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!

    • No matter what I did, I could not get the amplitude more than 240 deg. At least there is 0.2 beat error and minus 1-2 s/d.  So, probably not the happy end I would have hoped for, but still I think the watch turned out quite nice. You be the judge of that. Thank you everyone for your help!  
    • its used to lengthen or shorten the suspension spring from the front f the clock dial, this in turn will give regulation to the clock. Try inserting a pocket watch key or even better the double ended key for the clock into the small aperture on the dial at the top and turning it, you will see the suspension block either raise or lower. If it raises the clock will run faster if it lowers the clock will run slower
    • Grateful for info regarding the nature & function of the horizontal cog and the unit it's on top of in the picture. It meshes with a vertical cog (enclosed in the unit) on the arbour which is supported at its other end by the back plate of the dial unit to which it is not quite perpendicular...
    • does anyone knows what type of battery this digital Watch takes?  
    • Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?
