Pallet cock

Recommended Posts

Hi

I have just started my first rebuild.

I'm hoping to get help.

I'm doing my first rebuild and i've come to the escape wheel and the pallet (the anchor thing with 2 jewels that interacts with escape wheel)

Do they just have to be placed on the jewel? I can see no hole within the jewel to accept the escape wheel or pallet.

It just seems very loose.

Is this correct or have i made another mistake

Thought i would ask before screwing down the pallet cock.

cheers

Huh... Very odd that a pivot jewel would have no hole for the pivot. Can you provide a picture of the situation? Could it be a capped jewel but with hole jewel missing?

I think i've explained wrong,There's a hole with a jewel at the bottom of each hole.The pallet  and escape wheel both fit in the hole. but there no hole, In the jewel itself? So the escape wheel and pallet are loose fitting into there holes.

God i hope i've explained that better

apologies

Have you looked at any YT vids of how a watch works? Sorry I don't have a link handy but there are a bunch, some of tge old ones from Hamilton and Elgin/ Waltham are superb, very clearly showing the function of each part with animation and everything.

If you can't see the hole you are not using a loupe. 

Then if you see the hole, but the wheel or pallet fork fits loosely as in never finding its place , then the pivot has been snapped.

See the two purple hole? the jewel holes? The escape wheel axle or arbour goes in to 1 hole. and pallet? or fork? axle arbour goes in other.?

The teeth intermesh escape moves fork or pallet which then in turn moves balance..

But both escape and fork are loose.

Yes. But the pallets would line up with the view holes in green and I can't see anywhere else the escape wheel would go.

That's why I think the escape jewel is missing.  It should be in the hole circled by the left green circle.

Then I see no obvious place for the escape wheel in the plate.

The beauty with escapements is the fact there has been so many different solutions throughout time, take for example the escapement in a pin-lever, sometimes you have them setup like a super duper co-axial speed racer.
So in this case one really can't tell what it is or how it is configured until he posts Pictures of the complete movement, before strip  or at least Pictures of the escape Wheel and fork.

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • 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.
