Problem: Hour dial and center wheel will not stay in place.What holds the center wheel down on the canon-pinion? So when the hour wheel is set in place on the center wheel it will all stay? Do you have a drawing of the assembly? My watch repairman hasn't a clue. Thank you | ||

Hmmm. How can a center wheel not stay in place? That sounds very strange to me. The mystery disks on these watches are pressure fit just like conventional hands, so it sounds like the hole to secure them is worn. Sounds like you need a different repair guy, it's not that complicated. | ||

I've noticed that some Galaxy mystery dials for sale contain the 480/CW movement while others use the smaller K818/2. Is one more sought after or reliable than the other? Is the difference simply reflective of a different year of manufacture? From a parts perspective, how serviceable are these watches, including replacing the disks? Thanks, Bruce | ||

The smaller cal 818 movements replaced the cal 480 in the last years of production of the LeCoultre Mystery Dial models. The watches are easy to service and the disks are simply press-fit in place just like hands on a traditional watch. However, care must be taken when removing/replacing the clear plastic minute disk as they crack and scratch quite easily. Greg | ||

If the clear plastic minute disk in a Galaxy Mystery Dial watch is cracked or scratched, are you able to replace it? Is this part available? Thanks, Bruce |
