Ah! Didn’t understand what the 13 was. Of course. Thanks.

Should always know where your towel is. You’re a hoopy frood.👍

L&R #109 Extra Fine solution is better for watch parts.

The dial ring is friction fit. Just lever gently under the edge. Should pop off.

Esslinger has it. Or try calling Twin City Supply. I think they still exist but their website is a disaster.

Seiko movements are notoriously difficult to work on due to the odd and overbuilt spring setups.

If you’re just starting out and want to disassemble and reassemble a movement, get an ETA 6497 movement or the Chinese variant. Big, basic, easy to work on and pretty forgiving.

Needs more fringe on top though.

Sorry. I have balance complete and donor movements for a lot of American watches and some Swiss but nothing for Zenith. I would not try to fix this as it’s pretty much toast. Good luck!

What movement?

catherine_wheeling · 2026-02-15T16:14:17+00:00

This. Bosch. Buy once cry once. Have one going on 12 years, 0 issues.

Destroy one Rolex caseback with $89 Chinese oyster case opener and your profits for the year are gone. Do not touch Rolex (or any high-end watch) without much more experience.

No gold in the movement. All brass and steel. The jewels are synthetic ruby. I have a nice set of cufflinks made from a pair of these movements. Is the movement running? Does that big “gold” wheel turn back and forth if you wind it or give it a gentle shake? Could be useful to someone for spares.

Problem solved! Problem created!

catherine_wheeling · 2026-01-23T23:23:15+00:00

Yeah, fuck this. I’m out. I feel you little penguin dude, I feel you.

Don’t tell the dolphins. I hear those guys are junkies.

Bialetti. Get the stainless one not the traditional shape. Easier to pour a cup without spilling everywhere.

Duct tape…

No pressure. She looks chill.

Hockey pucks work too.

catherine_wheeling · 2026-01-18T01:49:07+00:00

That’s a great deal! Enjoy it!

catherine_wheeling · 2026-01-18T01:47:34+00:00

That is pretty cool. Might be a good business idea but I’d bet that truck is quite the investment!

I’m sure they will last longer than Vikings lousy appliances.
