Cheers mates!!

Im working on a Seiko 7123A, im ususally not doing quartz, they are so unpredictable I think... Or is it I dont know them good enoght.... anyway.

I have oiled all bearings, cleaned, og had to fix a little on the quick set on the date and day.

And now the quick set work, the date and day skifts when I turn th hands 24 hours.

The movment runs fine, and keeps time.

But when is shall shift date and day during the night, the movment stops around 01.30, but the second hand works.

It seems like the movment cant drag the calender work through the shift.

 

Can somebody pls help me with what the cause is??

Hi  You obiously have an issue with the day/date changer, Has the movement been dismantled and cleaned / oiled and re assembled.  What was the fix you had to do on the day/date changer mech.   I personally would remove the day/date discs and leave the gearwork intact and see what the result is if it still does the same you can discount the discs and investigate the gear work.  I have attached the seiko tech sheet for you .

I have only oiled the gear work. I had to straighten out some of the teeth in the calender wheel, but they are very worn out. And place the quick set mech right.

 I will remove the day/date discs and leave the gearwork intact and see what the result is if it still does the same..

I had this problem as well. I believe the cannon pinion is slipping when extra power needed at day date change.

It's not like the cannon pinion on Seiko automatics.

You need to tighten the wheel on the tube but be careful the wheel spokes are super fragile. 

This movement is also a PITA the date wheel has to be 100% flat and the teeth true or the date quick set will jam and the date will also not sit right in the window after changing.

    • 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.
