AS 554 Mainspring

Recommended Posts

I need help finding a mainspring for an AS 554.  I called Cas-Ker and the one they said would fit had the wrong end.  I need a hole end 0.19 x 1.74 X 300mm.  Can anyone help me find this?  Thanks.

Cousins lists GR5285,  0.115 x 1.80 x 340

The WatchGuy extracted all the data from the GR catalogues and put them in one table :

Very useful. Thanks WatchGuy

 

Ha I was just looking in my GR catalog, that's correct. It won't have a hole end, but the normal tongue end will work fine with the hook in the barrel.

Indeed! Thanks WatchGuy! ??

I have a Poljot Alarm (my first) in the pipe and was worrying about the spring in the alarm barrel. When I checked the list I saw this:

Poljot    2612 mouv.    RS1S06430    3283-DB...
Poljot    2612 reveil    RS1S09739    5215-DB...

Jumping up and down with joy! ?

I ordered the one suggested by Cas-Ker.  I didn't order it before because it had a tongue end and I needed a hole end. If you say it will work I'll try it.  Thanks for every ones help.

    • I think that a 814/825 stem would work, there are a lot of compatible parts between these.
    • Hi everyone, I put together a Venus 178 recently, but found that the hour counter "creeps" ie. runs when the chrono is disengaged. This is the similar type of setup as the Omega 861, where the hour counter is driven off the mainspring barrel, but stopped when the chrono is disengaged by a friction spring.  Am I correct in assuming that the friction spring for the hour counter driving pinion should be dry? I am guessing that the issue will be either the spring or the driving pinion, but while the driving pinion has some wear the spring looks decent.  I've attached a couple of photos in case anyone has any tips. Thanks in advance!
    • Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."
    • Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣
    • I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.
