I've tried all I can to get a Helbros electronic vintage watch to work. I am capable of separating the case but short of that anything I can do? When inside what to look for? Sincerely, Mark

I got this Lucien Piccard gold watch in a vintage shop with no model/serial number anywhere. Can someone identify if it's real LP or a replica?

Open back of helbros pocket watch

Sometimes the caseback can be screwed off with your hands by just pressing on your 4 fingers to twist the back off.... Or you can pop the case back off using a small knife on the edge of it. If you look carefully you might find a lip (or gap) where you can slide the tool in to pop it off.

I want to know the value of my ornet antimagnetic pocket watch i think its from hong kong and this watch is old the case of this watch have a man fishing somewere in the river with lots of the treeson his...

It's rarely possible to give any kind of definitive valuation without seeing a watch (pocket or wrist) in person, but it sounds like you have an inexpensive pocket watch that was probably made in the 1960s, less likely made in the 1970s or 1950s. The use of the term "antimagnetic" on the watch, as opposed to "17 jewels," suggests that the watch is powered by a 1-3 jewel pin lever movement, rather than a more expensive movement. These movements can keep quite good time, but they are not valued by watch collectors unless the rest of the watch is of compelling interest.

In terms of value, your pocket watch has more value as a piece of jewelry than as a vintage timepiece. Most watch collectors would not be particularly interested in your watch. In the United States, I've seen similar watches, in running condition, sell for $5-10 at vintage watch fairs. Around where I live (the Northeast), as a piece of jewelry, your watch may be worth twice that but not more. I cannot speak to pricing in other parts of the country or internationally.

Im in need of two links for the slimline watch braclet

Thank you for contacting FixYa.
You can usually get extra links from JJ/Helbros but for some reason I can not get their website. I would look for a phone # in the manual and call them. They will want the #'s on back of watch.
Best regards. Jewel

Have a casio watch with analogue and digital time.  can change analogue time but not digital time

Digital time must be set using pushbuttons on watch case sides. One of them is for MODE, another for SETTINGS.
Mode button usually must be held pushed in for a while to start to work and the digits should start to flash - only then you can start to reset your digital watch using another (settings) button.
Use small steal pin to push these buttons.
If nothing happens, you will have to consult your nearest watch repairer as in this case there is a mechanical or electronical fault.
Rating is very appreciated.

Helbros Invincible c.1970 wristwatch hairspring

Take a closer look at the movement, especially under the balance wheel (use an eyeglass). There should be movement code. By that you can find the real movement manufacturer and the hairspring or balance complete will be easier to trace.
