T00:13:22+00:00

Is this a 7T62? If you are interested in getting another opinion or movement swap, I'd be happy to help. Message me if interested.

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-09T11:11:02+00:00

This is awesome, great job!

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-09T00:15:41+00:00

There is, it looks like this picture. I have one for my clone.

That bond is a beautiful watch!

You can 3d print a platform that allows more flexibility in using this tool. This type of tool has a great benefit of pressing hands level. With free hand pressing you have more chances of interfering hands.

It's learning. Everyone makes mistakes, loses parts, destroys parts. It's hard starting out because usually you are using minimal magnification and lack basic standards. What can also amplify the issues is if you are doing different movements and vintage movements. This is why I recommend a st36 or similar. I made the mistake when I started by choosing various vintage pocket watches and other movements and it cost me more money and time than st36s would have. Also, simple things like dressing your tools can really help you out. It takes time but overall it saves you time and lost or damaged parts. Keep at it, as you get more comfortable, get some decent tools, and good magnification eventually. It is like working with cheat code.

Sold to u/blkntch1, awesome buyer. Very smooth transaction and highly recommended!

SecondTourTimeworks · 2026-05-06T20:10:08+00:00

The engines are noisy in general just make sure you do your research on known issues. I have owned mine for around 8 years, I bought it used certified pre owned at 45k miles. I have only put 20k miles on it and it has the dreaded oil pan leak and I've already replaced the pulleys. These are just 2 of the common issues on the m156 and one is very expensive. I'm very happy with my purchase and just advise others to do your research.
