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?

      Balance staff sourcing?

      By mthomas828 · Posted

      Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Thats why i asked that question earlier, what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ?  As opposed to walled within its non epilamed area . I'm not saying its right, i have no idea , just asking questions.

      thinking of where epilam should be removed did you know there was a patent that covers this? At least for the escapement I'm attaching it. GB1057607A-1 epilame.pdf

      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! 🙂👍
