Elgin grandfather clock chimes not working
I'm not positive about this, but I seem to recall that these type of clocks have two "silence levers" on the movement. These levers are located at the upper left and upper right corners of the movement as you face the movement from the back. The movement back panel has to be removed if it has one.
If the levers are pushed toward the chime rods, they will silence the hour or musical chime, depending on which one it is. I believe the silence levers are supposed to be moved away from the chime rods so the rods can retract and then strike the chime bars.
I need a setting guide
Hi,
The movement in this Elgin is made by Citizen. After you change the battery, you need to reset the hands so that the watch functions properly. Select chronograph function with lower-right button. Then pull-out the same button. Push the upper left button to select the UTC, hour, and minute hands. Then use lower-left and upper-right buttons to make sure everything is aligned to 12:00 position. After setting the hands to 12:00, push in lower right button. Now you can set the time by selecting the SET using the lower right button. Pull out the same button and choose your time zone to set.

My watch keeps losing time and sometimes, it
Its possible your watch is running but the hands arent moving. You should take it to a reputable watch repair shop instead of Walmart...they are sales people and havent been trained to repair watches. No its not THAT hard to change a battery, but if you dont know much about the movement then you can miss simple things that go wrong. Or something could get damaged during the battery change! A watch repair shop should have machines that can help diagnose the problem. Could be as simple as needing to be oiled!
Good luck!
How to set time on my Elgin PQS
- Setting an Elgin stem-set pocket watch. Pull the stem out of the crown at the 12 o'clock position of an Elgin stem-set pocket watch. Rotate the stem clockwise to move the hands to the correct hour and minute. Depress the stem and wind the crown to keep the watch running.
How to set an elgin chronograph digital/analog watch
Do you have a model number for this watch? That would help find more information on it.
Try this. Don't worry you can't damage the watch by messing with the buttons.
Press and hold "Mode" for 3 seconds. One of the digital displays should start to blink. Now press the "Start/Stop" button once. It should do 1 of 2 things. Move the 'blink' to the next number or change the number on that display. If the "Start/Stop" button does one of these the "Reset" button should do the other. Pressing "Mode" again should turn off the blink and go back to the normal display.
Can you hand-wind a Lord Elgin 760 to start it?
Most automatic watches can be hand wound. The simplest answer is to wear it for a couple of days despite it not running. The everyday motion of your wrist should wind the watch as the mechanism was designed to do. Another method is to grip the watch with the face against the palm of your hand and twist your grip like your turning a door handle. Do this quickly for 30 seconds to a minute and it should give you enough to start the watch.
If this doesn't work another solution to try is to push the Crown, (the button you use to correct the time), all the way IN and turn it Clockwise 30 full rotations. This should give you enough to get it going.
Your last option is to invest in a "Watch Winder". This is basically a 'Posh' watch box that constantly rotates the watch when your not wearing it to maintain the winding load. Some of these can be reasonably cheap to buy but it is worth buying a decent quality one.

Is the elgin fg9919 water proof / resistant and if so to what depth?
I don't know and it hardly matters as firstly such descriptions only apply to new watches and secondly, if it has ever had the case opened it should be considered not waterproof unless it has been fitted with new seals and pressure tested, something few repairers have the equipment for...
