I must be getting clumsy,  old (or both). I have broken 2 stems in a week. HSL very kindly sorted me an equivilant for an ETA movement. Now a nice little Cyma has suffered the same fate through me being careless. You know the type. Snap on back. movement comes out inserted in the back. Dial is flush with the edge of the case. Can''t lever dial for fear of damage so a finger nail under the crown usually free's up the movement. Not with this one. The stem broke like a carrot. An extension is not possible because there is no thread left on the business end of the stem. The usual suppliers tell me that its obsolete. Any ideas from anyone that might help me get a stem for a 486-2.

If you have a look for the Ronda winding stem replacement you should look for one called RONDA 1362, sometimes it's easier to get those.

cousinuk obviously says they are obselute but a romainian ebayer has them, bought some odd stuff from him before.

Thanks again HSL Your a lifesaver. Think I will use that link you gave me....I did find another website called Windingstems.com which might be useful in the future but a bit more expensive. Especially if I keep breaking 2 a week

      You don't have to use his special tester. Any good multimeter would work.

      Pocket watch escape wh

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Yes, it looks like GT Revue 30. Doctor, You can not replace escape wheel by the dimensions You listed. One needs to know much more things like number of leaves of the pinion and it's diameter, the position in high of the table and the pinion, the hight between the pivots, the exact pivots diameter... And then, even if suitable wheel is found, one will need to know how to adjust the pallets position correctly. Restoring antique movements is something different than replacing parts. In older movements parts are not interchangeable, this means spare parts do not exist. Here the case is different, but still escapement adjustment will be needed if a wheel from a donor is found. So may be it will be easier to restore the donor for You...Restoring antique movements usually means making of the parts needed and this requires knowlage and working on lathes skill. In this case repivoting of the wheel is the natural solution, but there is a long way that one must walk untill getting ready for such work.

      How to store one dip

      By Waggy · Posted

      I was looking at Essence of Renata, a chemical used a lot for cleaning hairsprings: "Specially prepared solution for degreasing watch and instrument components. Indispensable for degreasing hairsprings." Looking at the MSDS you can see this is just pure n-Heptane, so could be an option for those who don't want to use the chlorocarbons or hexane?     HF6013 - Horological Essence COSHH Safety Data Sheet Horological Essence_0.pdf
