take out movement, see if crown screws in without movement in place. could be a number of things
1) stem length too long, either because it was never right, or because its come unscrewed a bit
2) crossthread or otherwise obscured crown threading, clean, check for cross threading, or obstruction or gasket getting in way. the little spring activated jobby on the crown could be jammed or otherwise damaged, trim and size stem if needed
3) keyless all donked up. fix or replace movement.
lots of other things, but i'd start with just trying crown without movement in place and go from there.

Thanks. I appreciate the info. Any idea what kind of movement you think this is? It’s a rep of a friends that’s dead and I’m just trying to see if I want to really get into this end of reps. I think it’s going to be a brand new rabbit hole for me to fall down. LOL

Hello everyone,
I'm in need of some help from someone located in or near Pfortheim, Germany. I've found a device that I'd like to purchase from an online auction site, but unfortunately, I'm not able to pick it up myself as I'm located outside of Germany. Here's the link to the item: [Waterproof Watch Tester - Greiner Vibrograf Poseidon LT-100](https://www.aurena.at/posten/2315517/Uhren_0Wasserdichtheitsprufer_0Greiner_0Vibrograf_0Poseidon_0LT-100).
If you're in the area and would be willing to pick up the item and ship it to me, I'd be happy to compensate you for your time and effort with a small fee.
Please let me know if you’re interested and we can discuss the details further. Thanks so much in advance!
Cheers,
Samyness

You do know that you will pay almost 40% in taxes and fees on top of your bid, right?
I'm just asking, as you write in English and their T&A are only in German.

Hey all, curious if there are any negatives to servicing a rep at a jeweler? I’m about to buy a rep Daytona and want to know what the negatives are to jeweler serving. I’m new to the whole rep game so any advice is appreciated!

negatives? well.. cost vs indy guy.. ..may be same, but a consideration. in general, many jewelers not familiar with shitty/cheap cn movements will push towards full teardown/clean vs an option of just replacing movement.
but of course, a good one might know? so nothing wrong in that case.
assuming 'jeweler' isnt 'rolex certifiied whatever place' and then youd just be nuts to go with gen place to service a rep?

Price to cost ratio, I would expect the watch to last long enough to pay for itself then by that time there will be better reps out save the money for new one.

My told me that it’s not a bad idea to get a watch winder and have them working for a least the first 3 months unless you where it daily it helps bed the movement in with the lubes there use. My explorer I wear Daily and it’s still fine keeping perfect time my other three Rolexes are in the watch Winder as they only come out in special occasions had them ranging from 6 to 3 months I’ll keep in perfect time.

Your Daytona can be serviced. It should last 3 - 5 yrs depending on who’s servicing it and what movement you have. Expect to pay anywhere from $350 - $500 depending on who does the service (assuming it’s an independent watchmaker). If you find a jeweler like you mention, then it might be more and only if they work on reps.

Ultrasonic, mask the centre with kapton tape, gently brush the whole bracelet across a scouring pad one link at a time, then mask off the sides and then give the centre a good polish with some compound and a Dremel tool, or by hand. Then in the ultrasonic for a final wash and dry.
Hope this helps.

For each and every one of its parts, different bezel, different lugs case, different dial, finish in general. Everything is different from CF.
It’s not BP either, the dial indices in BP are narrower and the case is different from this one. The bezel could be from the same manufacturer that provides BP, but the watch in general is not BP.

I've got this bracelet and the clasp ain't securing. The "tooth" that grips on is kinda angled higher up, so it can't properly secure and click. Can you tell me how to move it slightly down so it secures properly? Replacing it isn't an option, not willing to waiting 15-20days. I tried pushing it down with pliers but it didn't work. Can I somehow remove the tooth and put it back in its correct position?

have you tried slightly bending the lower clasp bar to increase the distance from the clasp tooth? here is a video of a different type of clasp but the theory is the same. i use the edge of a wooden desk and push down on the ends. do not try to do it all at once. small, easy adjustments.

IMHO if you're already building seikomods just dive into building Frankens yourself because unless you're going to one of the trusted watchmakers on the sub list you're probably just going to pay someone with the same if not even less skills/attention to detail as you have to build your watch for you, ultimately bound to get something fucked up/etc because they're not going to care as much as you are about your own individual investments in parts as you will. . . If you're building on a clone movement, with a case that accepts said movement and gen spec crystal/bezel mounting, and gen spec crown tube threads (as most all do even cheap 50$ raffles cases), it all goes together as if it was made to without any real modifications needed or etc, this rings true for both modded factory watches and fresh builds like Raffles/etc, my experience with both was rather straight forward and very similar.

If it is a screw down crown, they all have some play to allow for the seating on the threads. It is not an issue of where the crown screws onto the stem but rather where the crown hat sits on its own post.
