@gringosteve - the crown comes out like most other movements. With the crown all the way in - find the little button to push in with a toothpick or equivalent - which that depressed, pull the crown and it should come all the way out. I'm pretty sure this is the little point you want to press in - with just enough force to unblock the stem - allowing you to remove it.

 

I just had a look here:

Ricoh World Timer Sports Mens Watch Complete Kit,Blue Dial | eBay Australia

Bracelet: Ricoh genuine stainless steel (22mm). Dial: Original dial. Year of manufacture: 1970s.

www.ebay.com.au

I was hoping to find the correct Ricoh bracelet and a bezel for mine, but like you say - gold dust...

 

I found this place selling the “new” watches but also different bands that may be the one you are looking for. No inner bezel.. but I’m hunting still

Mine arrived from eBay today. The watch head is decent. Still had the thin plastic protector on the outer bezel like someone mentioned here. I am pretty sure it’s an Old ricoh movement and NOS dial with aftermarket body and bezel. Not sure if the bracelet is NOS or copy.. but it feels cheap and nasty. Took that off straight away. Will be going on a nice NATO tomorrow and see if I like it.

 

Quick question, is there a way to quick set the day of the week. I can use the button to change the date but to change the day have to use the main crown to go through the full
24 hours.

 

i have ditched the crap bracelet and fit a single pass nato. Keeping good time. I opened up the back and the movement looks older than the case and dial.. supporting theory that this is a fresh batch of case and an original movement.

now to work out who is making the cases etc

 

The watch is running slightly slow.. like a minute per day. Which bit of the regulator do I move? Looking at the movement it appears to be set slow but not sure which bit to gently push on to move it back
