This isn't very difficult to fix if you need someone to walk you through it.

OP best hack that watch until you get it fixed.

You dont want that seconds hand getting wedged under the other hands !

How do I go about opening this? Legit have never tried any type of watch repair or tools to do so...?
Is there a thread on this?
Thanks guys

This is by far one of the most popular one: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/134084-How-to-vintage-your-Rolex-watch

When you put the hand back on, use a piece of tape so you can position it easier.

Here's an old video from Cwazy1 so you can see what I'm talking about RE: tape.

Duct tape, ball it up, sticky side out. Get a hand pusher or use a chop stick flattened tip and press on. Careful, not too much.. Not too little. Silicon grease it back up. Done.

Looks pretty doable I just have to find a way to open the watch as I have no tools

Having trouble getting the screws that hold the movement out, any suggestions?

Shouldn't be... It's not glued in is it?

I've been using a 1.0mm that could be too big?
And I don't think so

Also, when pushing the button to release the stem use a flat head. It's designed to prevent the keyless from going out. If not you'll push more than you want and can become a bit more cumbersome.

If you're having trouble with the screws try going smaller on the flathead. That seems to work for me.

I was able to get the stem out no problem, the screws are the only thing by coming out

I'm on my way to lowes to see if I can find a smaller flat head! Hopefully that works

The blade on his screwdriver might be too thick

Might need to file or sand it to fit , especially if hes using those generic style micro screwdrivers

 

[DoubleRawForce]

Got it out! Whoop! lol

Now the second hand... Do I put put it on the top or is there a specific way that it goes in?
