GSW cal 50 click


Recommended Posts

Hi

any one know the shape of the click on a GSW cal 50

It looks like it should be hammer shaped.I cannot get any info on the click.

I ask as i ordered a click and spring off cousins ( and they say its the correct one)

It comes with a screw as well.but i will be damned if i see how it supposed to fit.

cheers

As I said before I think what you got there is a click from a caliber 40-41 movement , the little nobb on the backside of it shold go into a grove in the movement I can't find on yours.. 
The 50 if my mind isn't all to hazy has a click like the 230. I have to look in my treassure chest if I got a watch like this.
It's not easy to see from the Ranfft pictures but on this site you might get an idea.

When you enhance the picture you can see the click underneath the ratchet wheel positioned in the grooves you can see on your movement too.

Hi Gary After studying the picture of the 230 and yours the 50 the click supplied is more likly to fit the 230 as I can see no provision for it on the 50. I would hazzard a guess that yours has a horse shoe type spring. More research needed.    cheers

    • These are all American movements (with the exception of the "Rubis"), and are all almost certainly "negative set" which means the stem is part of the case. So it's normal that they are all missing- they are with their cases. You will need male square bench keys to wind/disarm them. Vintagewatchstraps has a great writeup on the different systems. But basically, any American "x" size movement will fit any case for that size, possibly with some adjusting of the stem position. With Swiss movements, there is some interchangeability between calibers, usually within the same maker's range, but not really overall- there are thousands of different stems out there.
    • Hi, I'm very new to watchmaking and this is my first time posting here.  I've bought a lot of 10 vintage pocket watches size 0s from e-bay and just got them today.  Most of the balance wheels sprung quite freely and thus seemed like a worthy endeavor as a first batch for exploration.  I've just realized that none of them have any winding stems. Is there any way I could source appropriate winding stems for the movements? There seems to be assortments of various stems selling in bulk on aliexpress, but would any of them fit?  I've read on other threads that some people lathe their own stems (which is waaaay out of my current skill set, which is pretty much nil). Others say that you 'just have to try a few and see if they fit'. I would much appreciate any advice for this matter. Thanks!
    • Nice work.  In the last year, I have been servicing Accutron 218s.  I have the official Accutron hoder that provides electrical contact to the movement.  It is a pretty clever design.  There is a cut in the ring of the holder (shaped like a "C").  When in relaxed state, the holder is slightly smaller than the watch movement.  You spread the cut slightly and drop the movement in and release.  Very clean.  I have made 3D versions of this setup.  Have not explored using it generally for other movements.
    • Double Oooooo   Removal tool? Dreamed of one of these. However, Kalle on Chronoglide showed everyone my system with the pegwood. Worked a treat. Felt so chuffed to be mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTFrXjiyGKc 46:40 for the wheel removal. Mentions me at 50:00 and does the removal with the pegwood. Felt like my 15 minutes of fame.  
    • Sirius. Thank you for helping others with that information. This is why this forum is so good.
