Part 1, Luminox 3050 project

[@sequen-cielscientific]

These watches are expensive I expected to see a movement with rubies thank you for your demonstration for the partial autopsy of this watch .

[@cullennowell7813]

These take a 395 battery if anyone is curious.

[@rbatterton]

Is there a part 2? Can't seem to find it. Interested in seeing the hands pulled and the movement replaced.

[@chrisnihart]

Thanks for sharing the dos& don'ts. Mine needs a battery. Great short tutorial.

[@phil726]

Congratulations on the 3k ..keep up your great video's 👍

[@spookyspoots]

I lol'd when I saw the battery was missing. Reminded me of one time I was called into a meeting room to fix a malfunctioning TV for a bunch of bigwigs in the middle of a meeting, just to show them that they had forgotten to plug the TV in.

[@viawilderness]

😂...as a maintenance guy myself, I live for moments like these

[@mickeymouse9167]

Do you have a part 2? How did you replace the movement?

[@ryanstafford8544]

Congrats on the 3k subscribers!

[@SkuttleBug1974]

A $20 movement for a watch that retails for 500 bucks.

[@ronnie_5150]

Yeah, I was pretty surprised. Took mine into a watch repair shop, guy told me it needs a new movement, wanted to charge me $150. I Said "No, that's OK." Took it home, bought one online for $23, another shop put it in for $25.

[@stauffer65]

Congrats on 3k brother! Great vid!!

[@RandomRobReviews]

Watches Galore Oh yeah, thanks bro. Found movement that is specific for luminox for tube clearance on hands. $29, so should have about $60 into the watch.

[@stauffer65]

Random Rob You can't beat that with a stick!!

[@RandomRobReviews]

Watches Galore Which is a strong possibility of how this series ends. Haha

[@matt4398]

I just had a new wenger with a 515 ronda mysteriously die. Tried a new battery but no luck. I'm thinking its not the most reliable movement.

[@RandomRobReviews]

Anonymous Hit and miss. Movement is cheap for standard 515. The Luminox is $30 cause of the taller hand shaft to clear the tritium tubes. If you want to send the watch I can try and make repair? Or take to local watch guy and get it fixed.

[@Lee_K_5555]

Yeah, I had a Victorinox Renegade with a 515 that experienced a complete failure after ten years of service. I don't consider them anything but a disposable watch.

[@MacPro8CoreMan]

I have several watches with Ronda 515 over the years and have not one failure. All of mine are manufactured in Switzerland instead of parts unknown. By directly from Ronda and specify Swiss Made. Also the big watch parts online companies will understand the Swiss Made difference as well. The Ronda 715 is a direct replacement and gives you 1.5 to 2 extra years of battery life. I highly recommend sourcing the brand of battery that Ronda recommends... There is a difference​!

[@christophertaylor9230]

Can you undo some of those screws and see if there is something obvious like a broken wire or connection that could be soldered?

[@RandomRobReviews]

Christopher Taylor Sure can dig in more.

[@gazthomson8619]

Well done buddy good on ya ,iv only just got one ,I did get one back in 2018 but was broke chrono did not work so put me off a bit but I got one for little bargain and it's been tested had battery change so should be all good ,any tips can you make the lume brighter , I see few people use a blue light ,anyways 6 years later but good vid, was very interesting 😊

[@hughgreentree9672]

Probably a dead coil. I have a Series 7050 that died on December 25th, 2019 and I've read that is a likely problem. If you have the right tools, replacing the coil is cheaper and easier than replacing the movement. But I may go your route and see about replacing the movement on mine.

[@Danielo197]

I have a traser code blue, I think it's the Swiss quartz ronda 715, it takes a Renata 371

[@dude28405]

I have a dead luminox I'm going to have to change the movement. It looks to be the same watches just green. It dead in the packaging Still has the plastic on it. I replaced the battery and nothing happened. Do you happen to know exactly what movement that is I see there's A 515 on mine but I think it takes the taller one than standard. I didn't completely disassemble the watch to measure it yet.

