Hello fellow watchlovers,

 

I have here a Panerai Luminor with a caliber OP X (based on ETA 6497-1). The movement runs but the firts ten minutes the hands don't move. After ten minutes it runs well all the time. My first option is the cannon pinion? Are there other suggestions? Thank you for your help.

Hi  I think close inspection of the cannon pinion/hour wheel and their drive train is called for. Has the watch been serviced/cleaned and oiled, or is this just a cursory observation in the first place.

Hello Oldhippy and watchweasol, Thanks for your answers. This is just a first observation, but I thought it is strange. I will inspect the movement further, with you answers, and I 'll let you know. Sincerely, Hans

Hello people, I promised to let you all know what the problem was with the Panerai. There was a problem with the two setting wheels. They use some kind of grease, and far too much. As I removed their bridge, the wheels came  of whit the bridge as if they where glued. So I cleaned the parts carefully and oiled them again (little D5) and put all together again. Afterwards it runs nice again. Thank you for you help.

      Bizarre state of the balance! Miyota 8200

      No need for special tools. Loosen stud screw and just push hairpsring stud out of the hole.  Regulator arm is spring circled around the setting housing, insert cutting edge of a safety blade under it,  opposit ( 180 degrees) to regu arm itself, and pry  half of the circle up, you then see how it all is made at put together. Remove the mobile stud carrier as well,  reinstal in proper order, first goes on the stud carrier, second put the regulator arm on top and press it home. Exactly as nev explained above. Trueing inner coils is done when balance complete is seperated from the cock.   The part thats bent over itself. 1-Unbend hairspring as much as you can when balance is seperated, just grab the hairspring stud in tweezers , grab hairpsring with another tweezers streighten with  strokes as you  move the second tweezers  away from the stud. 2-Move stud carrier and regulator arm as wide/ apart as they go , to provide max space which comes useful in next step. 3- Fit hairspring stud, into stud carrier hole. 4- Put balance and cock ( when attached together) back on mainplate.  5- You have enough space to grab hairspring in  tweezers to shape as you move your tweezers  away from stud.

      Probably more than you need to know in these two vids, but sharing because I found them quite interesting. 🙂

      And then the problem of the stud holder and regulator which are on the wrong sides of each other:   I am baffled as to how this will have happened?  They can't re rotated into place, the regulator pins stop the spring stud from moving past. I don't think I can remove the regulator and/or spring stud without a staking set?

      Help! Mainspring releasing power!

      Just to inform that this is not a shock protection, just end stone fixed in place by the spring.

      Could anybody work on a screw this small?

      I had the privilege to be put on secondment to RR Ansty just outside Coventry to help design and build a power station at the old Fort Dunlop site in Birmingham. The sound of those Trent engines when they fire up is something to behold.
