56 DJ 1065 movt and dial loose
After tightening the crown of my DJ last time, I felt it pop a bit and noticed the dial was just left of center. Loosening the crown again, I noticed I could wiggle the movement and dial with the crown. Looking inside, I can see what appear to be two set screws with small clips that sit below a groove in the case, one at 12, the other at 6. A groove in the case also appears at 9, but no associated set screw. Assuming they could have loosened, I tried to tighten the 2 screws a bit but see they're about as tight as they're going to be. The clips they attach to are in sitting within case's grooves but there appears to be little if any pressure or friction to keep them seated. They merely slide laterally if the crown is moved. While the movement is running properly, it bothers me to see the dial sitting slightly askew and would assume the force on the crown and pin, other than rotational or axial, would be bad as well. Last time the watch was sent out, it took nearly 6 months to get back as it's vintage. I don't want to go that route if there's a relatively simple fix. Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers, Doc
