HI All

I have been messing around with cheap watch movements and have been pretty successful in rebuilding them. I Had lost my Crown cover on my Cartier and finally after over a year found one ..The watch looked pretty dirty so I decided just to remove some of the gunk, so I removed the movement. While  replacing the stem I was having a hard time but finally got it in . I can rotate the hands but I can not quick set the date. The date will set by rotating hands. I am pretty sure I can handle it but I am a little nervous  as this watch cost more than my first car. Before I dig into it I would like to know possible causes.

 

Thank You

Anthony

Ok I found a suitable screw in my rejects pile.  ...But Movement not fixed... I get it to work but when I remove stem to insert movement into case I can't get the stem back in properly. I take it apart again and it works find until I remove stem ..Am I removing and installing stem properly. I push down on the pin to both remove and install stem. What the hell am I  doing wrong?

Is the crown or stem fouling on the case, stem tube or some other obstruction, and stopping the stem/keyless work from returning to the running position, leaving it sort of half in and half out? I've seen a build up of gunk inside the crown causing unreliable action of the crown. is there any crown, or crown stem gasket that might be misplaced, swollen or gone hard over time?

Did you clean and lubricate the keyless works?


Show us some close up pictures please.

Hi AndyHull

 

It was user error ...I did not realize you are suppose to remove the stem in the time set position ...I rebuilt key less and all is fine now .

Thank you for your reply.

Anthony

PS I purchased a clone 2892 to practice on before I rip The Cartier apart. If I don't destroy it I'll use it for another watch build.

I haven't  had any problems with other movements concerning removing the stem...But in general is it best to remove while in setting position or does it differ from movement to movement.

For what its worth ..I think I answered my own question .. When removing stem on 6498 movement, stem should be in the winding position. Otherwise the winding pinion falls out. So I guess position of stem when removing it depends on movement

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By Khan · Posted

      Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?

      The part was how it fell out of the movement - the train wheel bridge wasn’t screwed in.    I’ll probably dismantle the part, if I can, to work it out.    The train of wheels ran fine - it was only once the keyless works were installed I noticed the problem.

      Balance staff sourcing?

      By mthomas828 · Posted

      Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Thats why i asked that question earlier, what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ?  As opposed to walled within its non epilamed area . I'm not saying its right, i have no idea , just asking questions.
