Buyer beware "Watch Deals"!

[okierider]

So a while back I bought this knowing the dial had issues and would need new hands, but the seller assured me it "is cleaned and running well.... Got the seals and hands together and started the take down today and low and behold the dial was glued to the movement ring.....
Time to look at the assembly instructions if I can find them and see what is what. I generally just video (nothing like what Adam does) the take down so I can look at it when I get lost. Oh well time to learn some stuffs!

I think I saw that one. Was going to buy just for the movement.

After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the scream and the sound of a big war bird
Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside

Chorus:
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany

In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down--"Curses, foiled again!"

Chorus

Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight

That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight

I saw that one too. We almost unknowingly had an OSA bidding war on it! Haha!

@okierider, if you'll send me the 8 digit code on the back of the case (xxxx-xxxx), I'll look up the casing guide and get you some disassembly instructions.

Or you can download the casing guide here:



Ironically one of my YouTube subscribers contacted me tonight asking me about a 'casing guide' I referenced in my Rally Dial rebuild video. I uploaded the document to Google drive and shared it with him not more than an hour ago. This covers most models from the mid 80's and earlier.. Depending on what your watch is, it may or may not be in this document, but I'm betting it probably is.

Let me know if I can help.

The dial was what Got me. Knew it had issues but Snoopy on his Sopwith Camel is just cool whatever the issues.

7S26-02N0. At this point I am not even sure it is in the right case ....

 

[thor447]

It's not

7S26-02N0. At this point I am not even sure it is in the right case ....

It's not original to that case. That dial is marked as a 7006 or 7009. The casing guide I uploaded earlier is going to be a bit too old for that 02N0. I'll be happy to take a look at it if you end up needing another set of eyes. Just let me know.
