Asian 2836 pushed to hard on the stem removal button

The reason the winding pinion is round is that the movement isn't winding the mainspring whilst doing other things on the watch like setting time, day and date. 
I took some minutes and tore down a movement to show what to look after and how to rebuild the keyless work.
The first picture shows the parts for you, to think about here is that the clutch goes in the right way, The straight cut gears should point towards the motion works, the winding pinion should have the angled gears towards the motion work too.
The clutch lever is placed into the grove in the clutch. If mounted as in the picture you should be okay.

In picture 2 the spring pops into place, just be sure it is installed correctly otherwise the winding action might feel a bit of.
Hope this helps....

On the ETA version which I am working on the winding pinion is rotating when you have the stem pushed into the inner position. Then it is winding your mainspring. Hence the name. I would be very surprised if it did not do that on the clone too. 

The only time the winding would not work is if you haven't enough force on the clutch to grip into the winding pinion. 
Of course a missing  crown wheel, broken click spring, and a broken mainspring would do it too but as I understand it you just removed the key less work to fix the release button issue.

The force to grip the pinion wheel comes from the spring in the part you marked 3 in your photo. The spring part has to be adjusted slightly into position after loosening it to get the spring action to the clutch lever.
It is what you see in my third picture.

Here is where the trick with the day/date happens. When you take it to the middle position you can see the small intermediate wheel jump into a other position, now you should be able to set the date since the wheel now is running the gear beside it. In the most outer position you can see the small wheel moved again and now you should be able to set the time.
 in the two latter positions the winding pinion stands still. You can see the gears in the picture above, I have taken away the bridge plate so one can see.

oops just realized I by mistake took an ETA2824-2 for the picture above.. well it's almost the same except it misses the gears for the day setting, winding the stem on yours clockwise should set the date and anti clockwise the day..

OK, so my problem is another story : )

At the moment I finished the work on my 2836, put the watch in the watch mover and let that make the work.

Anyway when I have time and open the movement again I´ll place that in the forum and I will work on the winding problem.

Thanks so far ; )

Even if the video is a little shaky one almost can see that the setting lever jumper (no:3 in your picture) isn't working as it should, it rises a little bit when going into winding position (Pos 1)
indicating there is something wrong there.
If you fix the spring action in this area, which probably got a little bit offset from the little to hard push on the setting lever (it holds the winding pin).
So dismantle everything again and carefully bend the setting lever jumper so it gets slightly nearer the main plate.
Make sure the grove in the winding pin is aligned with the little heel in the setting lever. 
Make sure the yoke is correctly placed in the clutch (sliding pinion) grove.
Make sure the setting lever jumper is correctly in position.
Make sure the spring on the setting lever jumper is pushing on the yoke.

I made a new video.... you still think its the setting lever jumper ?

From the video you can see the yoke isn't moving at all, this indicates it might have jumped out from the groove in the sliding pinion and that is why there is no spring action when you put it in the Winding position.

    • Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor. 
    • I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂
    • Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
    • Hi! I am in the process of restoring a rado captain cook mkII. I want to remove the rotor, but I am not sure how to and need some help. As you can hopefully see on the photo there are 2 screws. The left one has two positions, the right one looks like a regular screw. I have tried turning the right one, but it does not give even after using more force than I would expect. Anyone know the function of the left screw with the two positions and how to remove the rotor? Thanks!!
    • Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy
