Hi again all!

as you know, I have an Oris Speedmaster rep, it has a tachymeter ring on the "Rehaut" of the watch, and it tends to spin off from where it is supposed to be. The ring has 4 small feet, and the dial has 4 holes where the feet go to keep the ring in perfect place, but I don't know why, it keeps moving around slowly. Being a nitpick, yeah, but when you see the gen pics of it, the 60 starts exactly at 12 o clock, and mine keeps moving. I really don't like opening the watch up, and risking to damage the keyless on it.

Any recommendations on adhesives that won't damage the dial (like Crazy Glue)?

I would suggest GS hypo cement. Used by jewelers and pro watchsmithes. If you ever did need to remove it for any reason you could. It is also easy to control when applying due to the syringe needle type applicator tip. Permanent glue should only be used as a last resort.

Thank you Rick!

Any place to get some online?

Available on Ebay GS Hypo cement. Just make sure you get the type for smooth surfaces NOT the one for fabric. I made that mistake ONCE!

When the tachy on my watch goes out of alignment I use the heat from my angry burning look to fuse it back in place.
