Hi guys

Working on a omega 565 and i am having problems with the keyless parts.

See pic s 2 and 3 the part i am pointing at.I put the piece sticking up into the round hole in pic 1 (someone told me that).

Now if i do that the piece i am pointing at (is it the yoke corrector?) to fit the hole its in pic 2 position. But then you cannot pull winding stem out as the hole stem comes out.

If i leave it as in pic 3 position the the winding stem pulls out correctly to all 3 positions. Position 1 to wind /position 2 to move hands and position 3 to jump the date.

Except it cannot jump date as its not in the correct position. to fit the hole in the date corrector.

I know i have messed up some where ,But where?

I know there are two versions of the setting lever spring, 1 has 3 notches and the other 2 notches.

I was told 1 was for the 565 with calander and the 2 notch without calender.

Some one  please tell me what is correct and what is wrong.

The piece i am talking about is not on the work sheet  that i can see unless the part is the correcting yoke 1568.

cheers

right i see what you mean.

But can io ask ?when do you but the winding stem in?

Before you attach the calender and date indicator guard or afterwards?

also ii have found this to work with the split, stem but the all in one winding stem from cousins will not.

it works with the split stem when the female is on the inner.

Or am i just cursed and it only happens to me.

Have you ever tried them?

cheers

I always start assembling the keyless work by inserting the winding pinion+clutch, then stem and setting lever.

The pics are from when I cleaned my 565 .

I don't remember how I assembled the date corrector. I assume you do it with the stem pressed fully in.

    • Islands are interesting places to live depending upon their size and other factors. This is a bigger island and it has a bridge to get there at least on one end. It's also big enough that you don't have to go someplace else to get things typically. It can be a problem if you get a job in Seattle though. Yes I've known of people who commuted from the island to Seattle for a job and I don't quite remember how many hours it took but it took a long time. So basically islands are nice if you don't have to leave very often.
    • Thanks @JohnR725! Everything you say makes a lot of sense and is encouraging to read.
    • isn't it nice to have a decent case open or when the case doesn't want to be opened? In the case of a Rolex watch that supposed to pass specific water resistant testing you probably do need to tighten the back down. But they shouldn't be tightened so much that they risk stripping the threads out. Then the other problem that comes up is the gaskets can start to disintegrate and then getting the back off can be quite a challenge unless you have a really good tool and perhaps some penetrating oil to loosen things up. Yes really nice case marking. When I was in school we were taught to mark the cases and  the American watch and clockmakers Institute even had a? So if you joined at one time they would give you an identification number. They were explaining or giving an example of if the watches ever found in you have a unique number they can perhaps figure out the history of the watch or identify the body it's attached to for instance not that that probably comes up that often. So you got a unique number and even made a special metal stamp that you can purchase. It wasn't a super big aggressive stamp but still it left a mark in the back of the case. Then I heard from people at work on Rolex watches they were using a felt pen indelible but later on they decided that was bad because apparently the ink could release  chemicals although it seems like once it's dry that shouldn't be an issue. Then of course today was nice is you can keep computer records sealed have to mark anything at all I personally find it's best to leave no reference behind that you were even there. Especially when you have a beautiful watch that has no markings at all and now it has your scribbling all over it not good typically if there is a typical and watch repair?  a lot of minor repairs you don't need to do a complete servicing. But beyond a certain point you're going to have to take apart a lot of stuff you're going to disrupt the lubrication even if it looks perfect right now and yes you might as well just go ahead the service the whole thing. also in a watch like this where a lot of things seem to be going on the complete service would be better then you'll know exactly where you stand versus dealing with unknown mysteries for prior repair.
    • That Island looks pretty good on the pics I found. Must be nice to live there. Welcome! Are there many watchmakers over there?
    • I believe so. I thought about it the last time.
