I got this beautiful diver from Sears (Japan 5005C -0111T) , not much known about this movement. But problem dial screws are having rust and giving hard time removing them (grooves are intact though). Used WESTERN screw loosening fluid and broke my favorite Horotec screw driver bit, still dial screws are very much adamant!

That is an Hamazawa mov't, you can search the Internet to learn about it. You can release the stem lifting the lever above it. 

It is almost certainly beyond repair but good to learn on. If you measure it is possible that it can be replaced with something else, or search for a working donor watch .

If you haven't before worked on watch movements I recommend that you start with one that works, and consider enrolling the course on watchrepairlessons.com 

Otherwise it will be much more difficult to learn expeditely.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Waggy · Posted

      Now I'm completely confused, it would appear that the epilame  is oleophobic  as @Marc states: This oleophobic  behavior can be seen as beading of the droplet (as above) which stops the oil spreading which is supported by what we observe on treated/untreated cap stones (for example), but as @VWatchie states this should make the drops more mobile, and not less mobile which is the opposite of what we want. In fact this beading and high mobility are desirable properties in things like smart phone covers, see below.  I am fairly sure that epilame doesn't make the droplets more mobile, so maybe its a strange coating with dual properties that are both oleophobic and cohesive/adhesive resulting in low mobility?? This may explain the high price??

      What is the correct way to lubricate clock mainsprings?

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      Would it be correct to say that the stronger the mainspring, the thicker the oil should be? So for a fusee mainspring, should a thick grease be used?

      Vintage pocket watches from e-bay (winding stems needed)

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I started on pocket watches as they are easier to work on than wristwatches. Many had gold cases, which is why there are so many movements for sale. I was always on the look out for cases, for as Nickelsilver says,  a 16s movement will fit any 16s case* (with tweaks to the stem). I also started hand winding mainsprings, before I had winders. It can be done without damage, but it's quite hard on the fingers.  But you can make homemade winders, see here      * some movements, eg "railroad grade", have a setting lever on the edge of the  dial at about the 1 -2 o'clock, so need a special case.

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By transporter · Posted

      Ok, on your movement plate you can see a star wheel on the right, this is the silencer, if you rotate the hands by hand through each hour you will see that eventually it acts upon the cam which moves the lever and in turn lifts the lifting lever thus stopping the chimes and strike working.  What you need to do is get your clock to 11pm and also turn the star until the cam lifts the lever and stops the action. The star wheel has a small spring that gives it a positive action between each movement, so once at 11pm you can rotate the star wheel around by hand until it stops the action at 11pm. Hope this makes sense to you.
