hey guys

With a lot of help from you guys i have fixed the mido 1117 pc1 and it runs lovely .Now just 1 or 2 more hurdles to jump.

As you can see in the pic the male outer winding stem fits nicely in to the inner female winding stem. 

Now all i need to know is how do i go about getting it to do the same through the case??? Is it possible?

Even if i buy the 2 stems new i will still have the same problem as far as i can see.

And has anyone refitted the glass and seals to this watch or movement before.

cheers

I set the inner( female) stem with its slot vertical, set the males stem vertical too so as to fit into female slot, as you lower the movement over it.

Another common approach is to go by the feel. set the inner vertical insert the outer into the tube, try to feel where the two mate, push in. ( sorry how else you guys say this)

this watch requires the procedure quoted above. Otherwise and I will explain below why bad things will occur.

the wording is correct here but only if it's the right type designed for this.

classically most of the time they can be pushed together and pulled apart. But always best to check before ripping the crown out as undesirable things can occur if it's the right type. I recognize the case number it took almost a year to fix this problem at work.  one of the other watchmakers at work pulled the crown out like he perceived he was supposed to do. Then when reassembling and issues and attempted to close the female part of the stem to make things tighter and it broke.

the problem with a watch like this the stem and the crown are considered one components that  cannot be purchased a more. This required waiting until eBay had a case with crown to purchase. This was relatively simple versus getting the female stem. They come in a variety of different lengths because this watch when in different case styles. Then whoever it was doing the ordering wasn't paying attention they rejected our payment and nobody noticed. But eventually variety of stems showed up and the watch finally went away.

The good news is I have pictures

      This is not rare at all, the dial code and case code don't usually match.

      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.
