Hello all!!! I've enjoyed these posts for the past couple of years but have yet to join.  Wonderful informative information here.  Thank you!

I was wondering if anyone would have some insight on how to approach something.

I have an Issue with a Seiko 6139.  The Chrono flyback sweeping second is relatively fast but watch is in time (both on Timeographer and in the world).  Literally Fast relative to the rest of the watch...how can this be independent?

On the timeographer it is dead spot on with healthy amplitude but the fly back second hand when its engaged runs fast. Like a 1.5 seconds per minute fast.  I would think that this would affect its general time keeping but it doesn’t. The hour and minute hand of a 24 to 48 hour periods is accurate. But the second hand runs fast.  How could that be. Issue with vertical clutch or something. I'm not that familiar with Auto Chrono's.  How can the watch be keeping time on the graph and in real world with the second hand going so fast?
 
Any insight would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks

Marcus
 
oh, btw...I spelled my name wrong when signing up.  Hopefully I'll be able to revise that as well.

Hello!  Thank for the welcome and the response.  I actually didn't do anything but regulate the watch to less than .03 beat error and +/- 5 seconds a day.  It was running a strong 240-250 amplitude (for seiko). so I left it alone.  Like I said, I have not experience servicing a chrono.  Only direct second hands and sub second hands.  But my rudimentary knowledge leads me to  think that this second hand would also be in alignment with timing of  the rest of the movement and escapement. 

 

I will to demagnetize and get back to you.  Can I do that whole?  In case with balance spring present?

 

Thank you again for the generosity of your time.

Yes.  It is watch demagnetizer.  Watch runs great but the seconds are fast. A bit over a second a minute. I would think that would increase the rate of entire watch but the sweep second is gaining time independent of the rest of the watch it seems.  Watch hasn’t gained a minute in the last 48 hours.  

I demagnetized and problem still persist 

lift angle set at 54

Something with the vertical clutch?  

Still, I would think it would run in harmony with the rest of the power train and escapement   

 

I love learning about these things    I hope you guys don’t mind guiding me on this

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.

      Setting lever spring

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yeah ive watched that a few times before,  i couldnt find my old school dividers to scribe it up 😅 Yep thats the guy i bought a roll from . Thanks Nicklesilver that answers that perfectly and more or less what i thought an experiment over time would prove . The jumper arm is quite thick along its length, i left it that way intentionally, i thought the original was probably very thin, i didnt see that it was already missing. Setting isn't particularly stiff as such just positive, i still need to take it out and polish where it mates with the stem release.

      Yes, "Sold out" is difficult to understand. There doesn't seem to be a lot going on. It's been nine months since any new video was published on the Watch Repair Channel. The Level 4 course on watchfix.com has been in progress for what feels like forever (several years!?). Maybe Mark's enterprises aren't doing well or perhaps already so profitable there's nothing much to motivate him for more material. Or, perhaps these days he's more into crochet. The real reason is probably something entirely different but it would be nice/interesting to know. I don't mean to sound gloomy or pessimistic, but I wouldn't be surprised to be met by an HTTP 404. Every day feels like a gift. Speaking of watchfix.com I've been postponing the "Level 5: Servicing Chronograph Watches" course for a very, very long time. Anyway, I just enrolled on it so it's going to be very interesting to see the videos. I must say, IMO there's nothing really that can compete with Mark's courses when it comes to presentation and video quality. It's simply world-class and makes me associate with some really expensive BBC productions.
