hi,i am currently working on a AS 1913.All the wheels are spinning freely.the problem is when i pull out the stem to operate the hand function everything turns,including the mainspring barrel.when i push it back in the crown wheel engages and turns everything again.when i release the click to let the power down nothing happens.i have checked the keyless works and everything moves up and down as it should.am i missing something.i have tried using a different barrel (same model) but to no avail.any ideas please.B

Sounds to me like the pallet fork is not interrupting the escape wheel.

This would mean that as you wound the watch everything would spin, and no power would be retained in the main spring, so nothing would happen when you tried to let down the main spring.

When you have the crown in the setting position the canon pinion has enough drag to also transmit torque back into the train, so once again everything would spin.

Is the stem the correct one for the movement?

Can you provide better pictures of the keyless work in both positions?

it is the right stem.tried a spare i had.same result THANKS. B.IMG_20200321_142109.thumb.jpg.913b764146f44eae7c54ff0a5d793724.jpgIMG_20200321_142100.thumb.jpg.8134047c4d0205bbcc07879ad37020d6.jpg

You have a little special construction on this movement . With a friction drive on the intermediate wheel . Instead of a normal cannon pinion. Should think that is why it moves the barrel to . Put the pallet fork in.  Or the automatic bridge. 

This wheel turns the barrel . And has a friction like a cannon pinion. IMG_20200321_142100.thumb.jpg.8134047c4d0205bbcc07879ad37020d6_LI.jpg.02fff15583a9a95805f5d576322b6a94.jpg

A normal canon pinion would move things too, but good catch. That micro canon pinion should be disassembled and greased like any canon pinion though. All things said, with pallet fork out, setting time or winding will have a similar effect if the fork is out.

      There is one Oris there at least, and if you could get a Unicorn for this price!??! 😄 It says that they don't work though, you might need to figure out what a Unicorn eats then. 😉

      Rolex Cal 1570 Balance wheel rubbing

      By Jon · Posted

      Here's a quick Gif I made to show truing the balance using callipers. This has such a slight wobble, but is within acceptable parameters. The important thing is the balance doesn't touch or rub anything when in operation. This is an Eterna Tank. Here's a pic of the balance freshly rivetted with a new staff in the movement

      I just poked an inflation calculator, and $5 in 2020 would be about $6 in 2024. Doesn't fit very neatly into any status codes, which stop at 5XX, but that's honestly somewhat arbitrary outside of a clever pun for those that dabble in such things. Back during the pandemic, I would spend a good chunk of idle time in the evenings scanning through hundreds of listings a night, and I would only land 1-2 a week max. I would often go months without finding something suitable. A very small percentage of the watches in the price range are worth pulling the trigger on for my purposes. The number floating through the thread here may be somewhat deceptive.

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Zedster · Posted

      Hi, guys I got there in the end after several attempts using a screwdriver and Rodico, I couldn't wait for the tool to arrive and was getting pretty confident handling the stud screw without it flying away. At first, I was using far too much Rodico, and then realized you only need the smallest amount inside the screw slot. Putting the cock back onto the movement also helped as it gave me more to hold onto while my shaky hand tried to align the screw wobbling away at the end of the screwdriver😁 Anyway, job done and I can move on. Thanks again for all the advice it's really appreciated for a beginner.
