As Movement

Hi Mark

Just watched your excellent how to video on the AS movement, I had to repair the winding mechanism following a drop. When replacing the parts I have lost the calendar jumper spring! Would / could you please advise me as to where I can get a spring for the calender jumper.

Cheers

AS1691 has quite a lot of parts available. You can order from Cousins or PM GleaveandcoLuke (a member here, http://www.gleaveandco.com/) and he will help you.

 

If the crown wheel screw is broken then you can replace the barrel bridge - these are cheap, about £10, you can get an assorted pack of left thread screws no problem, and the calendar jumper springs are about a few quid but you may need to buy a pack of five.

I've spent many a happy hour on my hands and knees searching for a missing screw/ click spring or other small part.

I have a nice big magnet for that, or try a long magnetic knife rack. Just demagnetise the part after you find it.

    • 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
