I suggest that you take it to a watch shop. Removing the glass is not a good idea, as the seal will be effected. Watches are made to be accessible from the back but special tools may be required.

All in all, it is safer to leave it to those who have all the special tools and experience.

My dango watch second hand stops some time

If your Dango watch's second hand stops intermittently, there are a few things that could be causing the issue. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

1. Low Battery: If the battery in your watch is running low, it could cause the second hand to stop. You may need to replace the battery in your watch. Check your watch's manual or take it to a watch repair shop to have the battery replaced.
2. Dirt or Debris: Dirt or debris can get inside your watch and cause the gears to stop moving properly. If this is the case, you may need to have your watch cleaned and serviced by a professional watch repair person.
3. Loose Second Hand: If the second hand on your watch is loose, it could cause it to stop intermittently. A loose second hand can be caused by a damaged pinion or cannon pinion. You may need to take your watch to a professional watch repair person to have it fixed.
4. Magnetic Interference: Magnetic fields can interfere with the movement of the gears inside a watch, causing it to stop or run erratically. If you have been around strong magnets or electronic devices, it could be causing the issue. Try moving your watch away from these devices to see if that helps.
5. Mechanical Issue: There may be a mechanical issue with your watch's movement that is causing the second hand to stop. This can be caused by a worn out gear or other component. You may need to take your watch to a professional watch repair person to have it fixed.

How do I remove the crystal of this watch?

Hi Niko, the face of the watch is usually accessed from the back by removing the back cover, mechanism and the winders. I would recommend taking it to a watchsmith who will hopefully replace your second hand at a reasonable price.

If you want to try it yourself, there is a risk you may be un-"watchable" ;) How to reset watch hands

How do I open the face of a PHOLM watch?

take the watch to a qualified watch repair person, if it is of value to you. you do not have the proper tools or knowledge base if you are asking here.

if you try to open the back, the tool you use will slip and cut your fingers or hand. it may seem like a simple job, but you don't know how intricate and tiny the screws are that hold the watch together.

Broken Armani sign

Yes it can be fixed but may need a jeweller. You cannot take the glass face out on it own, you have to remove the watch back plate and then pull out the watch mechanism. (Once the back plate is off removing the mechanism is not difficult) You then have access to both the inside glass face and the watch face. If you can do this you will need to glue the Armani logo with something like super glue, but not applied directly to watch, too risky. If you have tweezers hold the Armani logo in them. Use a pin and dip it into a small blob of super glue, apply the pin to the back of the logo and then place it on the watch face as quickly as possible and align. Once aligned apply a little pressure with the tweezers on the logo to help adhere, about 5 seconds, leave to dry and then put watch back together. If this all seems to difficult a jeweller can do it in about ten minutes.

Minute hand on Braun AB1A has curved up stopping second hand

The whole front square face of the clock has 4 little nails which are located in the middle of each side (inside and next to the edge of the joint), so you have to carefully insert a screwdriver and lever the front out. After this you have to remove the hands (remember to set the clock and alarm hand to 12:00 before taking those away). The face will be loose, and you'll have access to the mechanism. Clean the alarm contact (look for a double silver metal arm that touches an small bronze stick. Alarm button can be release by gently lever the little nail that shows in the center when button is up at clock's backside.

Somehow i think i chipped the face of my watch, and small chips on the inside are stopping my hands from moving. how do i get the face off?

mcdevito75 here, To get to the face of your watch is a job, you"d need a few jewelers tools and would have to be a bit handy with watches as there is a certain way to move your hands around the watches movement a wrong move of your hands in the watches movement can destroy it. First you"d have to remove the watches back cover, then you"d have to remove the stem (winder) and there"s a certain method to that with requires jewelers screwdrivers, then you"d have to lift the movement out of the case and if these chips loosed the hands you"d need another tool to re-seat them. BEST BET, Check with the repair service directory here at fixya, click on repair service directory bottom of this page, then click on watches, I am Mike D at RITE TIME BASICS and may be able to help or check with any fine watch repaire in the directory.

A metal jewel fell off of the watch face and is loose on the dial

I suggest you take it to a watch shop and ask them to repair it for you.

It can be more difficult than it appears to remove and replace backs particularly.

How do you take the face of the watch off? the second hand fell off and I would like to fix it

This is called watch crystal or watch glass, not face. Do not even try to get it out, as this is not possible from the outside of watch. Nobody takes off watch crystal for refitting hands. For this you have to open your watch case, get the whole movement out and only then refit the hand. If you are not sure how to do that, better go and see watchmaker, or you may damage your watch and then repairs will cost much more than the cost for hand refitting. Rate me, plz.
