Longines quartz

Recommended Posts

Don't do much work on quartz watches but I purchased a Longines recently as a box of bits. I have assembled it and got it running but I am stuck on one part. Before I post any pictures I wanted to check if anyone is familiar with the ETA 954 111 movement. The part I am having problems with is fittng the date jumper. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. Yes it is very similar. The second pic shows the plate securing the date jumper spring. When the screw is secured (by the 9) it pushes the top of the jumper spring away from the wheel which I'm sure should be flat. Am I missing a shim or something to stop this?

Thanks watchweasol. Thats very useful. It appears I might have a piece missing or the wrong screw to secure the date jumper as when it is tight it bends  part 53 080 away from part 33 030 whichstops the watch and causes disengagement of the date driving wheel.

    • 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
