Need help with this ETA 2784


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

I have disassemble/reassemble the keyless like 20 times, the date position works fine, the changing hour position works fine, but the winding position doesn't work, it make horrible sound and it's like it winds for a second and turns freely the next second and it unwind eventually just after a few seconds.

I thought it could be the main spring but I've replace the barrel spring completely from another 2784 I have and the problem is still there.

And it stops....and I have to push the balance wheel to make it start, check at 0:27 sec on the video.

Any idea on where could be the problem?

 

EDIT: I realized the ratchet wheel has some missing teeth....could that be the problem?

Watch is running fine but it still stops randomly, then I have to make to the second wheel and it starts again.

I guess the second pinion wheel must be bent as I had trouble fitting the second hand before this happened.

So I guess I have to remove the train bridge to check for the second wheel pinion, that's the thing I was trying to avoid.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
    • C07641+ not sure what the "+" is for after the last digit.
