3135 instant date jump mechanism


Recommended Posts

Thanks. I'm also seeing a no lubrication symbol for the corrector wheel. I see in mark's video that he lubricated the elongated hole for this wheel. Does lubrication go there? Or is there absolutely no lubrication for this component. Another question regarding reversing wheels. On a diagram I see in another thread it also shows no lubrication to be applied on the teeth or pawls whereas in mark's video he applies lubrication on the teeth. Is his procedure incorrect? What is the purpose of requiring epilame on these if no lube is applied here? Also the diagram does not show lubricating the date jumper on the part that indexes the date wheel. Should this area be lubricated like many other manufacturers do? Or is this not necessary?

    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

    • In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
