New 5030.d ronda 12h fault

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, i was carrying out a ronda 5030.d module exchange and somewhere along the line i must have upset the 12h gear train as it stopped turning with the hands. 

I took the gear train apart to check it but i can see nothing obviously wrong with any of it.

Does anyone have any pointers, thank you.

You should post at least a picture of the section where you suspect the problem lies. Is not like everyone is familiar with the ins and out of that module.

A stock photo for what it's worth. (The problem is not visually apparent on my movement anyway)

I may have answered my own question however while writing this, reading the service sheet for this movement there's this section...541763660_bluecoil.PNG.6656c78b481a99a86926b9a44e0ea522.PNG

I'm not aware that i touched this coil at any point but If they feel the need to mention its particular sensitivity... and if the gear train has lost all its driving force... It would seem like a reasonable assumption that i accidentally touched, and damaged this coil with something.

The good news is the old movement had no such fault in its 12hr function, I should be able to very carefully swap these blue coils and see if that resolves it. 

I'll report back tomorrow.

Hi everyone, you won't believe how silly this is, it dawned on me in the shower...

I'm talking about a 12hr sub dial... for the stop watch...
Not a 24hr sub dial for the time keeping... there was never a problem to begin with, i just completly misunderstood what i was dealing with. ?

    • I would harden and temper (to a light blue). It's so easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes.
    • Here is the insert ring for rectangular or elliptical movements: Note that the length is the side with the stem cut out on the spreadsheet (in the picture below this is 15.15: Here is the fake pdf file, again you need to convert to .zip after download to access the FreeCAD and 3mf files.

    • as you took the mainspring out what did it look like? It's amazing how much amplitude you can get if the mainspring actually has the proper shape. last week I was doing a 12 size Hamilton and was very much surprised with the beautiful back curvature the mainspring had. Then the watch had a really nice amplitude the group would be so proud it was 350 until I dropped the lift angle down to 38 that drop the amplitude quite a bit below 300. then with the beautiful back curve it still had really nice amplitude the next day. I really wish all my mainspring's look like this as the watch had beautiful amplitude the next day. So many of the aftermarket pocketwatch Springs I see now do not have anything resembling a back curve may be a slight curve and that's about all. They still work but they just don't work as nice as a properly made spring. then Omega as all sorts of nifty technical documentation unfortunately every single corner is watermarked with where it came from who downloaded it etc. very paranoid company. On the other hand I will snip out images like from the document on recycling a mainspring barrel. for instance here's the section on what your mainspring should look like. water damaged a lot of times means rust was there rust on this watch?
