I noticed that the dial was slightly misaligned, so I opened the watch up to realign the dial (done this many times on watches). Well to my horror, when I opened it, there was one of the retaining tabs and a sheared off screw head flying around loosely in the case. I suppose that when the watch stopped yesterday, it was as a result of the screw head getting into the works, and then working free when I shook the watch.
So, I am now waiting to hear beck from the seller about a resolution. The problem will be removing the broken screw from the movement. If that can be accomplished, then a new screw will fix it.
Any hints on how to safely remove the screw stump from the hole in the movement?
