MAIN SPRING BOUND :


Recommended Posts

Not sure i am with you there? Is the ratchet wheel hidden so you can't unwind it? Like a citizen or Baumgartner 866. Pictures could help? Or movement? 

  the click (paul) is a rachet for the rachet wheel,  part of the mainsping barrel.  correct?  the watch will not run if the main spring is (up tight).    if you want to take the balance out. "let down the main spring".    this watch has the winding stem "locked up",    can not let the spring down. i want to avoid a total tear down of this valuable watch.  SO,   if i can find the click and release it,   a total tear down MAY be avoided.  are you with me now?    cheers,   vin

The click on a 72 is next to the column wheel, there's a pin sticking up through the bridge that you can hold to let down the power.

     the  click moves and is not under pressure.  so the bind is in the area of the spring barrel or the winding gears. needs tear down.  thanks for the help, ill put it away for a while.   vin

    • @Murks the problem you have mate is most watch cases out there to buy are for Seiko NH3X, ETA 2824 and maybe Myota 8XXX movements, oh also the big ETA 6978/9 movements which the dials start around 28.5mm. You might find one on a Google search but I suspect your main chance will be buying cheap quartz ladies watches and hopefully find one of the right size and condition that is acceptable. 😞   Tom
    • The anchor pin should be perpendicular when the anchor is sat on a flat surface and if you post a close up picture of the backplate I will be able to tell you the correct torsion spring , running fast or slow is usually wrong Torsion spring. Here is a video from my YouTube channel showing how I set the beat  
    • I think if you want to play Billy big b.ollocks then you have to have something up your sleeve, anyone that knows how to fight, plays dirty. Lets face it a lot of folk that voted for Brexit just rolled uk their sleeves to say up yours EU hoping for good changes. We have idiots for leaders and probably none of them clever enough to clean the shitty stick they were given. I didnt vote, what will be will be. You've signed up to another forum !!! Why you defector , you snake in the grass, you infidel consider yourself shunned.... you.......you........you CAD  😅😅😅😅😅😅🤪
    • I voted leave too, my reasoning was the the EU is undemocratic, no elected officials. I don't regret it but I  am sad that both sides acted like petulant toddlers.  Shameful.  I'm not on other forums but if I was and left this site, would you shun me? Of course not, we aren't petulant toddlers.  
    • This is a type of tool that may be suitable to remove the bezel - though note that I'm pretty sure the watch should be face down - not face up, as in some of the photos of these tools on amazon & ebay! If you try one one of those, put the movement screws back in first to avoid accidents. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Removal-Professional-Remover-Watchmaker-Diameter/dp/B09XCH4QVN?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A296NCMMFVXSDN&th=1
