Luminox Seal - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Hi, I've looked at the image you posted, and I think it's a Ronda 515 movement or something very close. If that's the case, do the following. Push the crown fully back to it's normal running position. If it's a screw-down crown then ensure it's unscrewed. Using the tip of a fine pair of tweezers (or similar - perhaps a needle) press lightly on the small depression that you can see in your photo (on the main metal plate of the movement, to the right, just below where the stem enters the mechanism). While pressing on that, gently pull on the crown. If it doesn't release, press a little harder on the depression but please be moderate with the force you use - if you press too hard you may damage the mechanism. If you take enough care, you should be able to remove the crown and stem. To replace it, make sure the movement is correctly aligned in the case and gently press in the stem. If you feel any resistance, then rotate the crown slightly and try again. Again, if you try and force it, you may damage the movement. It is usually not necessary to place any pressure on the depression to reinsert the stem, but if all else fails it won't do any harm. Please let me know how you get on.

If new, just take back and exchange it for another working one.

The hand in question is slipping on the spindle that it is attached to. You need to carefully but firmly push it back down on the spindle so it moves. Have to get access to the dial and needles to do this

It should be SOLID TITANIUM Screw down case back.

Try looking at the available manuals listed here:

I don't see one specific to your model; however the manual for Standard / All Models might provide sufficient direction.

If this is not helpful try contacting Luminox directly for assitance as per the following:

mcdevito75 here, BEST BET for your Navy Seal watch, look for a small watch repair shop in your area for this part.

mcdevito75 here, I hope you have a warantee with the watch, even if you don"t contact Luminox watch with this problem, Hold onto that broken piece off the watch. Problem is the case is 1 solid piece, the watch company will want to see the broken case and piece offf the watch, hopefully they might figire a defect in the case cause the piece to break off and replace the case for you for FREE, I doubt it BUT, you never know.

Hi,

It sounds like the setting mechanism has gotten out of place or is bent. A qualified watchmaker can fix this for you.

Hope this helps,

I have not been able to find any instructions on their web site, so the only thing I can suggest is that you go to their web site and click on "find a retailer" and speak to them and ask them how to do it.

The model 3001 does not have a screw down crown, but is just as water resistant as a screw down style

you can try ebay for a used one for parts only. luminoxparts.com may have one if you email them. i may have one available, i will know in a couple of days. waiting on a replacement battery for mine. if the quartz movement is bad, than i will be willing to sell it for parts.

No you don't have to wind this watch..it is a quartz movement powered by a battery...the only thing the crown is used for is resetting the time and date, you are probably thinking of a mechanical watch which is powered by a mainspring...:)

pull the crown out and use the top and bottom buttons to zero out. when pull the crown out each position set a differnt dial

the 3200 model was one of the sturdiest models Luminox has ever made...the crown is not too expensive to replace and unless the threads on the case tube are bad or there is water damage it would be worth repairing IMHO

to zero out the second hand pull the stem out to either the first or second position and then use the top and bottom butttons to zero it out. please rate my solution

Try parsecent.com, you can get a replacement bezel there...

and you are right, you are basically buying a new watch as this model is made of plastic and cannot be 'polished'. Refurbishing it means that it will look new and everything on the outside would have to be replaced...good luck :)

On some watches - scuba usually - the crown has a rubber seal and that seal is engaged when the crown is screwed to the case. If your watch is like this, you need to unscrew the crown before you can pull out the stem. Twist the crown in a counterclockwise direction several turns. You will be able to tell when it is completely unscrewed because youwill feel spring tension. Pull out the stem to set the watch. When you finish, push the stem back in. Push against the spring tension and carefully thread the crown back onto the case. That should do it.