[@RandomRobReviews]

Yeah. I forget the exact number but ordered from esslinger. They had a Ronda 515 listed for luminox

[@plojon]

Do you know how long a diameter of o-ring rubber seal? I want to replace it

[@garth3236]

Quartz movements are not usually serviceable, this one isn't. Buy a new movement & fit that to fix your watch. Just make sure you get the correct pinion height for the hands, as they have to clear the tubes (obviously).

[@pmurgatroy]

What happened to part 2??? just wondering

[@perrymcmasters2730]

Look at November 25, 2017

[@freddiemercurious]

so did you put a battery in it?

[@TheJahar09]

I still got this 3050/3950

[@westleylarsen195]

I have one of these and the battery contact broke that sits under the battery. Can you offer any help with my options?

[@RandomRobReviews]

Not sure if just that part can be bought or repaired. The entire movement from essljnger is not very expensive

[@westleylarsen195]

@@RandomRobReviews all of them are 515s right? My first number is scratched, I assume it's a 5. Also the yellow plastic piece belongs under that battery post correct?

[@2000xlt]

I bought one second hand got a decent deal on it they said it needed a battery,, so I opened it and I realize the battery hold down tab is missing any idea how or where I can get one.. without sending it to Luminox???

[@wizardofahhhs759]

A small piece of aluminum foil will work, all it needs is to make a connection in order to operate.

[@freddiemercurious]

just drop it once more. Won't hurt anything.

[@reviewtube5005]

I know this video is old but I did t see any other comment. I'm fairly sure that was a 515 movement.

[@michaelt6265]

I have a Luminox that don't work right..It stops then gos..I put a new bat in it...Plus the crown won't tighten, it just free spools..I noticed the last two weeks when I had it on the living room floor that it was keeping time so I put it on...then a few hours later I checked the time on it and it was off about 30 min...This happened 3 different times..for some reason it's keeping time while flat on the floor but when I wear it it looses time...Lmssao😂😆 ..why the Effin Friggin Fug would it do that???

[@danriverman70]

Found same one at a pawnshop for $60. Couldn’t pass it up.

[@twstrchasr]

I have a 3050 that the second hand sticks on the hr and minute hand. Sooo freaking irritating !! Anyone else have that problem on their Luminox ??

[@acrivcleo5781]

Me too

[@brandonar868]

Fix and setup a giveaway

[@mikevac1978]

clean the salt off the case back and the movement

[@Lailapalacio1235-j7s]

Mine lasted a year and a half before the movement crapped out

[@RandomRobReviews]

Movement died before battery? Ugh

[@Danielo197]

Could you tell me what movement takes a cr2012? It's a Luminox 3600 series? Titanium looks like commander

[@TheCaydon]

Ronda 715Li 6.7mm overall height

[@tomb1198]

I Need a winder for mine. Want to sell that?

[@stephenswindle3839]

It seems to me you would’ve put a battery in it just to see if that was the issue. I don’t know if you’ve tried that but it seems that if you did you would’ve put it in this video, just to see if the movement works with a battery installed. Because buying a new movement without checking to see if the battery was the issue would cost you more money, but your video doesn’t show you doing that!!! 🥴🧐

[@Mark-sd7fc]

I bet your son would think that this is a cool watch give him first dibs , or maybe fix it and give it to one of your cool subscribers who loves tritium tubes! I think I know just the guy 🤔 lol

[@wizardofahhhs759]

Who the hell sells a broken watch? Or better yet who buys one?😂😂

[@viawilderness]

People can recoup alot of money by selling broken watches, especially higher end watches. People profit off of buying them and repairing/reselling. The better question is why would you throw one away?? A broken Luminox is atleast a twenty dollar bill

[@doctoruttley]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@venancio1971ify]

fake watch bro
