You would be better off taking it to a reputable watch repairer or alternatively take some good clear photo's of all relevant markings and post them off to a site/program such as "Antiques Roadshow" they have very knowledgable and reputable people on hand and may get you the answers you seek for the cost of a stamped envelope.

It is just pried off carefully with a thin pocket knife, or using the tool that pops it off. I would let a jeweler do it if I were you. You can buy a tool to remove the watch back on eBay.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not set the date or time between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. to avoid damage to your Geneva watch. The gears sit too close together during these times.
• If your Geneva watch becomes wet, wipe it dry as soon as possible. Keep your watch away from saunas and hot tubs, as the extreme heat diminishes the watch's water resistance.

keep pushing buttons till something changes.Usually you hold a button down for 3 secs then things start flashing,then you forward it to the time section

There is probably a screw that is lose on the watch. Someone will need to pop open the caseback and make sure the screws are in place. If you or someone can't figure it out I suggest taking it to a watch repair person, do not go to a high end place they will charge more then what the watch is worth. Go to watch repair shop , and if they charge more then $10.00 then it's better just to buy a new watch on ebay.

keep shopping, there are alot of scammers out there. BTW, $20/gram is about $620 an ounce. Are you sure your watch is 24k and not 14k? 24k is so soft a watch wouldn't last very long.

Find Geneva, if you can.I can't seem to.

Take a small hammer and a plastic push pin. Look at the pins in your watch. One side will have a line going through the tip of the pin, and the other side may also have that, but it will be less pronounced. Set your watch on a soft surface (couch cushion or cork board, for example) and place the pushpin onto the pin you want to remove. Tap with a hammer until a few millimeters are sticking out on the other side. Take a pair of needlenose pliers and remove the pin. To put a pin back in the band, push it back in until you cannot push anymore, then use your needlenose pliers to push the pin in the rest of the way. Good luck!

If it is really unsolicited, and you are having this trouble, then by law, it's yours. Consider it a FREE gift! Enjoy your watch.

Oh dont you LOVE Betsey Johnson??? She has the cutest things!!!
Im sorry, but I am not familiar with each of her watches and fashion watches are all so different. Alot of fashion watches the links can NOT be removed.
My best advice is to take back to store for advice, or take to a QUALIFIED jeweler to have them look at it to see their opinion whether links can be removed.
Most stores if they can do it charge minimal for the work done.
Best regards!

Take an eyeglass and carefully examine watch case back all the way around. You will find tiny groove or ''lip''. This is exact place where to insert blade and pry up. Rate me, plz.

I Have a Geneva Made Pga Tour Partners Club watch that needs a new band and I have not been able to find one.It is a special band and the PGA partners club says they are no longer available and were not helpful in finding a band.

Accutime watches, like many other brands, offer a range of models with different levels of water resistance. However, whether a specific Accutime watch is waterproof depends on its design and specifications. It's essential to check the user manual or the manufacturer's website for your particular Accutime watch model to determine its water resistance rating. Watches typically have a water resistance rating measured in meters (or ATM), indicating the depth to which they can withstand water pressure without leaking. Here are some general guidelines regarding water resistance ratings: 1. **Water Resistant (30 meters/3 ATM)**: Watches with this rating can withstand splashes of water or light rain but are not suitable for swimming or diving. 2. **Water Resistant (50 meters/5 ATM)**: Watches with this rating are suitable for swimming, showering, and other water-related activities, but not for diving. 3. **Water Resistant (100 meters/10 ATM)**: Watches with this rating are suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water sports but may not be suitable for deep diving. 4. **Water Resistant (200 meters/20 ATM or more)**: Watches with this rating are suitable for recreational scuba diving and other water sports. It's important to note that water resistance can diminish over time due to wear and tear, aging of seals, or accidental damage. To maintain the water resistance of your watch, avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes, chemicals, or high-pressure water, and have it checked by a professional if you notice any signs of water intrusion or damage. Ultimately, always refer to the specific water resistance rating and guidelines provided by the manufacturer for your Accutime watch to ensure its proper care and use around water.

If your C9 Champion watch only goes up to the year 2020 and does not allow you to set the date beyond that, it may indicate that the watch's internal calendar function has a limited range. Unfortunately, some digital watches have a fixed range for their calendar function and cannot be manually adjusted beyond a certain year. In this case, if you need to set the date beyond 2020, you may not be able to do so with this particular watch model. However, there are a few things you can try: 1. **Check the Manual**: Refer to the user manual that came with your watch to see if there are any instructions or settings related to adjusting the calendar function. Sometimes, there may be a hidden feature or a specific button combination to extend the calendar range. 2. **Contact Customer Support**: Reach out to C9 Champion customer support or the manufacturer of the watch to inquire about the possibility of adjusting the calendar beyond 2020. They may have insights or instructions that are not included in the user manual. 3. **Consider Professional Assistance**: If you're unable to find a solution on your own, you could take the watch to a professional watch repair shop or jeweler. They may have the expertise to adjust or modify the watch's calendar function, although this could potentially void any warranty on the watch. If none of these options are successful, you may need to consider using an alternate method for tracking dates beyond 2020, such as a digital calendar app on your smartphone or computer.

ZERO-SETTING OF THE SECONDS-HAND & SUB-SECOND HAND ON THE SECTOR ADV1000 CHRONOGRAPH. NOTE: The pusher buttons A, B & C are positioned on the watch at the 2 o'clock (A), 10 o'clock (B) & 8 o'clock positions (C), while the crown is at the 4 o'clock position. 1) Set the crown at the normal (in) position. 2) Push the B button twice. 3) Pull out the crown to the 2nd position (fully out). a.) Seconds-hand setting: a push of button A moves the 2nd hand by 1 second. Move it until it is at the zero position. b.) 2/100ths second hand: a push of button B moves the 2/100ths second hand by one 2/100ths second. A continuous push moves it quickly. Move it until it is at the zero position. 4) Push the crown back in to normal position. QUICK-SET OF THE CALENDAR DATE With the alarm switch off, pull out the crown halfway to the first "out" position (not fully out). Turn the crown clockwise to quick-set the date.

If you've changed the batteries in your Bonaire Evap Cooling unit and you're seeing an error flashing up on the left-hand side of the display when you push any button, it could indicate a few potential issues: 1. **Incorrect Battery Installation**: Double-check that the batteries are installed correctly, with the positive and negative terminals aligned properly according to the markings in the battery compartment. Incorrect battery installation can lead to erratic behavior or display errors. 2. **Low Battery Voltage**: Ensure that the new batteries have sufficient voltage. Sometimes, even fresh batteries can be defective or have low power if they've been stored for a long time. Try replacing them with a different set of new batteries to see if the issue persists. 3. **Resetting the Unit**: Try performing a reset on the unit to clear any temporary glitches or errors. This can usually be done by unplugging the unit from power (or removing the batteries) for a few minutes, then plugging it back in (or reinstalling the batteries). 4. **Faulty Display or Control Panel**: If the error persists after trying the above steps, it's possible that there may be an issue with the display or control panel itself. In this case, you may need to contact Bonaire customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance or to arrange for repairs. 5. **Consult the User Manual**: Refer to the user manual or troubleshooting guide provided with your Bonaire Evap Cooling unit for specific instructions on dealing with error messages or display issues. The manual may contain additional information or troubleshooting steps tailored to your specific model. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's best to reach out to Bonaire customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance. They can provide expert guidance and help diagnose any underlying issues with your cooling unit.
