Need AS 2066 setting lever help

[Lc130]

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.

Spring looks non standard. could it be interfering with something?

[Lc130]

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.

Is return bar set right, I flip it over and see if that dose it.

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.

return bar is right.  I found these pics https://watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/library?action=show_photos&wat_id=2180

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.

Winding position.

 

Quick date.

Time and Date.

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

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

[Lc130]

Yes. Thanks
