Michele CSX Diamond watch Questions & Answers
MICHELE CSX HAND ALIGNMENT
You don't say if your "CSX" is a battery powered watch or a mechanical or windup type watch. The solution for a mechanical watch is take it to a watchmaker. If it is a battery powered watch you may be able to do it yourself. Not all work the same way so without knowing what a "CSX" is I will give you one way to try. Pull the crown out two clicksHold the lower button in until a hand moves.You have now selected that hand to adjustUsing the upper button now, press and adjust the hand until it lines up with 12Now hold the lower button againAnother hand should moveUse the upper button to adjust this hand to the 12 positioncontinue this until all the hands line up with 12Press the crown in and press the upper button,the chronograph hands should startPress the upper button again and they should startPress the lower button and they should all go to the 12 o'clock position
I need to buy 2
yes you can. but you need a particular tool to do it though. you can maybe do it with some household items depending on the brand of watch.
How do you remove links
For removing or adding links firstly you will have to remove bracelet pins or screws. In case if there are screw on each side of bracelet - you have to use two screwdrivers simultaneously. In case if there are pins - read the rest:
You may or may not have arrows inside bracelet. Arrows are pointing the way the pins must come out. First you have to find out what sort of pins or even screws are used to keep links together (screw ends and pin end may look similar). Examine both bracelet sides and find the side where pin ends have a groove. Start with a tiny screwdriver and try to unscrew one. If it turns, but doesn't come out, that means you have a pins instead of screws. For removing pins the best would be pin removing tool (approx.5GBP on ebay), but it's possible to do the job without it. Take a hardened steel needle and blunt the sharp end to the approx. size of pin end diameter using any sharpening stone or sandpaper. Get an old towel and fold it to make a soft base for work (like small cusion). As you don't have a special bracelet holder you will need a pair of helping hands to hold the bracelet steady upright. You will need small hammer and pair of flat nose pliers as well. NOTE: The pins MUST be driven split end out first, not vice versa. Make sure that the grooved pin ends are facing towel, not the needle and hammer. Now place the watch on the folded towel, take that needle and smallest hammer you have and start driving the pin out using light blows. Do Not hit hard, as you will brake the needle, scratch your watch or even injure yourself. Watchmakers are using 45 gram hammer, so, calculate your strength of blows. After a few punches check if the split end is coming out and when you see that the pin end is coming out long enough - grab it with pliers and pull the pin out with pliers. When pulling, do NOT turn pliers, as pins tend to brake when twisted. Use firm grip and your strength to pull the pin without twisting. After shortening the bracelet or adding extra link(s) make sure that the pins go back EXACTLY the same way as they came out- the blunt end first in the hole and the split (grooved) end last. Before doing that check remaining pins in bracelet to make sure that you put them back from the right side of bracelet. It is recommended to use plastic hammer to drive pins back in or you will scratch or damage bracelet. If plastic hammer is not available use an old toothbrush handle (or some plastic item) as an absorber. Simply put pin into the hole as deep as you can with your fingers, put the toothbrush handle on split pin end and hit handle, not the pin. Make sure that pin ends are flush with bracelet. If needed- hit few more times. Job done! If you do not want to do it yourself, any jeweler will do it in a matter of few minutes
The red bead (?) on the stem of my Michele CSX
I also chipped the enamel on the crown. You should take it to the place you purchased it and they will send it to Michele (actually Fossil) for repair. I had my Michele for 5 years before sending it in to have the crown repaired and have since lost the stem. Prior to that first repair, I did not have any issues with my watch. I really think that the parts used on my watch for the first repair were shotty. Very disappointing, but what do you do?

HOW DO I CHANGE THE
Turn the dial toward you and pull out. Then turn the dial away from you to change the date (you can only go upward in date).
Can i remove links from
Any watch repair shop will usually do it for free or under 5 dollars. You can do it yourself with care and very small set of screwdrivers which are probably about 10 to 20 dollars at any department store. I recommend a shop, and they can usually do that for you in less than 10 minutes
Had the battery replaced in
Loose cannon pinion or cannon driving wheel; the seconds hand represents the wheels in the back of the watch going around ok, but the power need to transfer through to the front of the watch somehow.
This is done by snapping/clicking two wheels together on either side of the main plate. The one on the dial side (cannon pinion) needs to slip to be able to set the time as the minute hand is set on this pinion. Im sorry, its time to see a repair guy.
Hope helps.
It has been a while since I have worn my watch. I
mcdevito75 here, If your watch is a quartz watch, have the battery changed, if your watch is a windup watch that hasn"t started due to you not wearing it in a while, you can try to KICK START it in a way. Take the watch off and as if to set the time of day, pull the stem out and move the hads back and forth, say from 3 to 9 then back again, sometimes this motion of the hands moveing and the stem being pulled in and out can KICK START a windup watch. If this does not help, see the repair service here at fixya, bottom of the page click on repair service directory then watches. I am Mike D I am in the directory and can help out if needed.
I just bought my wife a michele csx-36 watch. Its brand
that happened to me too...the watch repair man told me that I had the stop watch on. The stop watch should serve as a stop watch, not the second hand. The second time on your watch is the small dial at the bottom middle of the face. Once I turned off the stop watch feature, my battery life is fine...I have not had to change my battery in over 2 years now. HOpe this helps.

Type of battery in Michele deco diamond watch?
395/399 Duracell on Ebay.
I gave up trying to change the battery last time and had a store do it. This time I was determined to do it myself like I do for the dozen or so watches that we have. The Michelle Deco is a bear, as once you take the back off it has a battery restraining bracket that requires a VERY SMALL screw driver and a lot of patience when it is time to re-assemble it. If you are up to trying it yourself you better have great eyesight, steady hands and the right screw drivers (a magnetic one helps get that tiny battery retaining screw back in). It took me almost an hour but I did it. Good luck to you.
