NH36 and 7S26 oscillating weight interchangable?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I have an skx013 and my oscillating weight is making a rattling noise when I shake it vertically. I screwed the screw that holds the oscillating weight but looks like the ball bearing is the problem.
Therefore, I went to see an oscillating weight and it costs 32$ which is a bit too much. So, I found a 22$ NH36 movement and wanted to know if I can use its oscillating weight in the 7s26c of my skx013?

In short, is the oscillating weight interchangeable between 7s26 and 4r35(NH36)?

If there is any other way to change only the ball bearing please let me know.

Thank you!

First of all, as of often answered to the same query, no need to worry about the noise, as long the watch winds all is good. Then you can get another rotor for much less on Ebay, no need to buy a brand new mov't. Or PM me you address and I will send one for free.

Thanks a lot for your reply!
The watch winds okay as of now, but I have it as a gift, and would like to keep it in a good shape. Therefore, I wanna fix this.
Also, I don't want to just swap the 7s26 to another movement later, but rather keep the original. But with this noise of damaged bearings in the oscillating weight I am afraid that it can damage the movement in the long run.

I PM'ed you my address, I would appreciate that a lot.

Thanks again!

    • I was pleased to pick up a selection of some tools on ebay (v cheap 🤣), and they've just arrived,  I've been looking for a crystal press for a while, and this one is ideal But in the selection is this thing - what is it for?  (it's about 3" long) Something to do with stem tubes?  
    • You'll have to strip it back anyway.
    • I think I've heard that more than from just Alex. That doesn't make it right though, but I'm convinced i saw some literature diagram explaining why to do that. There must be good info here in the archives, I'll have to have a dig around. 
    • That will mean dismantling the gear train, which with 5 pivots to align was a pain. Probably going to have to though. I'm convinced it's something to do with the great wheel. 
    • As far as I know, the only time an epilame treatment has potential drawbacks is when something is rubbing on the treated part w/o lubrication in between creating abrasive dust. That is, I don't believe in the method of "running the watch to make a groove through it first in the pallet stones where the lubrication is then placed". So, I think the rule would be; do not epilame treat parts where rubbing is going on without lubrication. Other than that I don't think we have anything to worry about. That said, I'm not an expert, and I'm always happy to learn more. Has any other repairer than Alex suggested or explained the "making-a-groove" method? My impression is that it's just something he constructed in his mind. I have not perceived it as a generally practiced method. Again, I could be wrong!
