  1. Hello, I hope you all are fine. 10 or 12 years ago I bought a "rare" cheap movement, it had a big plate and hour ring, but no dial, hands or crown, as "longines" was printed in the auto rotor, it was a cheap toy to play with, but it slept in the drawer since then. Recently I got back to watches and after long search, I find the movement looks like the Longines GMT model, and was lucky to find a "longines" cheap dial that fit 2824 and a chinese case that can hold the big plate, the movement seems to have married so many times that it will not mind new alien parts. The problem I found is that the hour ring is driven by a big wheel that seem quite loose from his tiny pinion, and goes and stops depending on the relative position and hence friction of wheel and pinion. You can see the pinion shaft is around half a millimeter diameter, not too much torque strength allowed in my oppinion. It seems to be a common problem, almost all photos of that model I've seen on internet have the ring hour and hands poorly synchronised, but that's another history. As wheel and pinion seems to be riveted together, I dont want to force unmounting risking to destroy it, so thought that "gluing" could be a reasonable solution, but I don't want to use a permanet glue, that can't be easily dissolved if I need to adjust, glue it again or whatever other reason. I tried blue thread locker with a deceiving outcome, it ran fine for a couple days, and then they unglued, maybe because of smal adhesion surface for such big wheel. Have you experience with this movement or know good adhesives that could bear such load, having into account that surfaces can't be easily cleaned or sanded? Any help will be highly apreciated. Best regards to all and take care. (PS: Don't know how to comment each photo, sorry)
