My newly acquired sports diver has been keeping time but has a few issues.
The rotating bezel works but it's fairly stiff and needs a bit of a clean.
The hands could be relumed or replaced and...
a big small problem today I was trying to set the day and date and the crown and stem has pushed in, I heard a clunk and I can no longer change the day or date.
The crown is sitting flush against the case and has no 'spring' in it like before.
I may have a donor movement and replacing dials and hands don't worry me.
It's the rotating bezel and date setup.
Is this a recipe for disaster? I see many 6106-7107 floating around with a fixed inner bezel. I do not want to ruin this feature.
Also the date changing mechanism, is this a likely broken part or a mis-alignment issue.
Thanks in advance.
