Help with Hublot F1

[lx5]

Guys i need help with my hublot f1! The start button seem to have been placed upside down. Anyone knows how to fix it? I opened up the casing and removed the movement. However i dont know exactly how to remove the button to switch it around.

Pictures would be a good idea. Good, in focus pictures.

here it is

the start button should be the same as the reset button.

:rofl:

how come you didn't catch that when the TD sent u the QC pictures?

I'm sure it's a easy fix, this is the 7750 version?

because the i just realised the TD didnt send a pic of this angle. coincidentally..or not. yes 7750. i open up the watch, took out the movement, but no idea how to remove it, there seem to be a springy feel, but i cant push it out the other side or something

I thought they just spun.
I'll move this to the Hublot section for you, more likely that someone in the know will answer.

i just removed the button, i think theres a very small gasket which was preventing it from coming out. I think it got damaged and now the button is out, just that its really lose and it can come out again. Anyone has any idea where i can purchase a very very extremely small gasket. way small than a crown gasket

:facepalm: Why didn't you wait?

Yes it will have a gasket but it will also have had a circlip or something as well which it sounds like has been lost. Watchbitz has the gaskets in a kit of stem and pusher orings.

The TD emailed me telling me i could turn it and it will be ok, so i turned it, and end up it came out. But theres nothing thats broken, i have a feeling it might be just the gasket preventing the whole button from dropping out, i may be wrong tho, i'll try take a picture of it tomorrow to show u guys. thanks for the help thus far!
