Hi there,

I'm working on my Pierce 103SC and would really like to find some more information about Pierce watches, and the 103SC in particular.  I've scoured the internet as much as I can but have come up blank.  Does anyone have any information on this brand/this movement or know a place to look?  Specifically I'd like to find datasheets/manuals/catalogs about it.

Thanks in advance!

PS.  It's basically this watch, but with a nicer dial (in my opinion): https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Rocail-military-swiss-watch-cal-pierce-103-SC-50-S-for-parts-or-repair/254201434142?hash=item3b2f96101e:g:Td4AAOSwoF5cjd2m

Haha, I was debating dismantling that but decided not to since I don't have a puller or a press to do it.

 

Thanks for the info, I hadn't looked at julesborel before!

 

I've actually got it "running" except one of the balance endstone springs just broke :( (I mixed up the top and bottom jewels).  Hopefully it's a standard enough part that the local watch repair place will have a spare they can sell me.  Right now the watch only runs if it's perfectly level, any inclination and the one jewel upsets and the balance stops.  Hopefully that's the only problem with the balance haha.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      Before putting it back in the case I would fit the hands and use a pin vice on the stem to make sure the hands were in line.

      Put the movement in a movement holder and it will be supported as you push down on the setting lever post to release the winding stem. Make sure the post is over the shoulder of the movement holder so what you are pressing down on is supported. As a general rule, hold the movement and not the movement holder. Replace the hands when the movement isn't in the case and support the centre jewel (if it has one) on a hard surface or staking block when replacing the hands to stop the jewel accidentally moving or even coming out. A dedicated movement holder with a central jewel support is even better, but pricey

      It might help us if we knew which watch like model number.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      Hi, guys I have a bit of a predicament and hopefully, somebody can advise. I'm working on a Roamer MST 521 where the movement is extracted from the crystal side. I'm now at the final hurdle where I need to replace the movement back into its case but I'm not sure of the correct procedure. I still need to fit the hands but that's where the problem lies. If I insert the winding stem to test the hands for correct alignment I will need to turn the movement over to release the stem again it's the spring-loaded type and needs a small bit of force to push down but with the hands fitted, I don't think I can do this on a cushion without causing some damage to the hands and that's the last thing I want to do, this watch has already been a love-hate relationship and I'm so close to boxing this one off which I'm counting as my first major project.  The other option is to case the movement then fit the hands and hope everything is okay. I've already broken the original winding stem but managed to find a replacement, the last one in stock, so I'm a bit reluctant to keep removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
