Hey

Anyone know were i may get a center wheel for this movement it number 96 206 tried everywere i know  on net

Or has anyone got a spare one lying around to swap.

5 days its taken me to find out it had a deformed tooth on the center wheel that stops the damn thing every now and again. I can now strip and rebuild this thing in the dark now.

Thought it may be worth an ask .

cheers

When I had a similar problem sourcing a replacement balance assembly for this Camy Silver Cloud with the FHF ST 96 movement......

I bought a complete running watch from an eBay seller in India and 'stole' the balance assembly out of it for the Camy.....

Bottom line is that I have the rest of the movement spare (original Camy balance with FUBAR'ed hair spring currently in place)......

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds. 
    • Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!
    • Happy to have helped, great way to start the day with a win! 🥳
    • Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor. 
    • I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂
