@Kalanag, how do you lubricate this wheel? I find the chart not very clear. -
Can you post photos as I'm not 100% what you mean? Are you talking about not being able to get the bridle end of the mainspring into the winder? -
I've got an issue in pushing the hook in a mainspring winder. Either Bergeon or Chinese clones. From Mark, Alex Hamilton or any number of YouTubers; it's simple. Stop short, brass tweezers and push the end of the spring in. Simple as. I am just having a massive issue doing this. I've tried all angles and approaches and in the end if it goes in it does so with a lot of force or by lifting the winder up a little (which risks mainspring birdsnest o'clock). Am I doing something stupid? Has anyone faced this issue, foundboutvwhst they're doing wrong and what the fix is? I just ruined my first main spring. It's for an st3600 (so hardly delicate), and I was using the correct size Bergeon winder (for the ETA 6497.1), so it's not like there should have been a room issue. All help gratefully received. -
If one of the fingers has rotated 180Deg then it must at some time have been loose so can't understand why it's not free to move now?
