CUSTOM DECAL DIAL TUTORIAL

very good show! I'll try it. vin -

dose it have an autmatic spring?? if so, theres your problem. i have an omega speedmaster, 1970 that slips just like that.. here is my opinion --main spring is broken or the spring ( on ether end) "sliped the hook". vin

the click (paul) is a rachet for the rachet wheel, part of the mainsping barrel. correct? the watch will not run if the main spring is (up tight). if you want to take the balance out. "let down the main spring". this watch has the winding stem "locked up", can not let the spring down. i want to avoid a total tear down of this valuable watch. SO, if i can find the click and release it, a total tear down MAY be avoided. are you with me now? cheers, vin

Automatic mainspring, to oil or not to oil?
vinn3 replied to centerwheel's question in Watch Repairs Help & Advice
if my information is true; the only reason it is alloud to slip is "if it was anchored in the barrel "as normal" main spring" the winder could break it. some put a standard spring in, some watches will wind with the rotor removed. "to each his own". vin -
