Longines caliber 345

Hi Gr, Sorry I am not clear what the question is ( non-native English speaker here).

Checking the picture, minute wheel seems worn and its bridge not properly seated  in place.

If misses as you try to set time, lets us see the wheel out and up close.

that's an interesting comment you seem to do quite well for a non-native speaker actually very very well.

Can someone help me on a exploded view of a Longines caliber 345

then for your question I think you're really looking for service manual that you probably aren't going to find. It conceivably exist somewhere out there but somebody would have to scan it to a PDF. it looks like the best you're going to do is a parts list which I'm attaching. On the other hand if you Google perhaps you might find somebody else on the Internet who serviced one and they might've shown were taken pictures. Who knows maybe even in this discussion group I didn't look.

doing a search online comes up with the 340 looks like it's missing the calendar but still you give me a little bit a help

    • Now thats a real man's tool press 👍. I have one just like it in my back garden for when just CANT fix a watch . Its not something i have had to do yet, @Waggybut wouldn't any type of press be able to do this ? What about an adapted chain link  extractor work or a micrometer with some sleeve pushers made to slot over the ends. @Waggy Found something that could work Scott, comes with different size pins and pushers. Only bit that would need making is a round former to support the inside of the case, a piece of stout timber, bit of oak or mdf might do it. What i like about this one is the pin is pushed in, its in a sliding sleeve so it doesn't turn while its being driven. This has 4 pin sizes and 3 stumps as well so it will come in for other applications, the pins could be adapted to take other accessories from jewelling tools. I've just ordered one myself for some play time. 
    • So I purchased this one based on my case number being listed. (Unless my case number is incorrect. The last digits are faint)
    • I have the same tool from AliExpress and get the same anxiety when when using it. But you have to admit it looks awesome on your tool shelf. Makes you look like a pro. 🤣 Looking at the photo of the Horotec tool, it looks equally flimsy. It probably comes from the same factory. I was thinking of using the pushers supplied with the tool and making a hand tool from a cranked jeweller's punch. I'll grind off the tip of the punch and drill a hole at the end to fit the pusher in. The cranked shank would be able to clear the watch case give a straight in-line axis to exert force to tap the pendant tube out. Should be robust enough to last several lifetimes. I wonder why nobody makes it. 🤔
    • It reminds me of Ukrainian eBay sellers of Russian watches. More often than not the listings include the phrase "Serviced by Master Watchmaker". Of course, they never are, and it should be expected. It's the most corrupt country in Europe, definitely on par with Russia. Today our tiny country (Sweden) sent them another $1 232 255 518 with no accountability whatsoever for how the money will be used.
    • Now that is taking it a bit far. You are going to need a bloody big workshop.
