  3. i have only ever used old oilers which i may have to adjust the end to size, as i seem to mainly work on tiny movements they are good where you sometimes have to get in between coils and can be bent easily to get into awkward places

  4. Yes, Feiko as in fake Seiko or Seiko full of aftermarket/dodgy parts.http://www.philippinewatchclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2310

  5. This is sometime done on Seiko, e.g. on the 7005. Probably because it's not too difficult to fit escapement and pallet fork upside down (not that I've tried).

  6. Wow! Good spotting, guys. I was offered a big brand name watch "cheap" at a secondhand shop some years ago now. I looked at the dial and something rang out "FAKE". So I said I'd think about it and went home and Googled some images of the real McCoy. The offered watch was as fake as a US three dollar bill! So I went back to the shop and scolded the owner for representing it as genuine. He was pretty off hand about the whole affair and told me to "P___ off!" So I left the shop in a huff and rang the company's representatives over here who said they'd investigate. Some time later I noticed the shop had been shuttered and had a "for sale" sign on it. Justice is sweet!

  11. At first the movement looks well done, but... Holes for the four stones on bridge left of balance are not bevelled. Same for the two screw siding first auto winding wheel (gold) Balance anti-shock should be a sophisticated hinged affair, not some sort of Novodiac Figures on the rotor weight are kind of.. goofy. Fantastic picture here which I'm not posting as it surely copyrighted. http://professionalwatches.com/upload/2014/01/audemars_piguet_ceramic_diver_/Audemars-Piguet-Royal-Oak-Offshore-Ceramic-Diver-caliber-3120.jpg

  13. These might be the tools. I got these with a job lot of tools on eBay a few years ago & I have never used them.

  14. Found the problem? It was the hacking lever that moved when i leaned the movement to that side. Stopping the balance to move. Working fine when the keyless work is assemble again.

  15. I believe that the best way to assemble and fix a movement is to first understand how everything about it works. So I made some animations to help in understanding how the chronograph assembly works. The Seiko 6139 features a column wheel and a vertical clutch. The chronograph second engages and engages with the 4th wheel via a clutch spring. The clutch is controlled by the first and second coupling levers. See how pressing the operating lever rotates the column wheel, which in turn, controls the coupling levers. While the chronograph is running, pressing the flyback lever will have no effect. But when the chrono is stopped, pressing the flyback lever will activate the hammer, which in turn, resets the chronograph second wheel and the minute recorder wheel. I hope these animations were helpful.
