Hello fellow enthusiasts!

 

I have a vintage newmark dive watch. 

I really love the bezel and two crowns. 

I would love love to get this baby back to it’s former glory. However, there a few issues preventing me.

Perhaps you guys / gals can help me.

The major issue is that the one piece of the stem locking system has sheared. I’m not sure what it’s called. The pin that stops the stem from pulling right out and when it should be working can be pulled and the mechanism shifts to wind. The peice that’s rests on the movement is fine, but someone has forced the stem out and snapped the pin that stops it.can anyone please advise.

Another issue is that the dial legs have also sheared off.  

The rear back plate also doesn’t press down all the way and therefore there’s too much movement within the case for the movement. 

The balance is also randomly stopping.

Please can have some advice.

Looks like an EB8805 -> https://17jewels.info/movements/e/eb/eb-8805/

It should be relatively easy to find a donor movement, as they were produced in large numbers.

I may in fact have one somewhere, but I'm at work, so I can't check at the moment.

What does the broken part actually do?

Do you have access to a 3d printer to print some sort of movementretaining ring? If not you may be able to modify one from a modern quartz watch to fit.

I presume, though the photos are unclear, that this is the jeweled version of the EB 8805, although that may not matter as I'm fairly sure the keyless work is the same on all versions, but I'll have a rummage when I get a chance and see if  I have that part in one of my donor jeweled EB 88XX movements.

Sourcing parts for these movements is generally a lot easier than with some of the higher quality stuff, simply because there were so many of them produced.

They do tend to suffer from a number of issues (in addition to the usual balance and fork problems).

The spring barrel is inclined to wear, and the strange hold down spring/bridge that keeps it in place is inclined to loose its springiness and allow things to slip. Also as you have found, the keyless work is a little fragile.

They produced a whole bunch of variants of this movement over the years, including a jump hour "digital" version - More info here -> http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&EB_8800 

... and the service sheet is here ... -> https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=25537

I greatly appreciate all of your help!!!! A real asset to this forum. 

I have had a scour through the internet to find donor movements, however i am struggling to find anything. 

I would appreciate if your could have a look in your box of bits n' bobs and will pay you for one if you can find one.

Always a pleasure to help.
I'm at work, so I'll take a look later. If I have one I'll message you here on the forum and pop it in the post.

If you look at my previous post, I added a link to the service manual.

If you check that and give me the part number(s) then that will ensure I send the right bit(s).

I believe its item, 443/1 as its local to the other keyless works items.

For donor movements look on ETSY. Look at amystevensoriginals. The lady sells mainly to the art crowd . There are all kinds of movements which she sells in lots.you may have to buy five movements to get one screw.but her prices are reasonable.

Have you gentleman IDeed the caliber and the name or a picture of the parts? 

I have an 18 liter bucket of parts and seriously doubt not having what all you need.

Please also give a full list of what you need to make it one sbipment.

Hi Andy, Not having checked my bag, I am sure I have got EB8800,  I got every part except the HS and possibly the fork. Do pins pallets break easily on those ? 

Ryan speaks of other issues too, like random stop of the balance.

Only one post office appraises for customs charges in Shiraz and that is thirty km away from this side of town where I reside in, finding all faults and all he needs saves me multiple shipments.

I think same holds true for you as well.

Regards joe

WOW! Thank you very much! That's the exact movement.

It prevents the stem from getting pulled out and its also critical component for the keyless works. 

And i dont have access to the 3d printer.

Its not an amazing watch but i like it. 

Set lever?

Just out of interesst, what does that second crown do? I've seen some Newarks with a similar solution but they had a Ronda 1223 in them and the second crown wound the alarm. But is there an alarm on the 88XX?

The second crown has no impact on the movement and only locks the rotation bezel in place 

Ah ok thank you for the answer.
I found a 1223-21 in my treasure chest but no 8800 this far.

      Chronograph Pusher Rod for EB8371-67 Snapped and Stuck in Button. Can't Unscrew.

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi. Yes I get it , the slot in the end I’d to allow you to screw the button on whilst holding the pusher shaft. To remove the pusher tube you will need a tool such as the one shown by Richard. I think Ali Express the Chinese Amazon has replicas of the Horotec system for a lot less money, how effective they are not having had to use one. But as you said the way to go is complete removal and replacement, bodging it up will  lead to a repeat failure

      30T2 adjustment of timing washers

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      One of the things that I've been bothered with lately is timekeeping? For instance a 90-year-old pocket watch what so to timekeeping was it supposed to keep? They publish railroad timekeeping but I don't know how well normal non-railroad watches were supposed to keep time. The reason why the question comes up for me is I spend a lot of time at work adjusting watches to keep really really good time  because I have to please my boss where as when the watch was made I have to wonder what kind timekeeping would've been acceptable. After all they typically didn't have timing machines 100 years ago and they were timing and six positions certainly not for the non-railroad grade watch. On the other hand I do get paid by the hour so maybe I shouldn't be concerned of how much time I Spend trying to make everything keep chronometer timekeeping almost. Citing a Delta of 40 seconds for a 90-year-old watch is quite outstanding.

      Is this pallet fork over-locking?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      That's an interesting question which I don't think I've seen explained anywhere. But I think the problem will go away just about instantaneously. In other words the  coating is really thin and it should go away almost immediately. So the problem should resolve itself extremely fast.

      Is this pallet fork over-locking?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      I experienced that different types of shellac and their ages are affected differently by IPA. Sometimes the shellac dissolves in a few seconds and sometimes several minutes are required. Nowadays I never let shellac come into contact with IPA. It's a hotly debated topic here on WRT if you search. Like John, I don't think you need to worry about the weight of the shellac, but instead that it might start rubbing against something. When I learned how to adjust pallet stones, I tried documenting my experiences in this thread. Hopefully, it can help you. I personally don't believe in the idea of abrading the epilame before oiling so I don't think you need to think or worry about it. The only time I've heard anyone mention this is Alex on the YouTube channel Watch Repair Tutorials but actually no one else. I'm not saying it's "wrong" just that I don't think it's necessary or adds anything.
