AS 2066 question


Recommended Posts

Hi All

I'm still a beginner reassembling an AS 2066.  The stem has three positions: wind, date set, and hand set.  Mainspring and bridge are in but not the click or the pallet fork.  When I pull the stem to the third position and turn the mainspring will also turn either way depending on crown turn.  Should it?  Below is the repair instructions (would love to find more like it).

Thank you

Charlie

I think it may have something to do with what they are calling the "large driving wheel & notched set wheel" which is below.  It's two gears on one pinion and both can move independently.  My guess is that the low gear (forefront) sets the hands.  While that's occurring the top gear, which is part of the train wheels, is also moving.  My guess is that should not move.  But what's to prevent it?

Their stuck in rodico.  This part is "new" from the supply house.  I tried to remove the gears on the old one and lost that clip at the end.  Now I see that the repair instructions say "cannot be disassembled, available only as a unit".  I did oil the seam between the two gears.  I suspect there's still too much friction.  If that's the cause, how do I remedy it?

Should have some friction . So do not over oil. Just a tiny bit so it's not metal to metal . As that will destroy the friction in no time . That is instead of the cannon pinion . AS 1950 and zodiac 70 and a lot of other movement use the same construction . Haven't tried it without the pallet fork. But i think it can have that effect if you try to wind it up. Rotor only turn one direction when you put it back . And the other way it will freewheel .  So put the movement back together and you should see that it works fine.

Not sure what you mean by this. 

I put the pallet fork in and there's no power in the main spring.  When I set the hands that torque goes through the wheel train and causes the pallet fork to shift back and forth.  Should this be the case?  Seems that if completely assembled that would cause a problem.

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
