Hi All

I'm still a beginner.  I believe this is a date quickset.  I also believe that turning the crown one way will set the hands and the date is turned the other way.  I can't get the wheels in the setting lever (described here https://www.buzzufy.com/ebooks/asmovements.pdf) to engage with that blue arrowed wheel.  That pawl (red) needs to fit a certain way but I don't know how it should be installed.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Charlie

Hi  Not familiar with this movement but the pawl indicated in red which has the stud riding on the top of the cam, try to see if it will ride in the slot on the cam and hopefully engage the wheel (blue)  worth a look

I'm not saying it's impossible but it be a rather unusual watch that turning one direction sets the hands turning the other sets the day date. If you look at your own parts list it's a three position setting. In other words all the way in is winding, middle position day date setting and third position Time setting. You'll notice at the link below there is a reference to the quick day date setting.

Your picture of everything assembled looks wrong because there things are up too high? At least from the angling of the shadowing doesn't look right. I snipped out something this park has two protruding pins one of them is critically engaging what it needs to engage in but the other pin is doing nothing? That's the part that engages the quick day date set. So you need to move that somehow over so it can engage in that part of the pin.

The top pin engages the detent spring of the cover plate.  

I think this is the same as in the attached service instruction.  You can see the bidirectional turning on the first page.  Also,  while manually turning wheels in the "set ridge rocking bar" I can see that the lower wheel engages and disengages from the train depending on direction of turn.

I had this working correctly at one point but forget how.

The pin circled in yellow on the setting lever rides in the groove circled in yellow in the setting lever jumper. You’ve got the parts in the right place but try loosening the screws holding down the setting lever jumper and positioning it properly.

The quickset works with the crown pulled out once and turning one way for day, the other for date. Another pulls sets the hands.

The AS 2066 seems to be a quircky one took some photos of the setting positions.
As you see on the third picture the day is connected to the hour wheel, so every 24 hour it flips it.
But the date has a quick leaver in the second position.
When the lever spring isn't level or tight enough this causes the quick date set to not function.

Ok, I got it to work.  It was together correctly.  HSLs pictures helped.  I didn't realize there was a third position.  It just requires an alarming amount of pull to get it into that position.

Thanks all

Charlie

You did remember to grease the setting parts because that does really help.

    • Hello all, just disassembling to service, but I can’t figure out the working of the calendar work…it’s not operational the jumper and spring are ok, but the operation of the driving wheel has me at a loss. I can’t see a cam to drive anything. Is something damaged or missing? Help please!
    • Believe the relume (not a fan) was done a long time after the damage. 
    • I can only think of some chemical reaction to reluming
    • I have a little milling attachment for my WW lathe, but very rarely use it and not for wheel and pinion cutting. For that I use a small Sixis 101 milling machine. I normally do direct dividing, but sometimes have to do an odd count and use the universal index which also fits on the Sixis.   Back in the day when I didn't have a mill, I would cut gearing on my Schaublin 102. It has a universal dividing attachment which fits the back of the spindle. Both it and the one for the Sixis are 60:1 ratio, and with the set of 4  index plates I can do almost any division. When I've had to do a strange high count prime number, I print a disc with the needed division and just place the plunger on the dot. Any position error is reduced by a factor of 60 so still plenty accurate.   The machines are a mess in the pics as I'm in the process of making a batch of barrels for a wristwatch 🙃.   This is the Sixis. The head can also be placed vertically, as can the dividing spindle.   Dividing plates. The smaller ones fit another dividing spindle.   Universal divider for the Sixis. I put it together with parts from an odd Sixis spindle that takes w20 collets, like the Schaublin 102, and a dividing attachment from a Schaublin mill.     The dividing attachment for the 102. The gear fits in place of the handwheel at the back of the headstock.   And the little milling attachment for the WW lathe. I just set it on the slide rest to illustrate the size, you can see from the dust on it it really doesn't get used much. I think only when I change bearing in the head, to kiss the collet head seat (grinding wheel still in the milling attachment).
    • I read a lot about the quality (or lack thereof) of Seiko's 4R, 6R, 8L  movements...or more specifically the lack of regulation from the factory. Especially when compared to similar priced manufactures using SW200's or ETA's. I thought I'd ask those more in the know, do the 4R's and 6R's deserve their bad reputation, is it fairly easy for someone with minimal skills (or better yet a trained watch mechanic) to dial in these movements to a more acceptable performance.    For background I spent more on a 1861 Speedy years ago, expecting that the advertised 0-15s/d  would probably perform more like 5-7s/d. In reality it's been closed to 2-4s/d.
