I serviced this ETA 2824, everything looked great on the timegrapher -

315 amp dial up 0 beat error

310 amp dial down 0 beat error

295 amp crown down 0.1 beat error

I left it running for around five hours, came back to it and it had stopped dead. Gave it a little shake and no sign of life, so did the following checks

  1.  Double checked the hand clearance to each other and the glass all looked fine.
  2. Checked the mainspring still had tension by letting the power down a little and it did. 
  3. Gave the balance a little nudge, moves feely
  4. Removed the balance, checked the pallet fork moves side to side, it doesn't.
  5. Removed pallet fork to check escape wheel and train, some movement and other times jammed up.
  6. Tried winding the crown with ratchet wheel still installed, no movement of gear triain.

I took 2 videos, one with the barrel in and one out. I'm really confused how it can be running absolutely perfectly and then just crap out??

What do you guys think? Issue in the gear train? Wheel needs replacing? Operator error :wacko:?

As you turned the gears, ratchet wheel etc,  you stayed within an interval turning  clock&anticlock, what if a faulty tooth is located outside that interval, will you turn a full turn of the barrel.

Except from a broken tooth you might check where the impulse jewel is in a rested position, sometimes the jewel might get loose, I even encounterd the hole roller getting loose. 
By what I see in the video the drive train looks good.

I made another video turning the barrel a full turn, seems to get stuck at one point.

so either the fourth wheel or barrel damaged?

 

 

On another note I just got an email from youtube saying my first video has been reported and they've chosen to remove it, that's disappointing. No idea what rule I broke.

Probably all those naked watch parts. ;) (I saw the video and I cannot begin to imagine what was reported.)

I hope it was a glitch in the system and not actually reported

I would check all, a piece of loose metal inside may destroy your watch.

Hey! Your 3rd video has been removed too! :thumbsd:

What was the original condition of this movement? I had a Seiko recently that had a similar problem. The guys here at WRT think it might have been a Mumbai special. It had a whole bunch of teeth missing but the 2nd wheel was in perfect condition.

Most probably caused by improper technique when opening the mainspring barrel.

      Oh nice. I have a similar wedge style stump for my staking tool, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      By joelcarvajal · Posted

      Thank you all for the replies!  Very informative! True enough, the Gamsol took some time to evaporate and does leave a residue. So not all naphtha are created equal!  Need to find alternatives then. i was able to try Hexane recommended by Alex and it seems great.  I wonder what the cons are?

      Yeah, I saw that in the tech sheet but I don't see how it can be adequately cleaned with the friction pinion still in place. I've accidentally pulled the arbor right out of the wheel once when I used a presto tool to try and remove it. Mark shows how he does it with the Platax tool. Those are a little too pricey for me so I got one of these from Aliexpress and I just push down on the arbor with the end of my brass tweezers. That usually gets it most of the way out and then I just grab the wheel with one hand the and the friction pinion with the other and gently rotate them until it pops off. Probably not the best way but it's seemed to work for me so far.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Thanks, Jon Sounds like a plan. Obviously I'll have the face on so do you think gripping with the holder will create any problems, but I will check in the morning to see how feasible it is but I assume it only needs to be lightly held. As for holding the movement instead of the holder won't be possible in this scenario as one hand will be puling on the stem while the other pushes the spring down. That was my initial concern is how the hell can I do this with only one pair of hands. All the other times I've had to remove the stem hasn't been a problem, apart from the force required to release the stem from the setting lever, but now I need to fit the face and hands its sent me into panic mode. If it had the screw type release things would be a lot simpler but that's life 😀   Another thing I will need to consider is once the dial and hands are fitted and the movement is sitting in the case I will need to turn it over to put the case screws in. I saw a vid on Wristwatch revival where he lightly fitted the crystal and bezel so he could turn it over, is this the only option or is there another method?

      Main spring

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Hi Jon, do You think that relation spring torque - amplitude is linear? I would rather guess that the amplitude should be proportional to the square of the torque. I had once idea to check it, but still haven't.
