The sping is not pushing directly on the cap, but is pushing against the spindle. So, even if the usual black cap is replaced with the micrometer cap, the spindle is still pushed up. -
But he tells that the micrometer cap doesn't screw into the spindle. How can the spring push the spindle up if there's nothing to grip? There is a screw visible on top of the micrometer cap so should it be able to screw into the spindle? I'm feeling really dumb now. Does anyone manufacture that cap as an aftermarket item? Might be worth investing. Ok so the spindle is different, now I get it. -
I suppose? If it worked before and it doesn't work now I guess the question would be why does it not work now? That would come back to if you did not have the chronograph module on will it work or is the chronograph module sucking too much power out of the watch basically 99 usually when they go bad you can hold on the tube part and usually just spin the wheel because it has zero holding at all so usually when they go bad they go bad very bad. You should build hotel when you set the watch as to whether it seems to have any friction or not. I'm just wondering if the chronograph module is the problem. -
Thinking about his DVDs I inherited one. Strangely enough I've never watched it. It does have a interesting picture on the cover though. Then at the link below it explains about the contents of the DVD. I assume the DVD covers the machine on the cover of the package and I see in the contents they even explain how to make a indexing if you don't have another indexing wheel to copy. https://wrsmithclocks.com/product/tooling-the-workshop-for-clockmakers-and-modelmakers/

Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer. I have had this watch for a long time and it previously stopped due to an obstruction in the train. Never had any issues with the cannon pinion until after the service.
