Waltham Day/date With Puw Movement

Hello,

 

This watch I recently overhauled along with a bulova and both started running fast ( I mean like 10 MINUTES per day) iimediately afterward. I was not able to pinpoint the dirct cause of the magnetizm, but it seems strange these were the only two watches that this happened to. I suspct one of them was already magnetized when I got it--the other I don't know how it happened.  In any case, I bought a chinese de-gausser and proceeded to push that button while holding the watch over it for 10 seconds and drawing up slowly. It worked and the Waltham is now running very very well--I don't go crazy over 5 or 10 seconds variations per day. The Bulova is still a little haywire, and I discovered that the index regulator was completely off. Through trial and error I have got it to within 2 minutes fast per day.  Here is the Waltham:

You can see pictures of the movement in an earlier post in the repair section: http://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/954-waltham-bulova-double-header/

    • I was wondering whether anyone could assist with some questions I have about my latest acquisition, which is a two train ‘Bravingtons Renown’ mantel clock - Pics attached I have done some reading about Bravingtons and believe they sourced movements from various suppliers, so I wondered whether anyone recognises this one. I have stripped and cleaned the movement and the clock is now running well, but there are a couple of dodgy brass springs that I would like to replace. I haven’t found anything suitable searching the internet so I wondered does anyone know of a supplier that might help. Last question is about the veneer on the case, it is generally in reasonable condition but there are a couple of patches on the top where the veneer has lifted. So far, I have tried to reactivate the existing adhesive by heating from below and above with a hair drier, then clamping for a day or two. It has improved slightly but the bulge is still visible. I’d be grateful for any advice if anyone has dealt with this sort of repair before.
    • Hi some pictures o& the movement and case would be appreciated so we can ascertain what the problem is you are having in fitting the movement.   Thank you.
    • Thank you very much,T. I'll try turning the arbour from the clock face end very carefully in case I haven't reassembled the suspension block correctly (I had to make up a suspension spring using remnants of a broken one as I haven't been able to find an exact replacement online).
    • Hi murks a picture of the front as well would help,   By the size of the plate it was stuck to I would suggest a coin cell,  2030,  2015 all depends on the height of the cell. And the space when the back is fitted.         3 volt. 
    • We seem to have gone a bit quiet on this ?  Do we all agree to ask Mark for some input on this matter, or is no-one really bothered.
