SOURCE: Removing crown and reattaching arms

I dont think you have to remove the crown to get to the arms. If you observe cleanly you will notice that the arms are held in place by a latch on the side. That is what you have to remove to replace the arms. Good Luck!

SOURCE: Fake or not

Generally you have to open the watch to see the movement but a lot of fakes are plain workmanship flaws.
A real Cartier will not be made from base metal. It will be made from stainless steel or precious metal.
A real Cartier will most likely be built with screws in the band instead of cotter pins.
When you pull the crown to set there will be no play in the set lever. In other words when you spin it, it will begin to turn the hand immediately and there will be a slight resistance. It will not feel loose.
As stated, the best way to tell is to look at the movement. Cartier uses a high grade Swiss movement most likely marked ETA.

As long as it's not a strap exclusive to your watch, you should be able to take it to any jeweler who sells watches or a watch selling kiosk in a mall. I wouldn't take it to a store like Wal-Mart, just because they have no requirements for their employee's to know a crown from a clasp, for them to work in the jewelry area.

SOURCE: I want to remove my

you will need to open the watch back and look at the movement near the where the stem enters the movement (you need to be very cautious doing this ) near the the stem you should see an arrow pointing to small hole you will need to use a pin or a need to place inside and push down. In the meantime you will have to pull out the watch crown and stem slowly . Sometimes the holes are not marked but are placed very close to where the the stem enters the movement.

When you are done press the same release tab ( the hole) and slide the crown all the way.

Setting the day on an Orvis Quartz chronograph watch

Check out the videos and articles. With my Seiko, you pull the crown to the first position and pushing the side buttons closest to the dial, advances with each press.

Pulsar Quartz serial # 390385

Serial number are no use at all. It is just a record for that individual watch. It was the 385th watch made in March 1990.

Look on eBay for prices realized on sold items.

Should i pull the crown to save battery if i store my quartz watch for a few months

I don't think storing a watch with the crown out accomplishes much. That I am aware of, pulling the crown out does not break the electrical connection between the battery and the watch. At least in looking at quartz movements, I don't see any electrical apparatus that insulates the crown in any way so that it could act as a switch. I think that in quartz watches that hack, pulling the crown out mechanically disengages or interferes with the drive train, but it doesn't stop the oscillator or stepper motor from running.
With quartz movements, at least those I have seen the internals of, (most ETA and ISA designs, some Rondas, a few Seikos), pulling the crown to the setting position does one of two things:
1) On better, jeweled movements - it breaks contact between the coil and battery, thus stopping the motor. The oscilator continues to be powered, but most of the current consumption is from the motor. These pulling the crown out does save battery life. Or,

2) On cheaper non-jeweled movements - it blocks the rotation of the second hand gear, and stalls the motor. These are observable by a "twitchy" second hand when the stem is out. This method actually kills the battery faster, as a stalled electric motor draws more current.

I have a watch that has the marking rolex quartz and on the back its engraved GENEVE 59312 and the Rolex Crown i have seen many people saying that this is fake because this number doesnt exist. Many...

Thanks for contacting FixYa.
  • Take a look at the second hand. Is it ticking or is it sweeping? If it's ticking, that's your fake. A Rolex second hand sweeps around in one continuous motion. But beware, as of 2005, the good fakes have caught up to this technology.
  • Look for the small engraved crown at the 6 o'clock mark on the crystal. Most fakes will have some sort of large, obvious version of a crown, but this mark on a real Rolex is almost impossible to spot with the naked eye.
  • Look for the word "Rolex" and the watch's serial number engraved at 6 o'clock under the crystal on the area between the crystal and the dial. While many fake Rolex watches post-2005 have this feature, they're usually printed, not engraved.
  • Most new Rolex models have an added model number engraved at the end of the watch end-link. This engraving includes the band model and two tiny Rolex crowns. Your good fakes will have something similar, but not all three indicators.
  • If you're being sold an authentic Rolex (in good condition and in perfect working order) for anything less than $500, become suspicious. If it's in nice shape, it doesn't really lose a lot of appreciation, and in some cases, it increases in value.

  • Best regards. Jewel

    How do I find my serial number on my bulova watch

    Serial numbers are generally on the back of the watch.

    You may be able to find two or three numbers on the watch.

    A case number, a movement number and a serial number.Alternatively you might find a style number (which in your case is 26B44) and a serial number.

    2003 deer pocket watch Al Agnew is it wind up or Battery

    Often with battery powered watches the word "Quartz" will be written on the dial. In the abscent of that you can look at the mechanism inside (typically by removing the case back).

    Alternately (this may not be an absolute confirmation) with the winder in neutral position i.e. pressed all the way in, turn the crown (winding button) and if it spins freely it's probably quartz. Because unless it's broken most mechanical watches click as the watch is
    wound up (except some automatics which cant be crown wound).

    Plus if it's working and left unworn for a few days yet continues to run it's probably quartz.

    I dont know how to set time

    Some 70s quartz watches used quite a different system where you push the crown in, hold for a while (perhaps 5-10 sec) then release it and push and hold it back in again immediately. At this point, the ends should set off advancing at many time their normal rate so you can alter the time.
    Complex, I know.

    How do I change the date on a Colibri Pocket Watch?

    Usually all quartz watches are supplied with calendar setting mechanism and it is very simple-
    try to pull out crown and you will notice that there are two clicks,so, when the crown is pulled out to the first click, the date can be adjusted by the turn of the crown. When crown is pulled further out (second click)- the watch is in hand setting position and you can adjust time.
