Avalon Medana Gold-Tone Open Face Railroad Pocket Watch with Chain, # 4022 Questions & Answers
How do I open a medana pocket watch?
First -let's check out what type of watch you have. If you push the crown in and it turns freely back and forth with no resistance at all - this is battery driven watch.
If you do the same and feel and hear some clicking and resistance- this is mechanical (spring driven) watch.
Next - the case: Usually all pocket watches have snap-on casebacks. Take an eyeglass and examine the case. Even if you think there is no any grooves or gaps- try to pry it using watchmakers caseback opener (about $5 on ebay).
In case if there are no chance to open caseback - that means you have one of the cases assemblad watch glass fitted last and that means you have to take glass out first and then only to get to the movement.
As you will not be able to get the glass out without braking it, the only solution will be to visit your nearest watchmakers shop and ask for help.
Rate, please.
My mother has an avalon
mcdevito75 here, Without the watch in hand it"s difficult. Only thing I can figure is the watch is talking the PM time when it"s AM time displayed on the watch face, if so, re-set the time of day makeing sure time of day is either AM or PM.
I received a new Avalon
Thanks for contacting FixYa.
That is a very unfortunate situation. Are you sure there is no way to ask the giver for reciept as it may be under original warranty.
Check the manual to see if there is a contact # for Avalon. This is a off brand that I am not familiar with. I would try that first.
If no luck there, you will have to contact a local watchmaker. Small fee to do it, but unfortunate as it is new.
If you need a watchmaker, here is a good one:

Sector adv 1000 manual
ZERO-SETTING OF THE SECONDS-HAND & SUB-SECOND HAND ON THE SECTOR ADV1000 CHRONOGRAPH.
NOTE: The pusher buttons A, B & C are positioned on the watch at the 2 o'clock (A), 10 o'clock (B) & 8 o'clock positions (C), while the crown is at the 4 o'clock position.
1) Set the crown at the normal (in) position.
2) Push the B button twice.
3) Pull out the crown to the 2nd position (fully out).
a.) Seconds-hand setting: a push of button A moves the 2nd hand by 1 second. Move it until it is at the zero position.
b.) 2/100ths second hand: a push of button B moves the 2/100ths second hand by one 2/100ths second. A continuous push moves it quickly. Move it until it is at the zero position.
4) Push the crown back in to normal position.
QUICK-SET OF THE CALENDAR DATE
With the alarm switch off, pull out the crown halfway to the first "out" position (not fully out). Turn the crown clockwise to quick-set the date.
