C1 Russel case back screw
C1 Russel case back screw
But of a long shot, while replacing the battery on my C1 I lost one of the case back screws, CW customer services were no help insisting I need to send the watch back to get a new screw and would not give any information about the screw I need. I am wondering if anyone hear knows the correct screw size.

I would try a local jeweler or dealer. They usually have an assortment of screws around around for their own screw ups or to replace stripped ones.

Re: C1 Russel case back screw
Could be that they don't actually know. The watches are assembled in Switzerland by their suppliers, they'll likely have a bunch of spare parts for that watch from the supplier, but I can imagine the situation where they don't hold the specifications for all the parts or that the parts are specific to a model and not available outside their supplier.

I suppose, but I think if Wera was still there she’d have taken the 15 seconds to email Switzerland and find out.richtel wrote:Could be that they don't actually know.

That's a shame. I had a similar issue with a Citizen watch and Citizen UK supplied me with a set of 4 screws for free.

I don't frequent this forum as much as I used to so may have missed it. What happened to Wera? She was always great to work with.gatehealing wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 4:24 pmI suppose, but I think if Wera was still there she’d have taken the 15 seconds to email Switzerland and find out.richtel wrote:Could be that they don't actually know.
