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

      You're right Rich, throwing money at something that is practically worthless. I've had i happen a few times, its  disappointing, but a lesson learned in checking everything out before you put in too much effort. I'm still tempted to look through a load of balances and wheels i have to see whats doable with the genuine staffs, I'm thinking the  wheel that it came with is not genuine, it's had it weight completely hacked down.

      Ok thanks  it was just the brass cover next to the previous 3 keyless parts. Normally i wouldn't have expected that to be used to identify,  but I've searched American,  German and French part catalogs and coming up with nothing for the set lever,set spring and  yoke. I will have another look later today. There is another way but you would have to measure the stem very accurately.

      The diameter of the dial side is 40mm, and the other side 36,5mm. Here is another picture

      The chronometer on the dial might just be a brand name, looking back yes i was mislead by the mention of Remontoir inside the case. Still not sure why it says Ancre Remontoir which translates to anchor winder, i imagine that means lever winder which still suggests to me 2 winding springs. I'm sure i have that same watch with chronometer on the dial ,I've never ventured inside it. My missus looks after 90% of my watches , so i will get hold of that one and have a look inside. Haha no not a remontoire, looks very basic.  Good to see the keyless works, can you measure the plate size to cut down on the search for them. Can you lay out that brass bridge cover as well please next to the other 3 pieces.

      That's true. It is not a chronometer. As a matter of fact, I got it with another timepiece which is e real one, and only that (not a watch). I add a few pictures of my Chronometer / watch. no indication of a brand ...
