Hi guys,

Just wondering has any one else had problems with the winding stems for the landeron 48. I presume it goes were the pic shows it.

But its fine until you come to pull the crown and stem to move hands and  its not long enough to stay inside the tube  at other end.IMG_20201010_192031.thumb.jpg.d0f7240849c73c4708f749302d5b4742.jpg

Or i thought maybe it the setting lever but i have tried 2 of them there identical.

So take a look at the pics please and tell me were its wrong. .Please

This is the second winder i have had and both are the same so i presume i am at error.

No it is a 401 it even looks like it and the 2 i have are identical?

It is hard to get the wrong stem but just in case you want to compare yours to a correct one I post a picture of one.

The grove holding the setting lever pin has to be wide and deep enough.

Very often I found the front bushing damaged that accepts the pivot.
Either by mounting a wrong (too long) stem or deliberately damaged to accept such wrong stem.

Some damages and repair:

    • So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
    • When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

    • Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon      
    • According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
