Pendant tube and Fittings tool - spline tool

Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm trying to replace a pusher set, because the screw was broken. It's a 40 mm case housing a valjoux 7733 movement, a micro brand chronograph.

Is the diameter of pendant tube thread standard and will it fit the hole in the case, if I order "screw in chrono pushers" from Cousins?

How do I find the correct spine tool? I don't understand the "internal diameters" defined in each spline tools. It says the tools are made for tubes with external spline. 

I know that the external diameter of the "star head" of the tube is around 3.3-3.4 mm. Can somebody define "spline" in this case. 

Alternatively, I can maybe replace just the screw if the thread and length matches. 

Best regards

Khan

Spline is the gear type cogs on the outside of the pushers. If it's internal it should be on the inside of the tube. Think you need something like this. https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/pendant-tube-chronograph-fitting-removing

Could the "internal spline " measurements be the measurement  of the tool itself, ie the internal measurement of the tool will fit the external size of the pusher?

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • 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.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
