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

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Thanks, ManSkirtBrew.  I started looking for a setup like yours and ran across this.  It was about half the price of the JKA Feintaster (depending on what auction you were in), and it's a Bergeon.  I bought it because I thought the price was fair (eBay - Buy it now), and I'm a sucker for vintage tools. It also has a table, so it should be easy to use for measuring jewels. I wonder if the the contact points can be changed out. Bergeon seems to manufacture new tables and accessories for the contemporary dial version. What do you guys think of it? I'm sorry this post seems to have taken a detour. I'm new here so let me know if I should start a new topic.

      Winding pinion making

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      This is a flying cutter, usual one. The cutter itself is shown in the pictures in the first message, it is made of broken tungsten carbide drill bit. I asure that all the angles of the cutter are as they should be. I have video - little older one - that I made when onse making the same kind of winding pinion for a Poljot 2200, which is even smaller than this one. It is not easy to see in the video, but the tool rest moves about 1mm towards the object in Y direction and then returns back untill cutter is rotating. Then the spindle is rotated one tooth ahead and everything repeated untill all teeth are cut.

      After a bit further research could it possibly be an AS 970?

      FHF70 balance jewels settings

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      Latest project was a non-running ebay purchase with an FHF70 movement. I stripped and cleaned it, reassembled it, and got it running. So far so good, nothing damaged AFAIK.  I was oiling the top jewel on the balance (the one in the cock) which was a slightly unusual shock setting. I removed the spring (3 leaves) which was part of a chaton holding the cap jewel. This left the hole jewel behind which I retrieved with rodico and then lost it. I was taking it off the rodico, very gently as I thought, with tweezers, and then it just disappeared.  Fast forward a week, I got a donor movement, non-running, with the plan to just take the shock jewel that I’d lost. It was the same movement but had standard incabloc settings, and was steel rather than copper/brass.  I changed the cock and balance complete and it ran, not very well. I switched the lower jewel setting, cleaned and oiled both jewels and the replacement balance. Without the pallet fork the balance swings very nicely with a puff of air. With the fork in place, balance out, it flicks side to side nicely with power in the mainspring.  Put them together and it doesn’t run. The impulse jewel sits in the fork and it stops.      Any suggestions how I proceed? In case you didn’t follow that I have 2 FHF70 movements, nothing broken as far as I can tell, but mixing up the balance wheels and jewel settings results in a non runner.

      Oh and this almost perfect third wheel pivot and slightly set mainspring  Ah ok yes i see what you mean, good idea. I'll try that if i fluff this one up. The image isn't great quality but i like the idea though.
