Oiling Universal Cal. 800 escape wheel jewel

[handwound]

Hi,

I'm going to work on a Universal Genève with the calibre 800. The jewels of the escape wheel have endstones and I'm not quite sure how to take them apart and oil them. I hope someone here can give advice

I suggest watching this part of Mark's video on repairing a watch. It demonstrates it far better than I could explain it:

If you are struggling to remove the end stone, I suggest picking the jewel assembly up with a piece of rodico and then pulling the bottom out very carefully with tweezers. It may take a few attempts but you should get the two pieces coming apart.

Just realised the video didn't show part of the process

Thanks for the answer, but I don't have a problem with the endstone of the balance, an incabloc is quite easy to handle  the problem are the cap jewels of the escape wheel. It's not the first watch I'm working on, but I've never dealt with something like this.

Sorry, I misread the question. I have never seen anything that looks like that before. Is it possible to twist it, as you might a Novodiac system?

Edit: This seems to have some instructions: https://watchguy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Omega-540.pdf

Thanks, that was it  quite a pain to put it back in position without displacing the oil though

Hey. I have a walk through about this movement. Check this

And the cap jewel of the escape wheel can be taken of. you just need to use a tweezer and turn it just like how you deal with seiko diashock jewels and if can fall of. As for the lurbrication, you can check my walkthrough.
