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.

    • Hi everyone on my timegrapher it showing this do a make anymore adjustment someone let me know ?    
    • Maybe I'm over simplifying this and I'm a little late to the discussion, but just by my looking at oil when I use it on a treated cap jewel  the oil stays in one nice bubble, but when I don't it spreads out to the edges of the jewel. I'm not sure (but could well be wrong) but the analogy of a waxed car and rain is accurate in this case, the wax is very hydrophobic and repels the water, however, the process epilame works by is a different physical process based upon cohesion/adhesion (oleophilic) not repulsion (oleophobic)  at least as far as I have read/observed. If one were to use a oleophobic substance equivalent to wax (hydrophobic) then one would need to create a donut shape to fence in the oil, however if one used such a strategy with a epilame which is oleophilic then the oil would sit on the ring of the donut and not in the 'donut hole', exactly where you don't want it. Even is the oil is smeared then the oleophilic epilame should pull it back to the center (see diagram below). Reference
    • Looks lint the teeth on the hour wheel aren't meshing with the teeth on the calendar intermediate wheel, maybe the hour wheel is sitting on top of this instead of meshing?        
    • If the oil drop was freely standing on an epilame treated cap jewel it could easily slide off if you knocked the watch hard but the balance pivot keeps it in place. 
    • Latest 404 is this Baron which has a copy of a Seiko 66B movement in it, handy when I needed to find a replacement setting lever. Apart from the setting lever, crown, stem and new crystal (original was cracked) the watch is original. Finished result:
