How To Repair Your Timebomb

Great thread! @RonkPM I noticed picture 6 and 9 in the first post are exactly the same, I’m assuming the other picture is lost?

 

[RonkPM]

Thank you for pointing that out. I will see if I can get the right picture put back in there.

Hellz yeah brother. Got my "capacitor" changed. Thank you for the help! DAMN those screws are tiny! Lost one for the capacitor housing... took my wife and I 15 min to find on the tile floor, thank God it wasn't carpet!

 

[RonkPM]

Glad you were able to get that capacitor changed out. I honestly hate those tiny little screws!

Guys, I can't figure out how to remove the winding stem so I can take out the movement for sand blasting.
It does not look like the one pictured on this thread... anyone done this? (TB1 first gen)

Pictures with crown pushed in and pulled out

Check out the first picture in the second post. It looks the same to me.

I just finished replacing the capacitor on my stealth black time bomb. It was so dead the second hand wouldn't even move when on my wrist. Took me 30 minutes to complete and it work like new.

I just picked up a first gen TIMEBOMB and the capacitor was expired. Took it to my watch repair guy and he did the job for me for 60.00 cash ! Thought that was a good deal. Have no idea what it would cost me to buy just the capacitor these days ??? Anyone know what these cost ????
Thanks guys.....
