Tracy.  I think it is working again.  Maybe it was because I haven't logged in in quite a while?  When I click it it immediately downloads it rather than trying to open it in the browser.  Let me know if you are still having trouble.

Thanks, the link works and I can download the pdf. However the pdf cannot be opened?? Maybe the file is corrupted?

I have tried opening it no more than one computer. I also tried opening it using Adobe Acrobat Pro--on luck?

Can you check to see if it can be opened--maybe update the pdf?

Thanks, Tracy

Good afternoon,

I felt like I HAD to register and comment having found this doc online.  Wow.  I was desperately looking for some images of an FL movement very similar to this one as I am currently in the process of re-assembling one (my first movement assemble pretty much from scratch), never in my dreams did I think I was going to stumble upon a doc like this, which basically takes me though re-assembling the thing step by step!

I plan to use this doc extensively throughout this little project :)

Thanks SO much.

I recently got this watch and it happened that the stem fell off.  how does it lock in place?

Please do not  hook onto other topics just because you own a same watch. We have a section for questions as well one to introduce oneself, which is always appreciated.
Anyway I recommend that you bring or ship it to a competent repairer.

      Quarter repeater mainspring thickness

      By AlanB · Posted

      In repairing a generic Swiss cylinder quarter repeater pocket watch with no repeat mainspring I'm trying to work out how to determine the size of a suitable spring.  Barrel ID 7.6mm, Arbor 2.77mm height around 1.45mm. Clearly only one turn is used plus setup, but the only actual figure I can find in Saunier who says in the previous half century 3.5 turns was considered good (and Saunier is about 1880).  Calculating off that would suggest about a 0.15mm thick spring 128mm long. That feels intuitively a little thick, but I don't have another repeater conveniently to hand to check so any pointers welcome.  Photo shows the repeat train assembled without the bridge since that hides everything.   Alan

      To identify movements the standard practice is the actual diameter of the movement, and a front on image of both the movement side and the dial side- minus the dial. The setting mechanism (under the dial) is considered the "fingerprint" of the movement and 9/10 leads to full identification.

      What of? The wheel itself (standard lever escapement) or the plate with no numbers on it? Does that help, from the ebay listing?

      Thanks. I did make a self introduction— perhaps in the wrong place? 🤔😢In any I am an Australian 🇦🇺 American living in the beautiful Gold Coast, Queensland Australia. I love Grand Seiko and Seiko watches, and recently came back from the Grand Seiko Shizukuishi Studio in northern Japan where I was blown away by the design artistry and technical excellence. More later on that (including photos, if interested!)

      Bbefixer. I had the same type of problem when I first joined the forum. A pocket watch movement with no markings. Photographs of the the movement, and the members came to the rescue. Within days I had a number of suggestions. Found the details and information of the movement on ranfft. Never managed to get a donor, but at least I know what I need.  The members are really knowledgeable.
