Ulysses Nardin perpetual calendar


Recommended Posts

  • 2 months later...

Hi there, 

Hopefully you or someone can help me out.

I've bought a un33 Perpetual calendar last month in the US and when I got back home (Netherlands) unfortunately I found out that the calendar is crooked and isn't synced with the days of the month. (I'm aware on the quick set that's a work around for now not the awnser) 

Is there a repair guide or some kind of blueprint on the gear setup that I can give a watch maker? Or does anyone know where to bring it within The Netherlands? 

I've made a complete year analysis on the date chances. I can share it when you're able to help me. 

Thanks in advance! 

Kind regards 

Sven

Based on your second question I understand that you need first locate a good watchmaker. Do not worry about him being located in your country, with reliable postal service you can send it elsewhere. A name that comes to mind, has published prices, watchguy.co.uk, there was at least another one in the UL with good Internet presence but I forgot the name, I'm sure somebody can help in there.


Do not worry about locating technical guides etc, these guys beside being Masters can navigate and obtain info. The issue may be obtaining restricted parts, but no point in worrying about that now.

Hi jdm, 

Thank you so much for your quick reply. 

Unfortunately I've some bad experience with sending out costly things through the postal service and would love to find out if there's any qualified watchmaker in the Netherlands before having sleepless nights. 

I've did several enquiries and they told me that they needed technical guides on the gear stack setup. 

Thanks again! 

Regards

Sven

Understand that but just for you reference in the last 5 yerars I have received and shipped more than 300 items, in Europe and worldwide without any issue.

That means they never worked on a such piece and aren't resourceful enough  or willing to procure the information themselves, that is a good reason to avoid them. If you are not in the need of saving money I would inquiry the manufactere or official service center about this repair.

    • the problem with vintage watches and yes quartz watches can be vintage is availability of parts will be a problem. I have a link below where we can cross reference the coil and  I was hoping for more. Another problem for vintage parts are everyone on the group gets used to ordering from online. Conceivably the physical material houses that still exist out there might have the part and you'd have to reach out to them and see if anyone has one. this is because they don't list every single part that they have online with the exception of cousins where everything they do is online work just doesn't exist but the other material houses can have stuff not listed. Otherwise just set up a search on eBay and sooner or later it will possibly show up if you're lucky.   http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=SEK_6020A  
    • Hi welcome to the forum.    Enjoy
    • the bestfit book refers to Revue as wittnauer and the fingerprint we have this.
    • Maybe a little off-topic, but it still amazes me that most people (and myself before I got into this hobby) don't realise that the movement of their watch was (in most cases) not made by the name on the dial of the watch. This is especially true of many 'fashion' watches which use the cheapest of cheap movements ($4 each) which are completely out of proportion to the overall cost of the watch ($++100s). Usually the actual manufacturer is stamped somewhere inconspicuous on the movement, usually around the balance, and this is what you need to find so you can locate spare parts or servicing manuals etc. This is like buying a top of the line Rolls Royce Phantom and learning it has a BMW engine..... oh wait a minute, it does! (6.75-liter, 460-horsepower BMW V12 engine - reference)
    • I have an image of what the case is supposed to look like disassembled. then an interesting website https://www.mybulova.com/vintage-bulova-catalogs there's all sorts of interesting things here for anyone in watch repair. but for the particular subject these are the two I recommend. You can see page 7 is where I got the image of the case. Then the word apartment technical manual is really a training manual of watch repair covers wristwatches and pocket watches everybody should have a copy of this.
