Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can help me? I've been given a Cartier Tank Americaine chronograph 2312, with a 212P quartz movement inside The hands won't set because the operating cam is missing The winding stem passes through it and when the winding stem is turn slightly, the minute and hour hands will move. How much depends if the winding stem is pulled out into the first or second position. I've taken a picture of where the operating cam should go and have marked it with red. I also have an operating manual by Cartier, which is pretty scant on any real information that is useful So what I would like to know is, what is the job of the operating cam? I'm assuming it makes a contact between two points Also, does anyone know where I can get a replacement, otherwise I'll have to make one out of 0.5 mm thick brass and put a 0.8 mm square hole into it before filing it down to shape? The winding stem is 0.7 mm wide where it passes through the operating cam. Does anyone have a better schematic of this movement, other than this I've attached? Cartier_212P-TECH.pdf
