    I have incomplete balances with two different types of shock springs: KIF and Trior For the main plate spring, I'll send you the whole thing. J

    Hello! Sorry for the delay. Please see the attached photos. The white arrows point to the place where the springs contact to keep the date wheel and quick change mechanisms ( the two levers near the 9' hour marker) in place. I have jewels and springs, so just let me know which ones specifically you need. Regards, J

    Yes I have lots of assembly pictures, remind me which BFG 158 31/7 you have? Is it a sicura jump hour or a Cordura day /date? Joe

    Hi J

    I was incontact with you awhile back regarding a RONDA RL 1223.

    I have just got round to fitting ALARM stem and it broke!

    From the parts manual it is PN: 7401 Alarm winding stem.

    Do you know where i can get 1 or 2, as not had a lot of luck with this movement?

    This is not the winding stem at the top. (I guess you know that)!

    Yes, the seconds are friction fitted and can be removed using a pair of hand levers or .80mm screwdrivers inserted into the small slots seen in the picture. Apply steady, upward pressure...not too much because the seconds disc may warp if you push up too hard. Slow and steady. Here a link to a jump hour overhaul I did a few years ago

    Its great to have so many knowledgeable people to learn from, yes? I've rewound a few mainsprings the wrong way in my day, and its something that one learns to quickly be very careful about because you have to take most of the watch apart to get to the mainspring. If you just starting out, take a picture of the mainspring orientation as soon as you open the barrel, and that way you can figure out which way it is supposed to be rewound once you get everything clean--very helpful especially with auto-winding mechanisms.

  34. noirrac1j
    The image shows a left winding mainspring. Welcome to the forum! J

    I also clean balance assemblies in Naphtha (lighter fluid() and it dissolves all crud and dries with no residue--just work with lidded jars and in a ventilated area. J
