The base is the same in variants of the caliber, I take pictures as you turn down specially of the date mech that you are not familiar with, this will not only help during assembly it also is a gallary to refer to and show how things were, where you might come face an issue,  if a datasheet exist,  it will be found.

Tell as much as you know of the history, issues etc.

Good luck.

Unfortunately, like an idiot I didn't document during disassembly and it was too late by the time I realised it was an earlier variant. 

I've circled the area I'm having trouble with, it's where the calendar click would usually go on a 2824-2.

Thank you for that, just found that thread and looked through his disassembly photos, unfortunately it's a slightly different date change mechanism on the movement I'm working on, can't seem to find any pics online at all!

These original 2824 docs say it's part number 2556 for the date wheel, is that in place of 2555?

I can't work out how the jumper spring (part #2575) fits.

2575 fits behind 2576 to push it into date disk "detent". 

A picture worth a thousand words, isn't it.

I've got 2576 in the right place I think, I tried to fit 2575 where I've drawn in blue pen, it was tight but went in and then snapped so I've either put it in the wrong place, been too heavy handed or the part was worn as it's from a circa 1970's rotary.

I've ordered a replacement part from ebay.

I've now got a replacement spring (2575) if anybody knows how to install it?

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

      For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe

      It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
