Hi to all members 

I was browsing online for technical manual for rolex 1570 movement and I came across this ' page ' which seems to be from a book 

Does anyone of you recognise it? 

Seems like a really informative book 

I'll attach an image of the page 

Thank you

Its free to sign up. I suggest you sign up and ask the person who put up that photo. Knowing Rolex it might be info only to service agents. Years ago back in the late 70's Rolex were one of the first to stop supply parts to suppliers of watch parts. You had to sell there watches in order to become an agent and then they still wanted you to send the watch back to them and charge the earth for a service.

Hi Oldhippy  that business model is still in practice today aka  SWATCH and others.  Its that modus operandi that is the decline of the independant watch repairer,  regarding the newer watches. The Older and Vintage watches are being repaired at cost by specialists  and Hobbyists, Which is a good thing as many a good watch would have been consigned to the bin.

Yes and thank goodness we have them. Due to poor health I had to pack it in around the late 80's. That's why I remember it well. Parts for watches were so easy to obtain in those days. I'm glad I switched to clocks back then.

I think technically the answer above to the question is not correct. Then because it's mentioned I will attach the file that does have the above information but it is not where the picture above came from.

my being nitpicky is because notice the above images in color. Rolex is interesting for technical information. We have PDFs of parts lists you can go to cousins for those. there are a couple of older technical documentation's usually they can be traced back to AWCI in PDF format. Typically everything in PDF is older black and white and like the file attached not very good image quality.

Then there are the physical manuals that are printed on really nice paper in color with lots of technical detail that no one has ever scanned PDFs as far as I can tell. my guess is the image above came from one of these newer color printed manuals. If you're curious about what these look like go to eBay search for Rolex technical typically it's a seller in Italy. They definitely look very nice and unfortunately they're expensive. I'm guessing as long as you're selling the original physical documents you are not violating the copyright. 

My understanding now is everything Rolex has is online supposedly cannot be copied and we will never see any of this because no one is going to risk the wrath of Rolex if they do anything not appropriate.

Thank you again JohnR725. 

With swatch group restrictions on all parts and manuals,  they're getting harder and harder to find 

Thanks again

That's a newer TSI. I got excited when I heard a PDF was available, but not of the new version... The newer one contains info on the ceramic bezel models, which are totally different from the older sapphire crystal models (i.e. 16610). I have some exlpoded views of the newer cases and other small snips of information but not the complete TSI.

If anyone ever comes across it, I am very interested in getting a copy!

      Rare Seiko 5actus Watch??!! With a lot🤪🤔😲

      By Kkramme · Posted

      Interesting issue that I just noticed: this Seiko 5actus Watch from 1977 has a calibre listing on the dial of 7019-8030R but on the case back it says 7019-8010!! Like a mis-printed coin, is this watch therefore worth a lot of money for its rarity?? 🤪😲🤔🤪

      I wish that was the case. The Aegler movements used in the early days by Wilsdorf & Davis (for brands like Rolex and Rolco) came in several sizes and without designated calibre numbers that survive.  They become a bit easier to identify during the 1920s. Below is an Aegler-Rebberg, 25.74mm in diameter. It’s from a woman’s Rolex wristwatch. Stamped Rebberg and 500 on the dial plate (but it isn’t a Rebberg 500, it’s the wrong size).  I’d be interested if anyone can identify the movement.  It is based off the Aegler Nr.1, circa 1903, but they based many many calibres of different sizes on it. The closest I have to a positive ID is the  ‘Rolex Nr.50’ circa 1917, but no dial side images or movement sizes are available in the references. There are identical looking movements in many sizes.  The 25.74mm of this movement is a particularly strange size for the era, it equates to 11.41 lignes.      Best Regards, Mark

      FHF70 balance jewels settings

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      It looks like this movement comes with a number of different shock settings. Emmywatch shows that it comes in versions with no shock settings, 'Incabloc', 'shock resist', and 'Supershock'. Perhaps the different settings position the impulse jewel/roller table in a non-ideal position relative to the pallet fork/guard pin. Are you able to check under high magnification if the pallet fork and roller table are able to operate without any interference? Just for fun I took a look and I have one FHF 70 in my collection, a West End Secundus with a non-shock protected FHF70. I had a note with the watch that said, "Movement is stamped 'FHF 70', but the FHF70 looks to have sub-seconds instead of center seconds movement (??)" but that a google search turned up both types for this movement. EDIT: I just took a look in my parts drawer and I have a few of these movements, both in center seconds and sweep seconds, but they all are non-shock protected.

      Sterling fusee info wanted.

      By markr · Posted

      Any info on this watch would help. I know that it's sterling from London but I could not match the o letter date or make out makers mark.  Is the movement maker Camberwell or Lamberwell?   If I give it a twist it will run for about ten seconds.  $45 yard sale find.  I don't think that I want to service a fusee.  What quality is it?
