Diamond MM - keep or return?

[Steven Goldberg]

Well normally I would agree with you but knowing what he paid and the risks in general that the inner movement could be damaged, I wouldn’t keep it ...

True. But the Swiss movement for replacement isn’t that expensive. I guess it’s all dependent what he has into it.

He didn’t disclose it, only said no battery and when I inform him he seems surprised. But he also comms fairly friendly; domestic Japan purchase FYI

To service my watch is almost 600 quid!

I say - get it serviced

Up to you, but maybe he will pay for the repair of the screw, you can dispute it through eBay of course. Good luck bro

I have used these little guys to get stripped screws out of watch cases and small electronics in the past. If you can find some like this you ought to be able to get that screw out. While it might seem counterintuitive, sometimes if you can get a good bite on the screw in the clockwise direction, it will break the screw free and allow you to loosen it. I would start with something like these tools though and see if you can get that screw out. That screw doesn't look to be in too bad of shape. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JCT3W0/?tag=oakleyforum04-20

Thanks for the tip. I agree on some sunglasses frame, do the counter clockwise kind of help.

But man on this MM, I damaged two screw driver (1.5) and it didn’t move a bit. And since it is quite pricey, I am not gonna gamble more. If it were a normal MM I would try different more approaches.

Another option...
Use a tiny dab of WD40 or Breakfree on a Q-tip and let it work Itself into the threads and try removing the screw. I’ve done that many times as well with stubborn screws and was able to remove them. Just a thought.

I did put the grease oil a few hours before trying to remove but to no avail. Hands up.
Thanks though.
