Hi all,

Still struggling to breathe some life into my first movement. The good news is that  have this one running. The bad news is that in the process something is not right with the calendar works/winding mechanism. There are some parts that are part of the calendar works that I'm not sure how they fit! Does anyone have a schematic or diagram that might help. I've searched the internet unsuccessfully.I'm so close to getting my first watch to work, and yet so far away!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Keith

Hi Keith

Some pictures would help, maybe we can give you some tips on where to put the part.

Next time you disassemble a movement, i would suggest you take some photos unless you know the movement by the back of the your hand!

as for the schematic, caliber no alone is not going to help, what is the manufacturer. xxx cal 7115.

Thanks

Cal 7115 Trafalgar deluxe 21 jewels.

According to the link is "1/17 jewels" I'm not sure by the way it's worded whether that's in the either or? It's hard to believe that a pin-lever escapement Can be a 21 jewel version.

Then googling and searching on eBay for completed sales reveals the link below. I would say it's not the same watch as the one above as it indicates it's an automatic. But of course this comes from an eBay seller that never opened the watch up and as we know dials can be miss leading.

Of course none of this is helpful in identifying the watch because it just tells us what it's not.

Hi,

Looking in a bit more detail, it has a star stamped on it with RL inside the star. Hope that helps.

It does look very similar to the movement in the link you sent me thank you.Does anyone know of a schematic or diagram that might help with me putting the calendar works back together?

\Thank you all so much for your help.

Regards

Keith

One of the problems for people new to watch repair is the failure to grasp how many different types of watches have been made. How many different companies have been in existence and unfortunately how few diagrams actually exist.

It be really nice to give us a picture of the watch and may be a picture where the problem is.

In the absence of a picture I went to the two sites listed below and did a site search of the model number it doesn't exist?

Then I'm going to give you an assignment go to the second link scroll down the list quite a few watches isn't it? Then click on some of them notice they list variations of these. So as long as this list appears to be it should be much bigger if all the variations were included. This is why we need pictures.

Then there is the other little complication the name on the main plate and even the number of those may be the name of the number of the company who cased up the watch. Companies by movements they case them up they sometimes put their name and model number on and that is of zero helped us because we need to know who actually made the movement. Sometimes the numbers hiding under the balance wheel sometimes it's on the dial side sometimes we have to do a lot of detective work to figure that out and other times no one ever figures out who made the watch especially if they're older.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Jon · Posted

      Put the movement in a movement holder and it will be supported as you push down on the setting lever post to release the winding stem. Make sure the post is over the shoulder of the movement holder so what you are pressing down on is supported. As a general rule, hold the movement and not the movement holder. Replace the hands when the movement isn't in the case and support the centre jewel (if it has one) on a hard surface or staking block when replacing the hands to stop the jewel accidentally moving or even coming out. A dedicated movement holder with a central jewel support is even better, but pricey

      It might help us if we knew which watch like model number.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Hi, guys I have a bit of a predicament and hopefully, somebody can advise. I'm working on a Roamer MST 521 where the movement is extracted from the crystal side. I'm now at the final hurdle where I need to replace the movement back into its case but I'm not sure of the correct procedure. I still need to fit the hands but that's where the problem lies. If I insert the winding stem to test the hands for correct alignment I will need to turn the movement over to release the stem again it's the spring-loaded type and needs a small bit of force to push down but with the hands fitted, I don't think I can do this on a cushion without causing some damage to the hands and that's the last thing I want to do, this watch has already been a love-hate relationship and I'm so close to boxing this one off which I'm counting as my first major project.  The other option is to case the movement then fit the hands and hope everything is okay. I've already broken the original winding stem but managed to find a replacement, the last one in stock, so I'm a bit reluctant to keep removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

      Main spring

      By Jon · Posted

      I would go for the dearer spring. You won't need to remove the spring from the carrier ring and then use a mainspring winder to get it into the barrel, for a start. Also that spring is closer to the needed dimensions, especially the length. The length plays a part in the mainsprings strength. If you double the length you will half the force (strength) of the spring and vice-versa. A spring with 20 mm less length would be about 7% shorter, so technically would be 7% more strength, but I find halving this number is closer to real-world findings, so the spring would be about 3 to 4% more strength/force. On a mainspring that ideally kicks out 300 degrees of amplitude, a 3% increase in amplitude would be 309 degrees. Increasing or decreasing the length of the mainspring will affect the power reserve to a greater or lesser degree. It depends how much shorter or longer it is. I've attached a lesson regarding mainsprings, focussing on the size and strength of the spring within the barrel, you might find helpful. Unfortunately it is a PDF converted from a PowerPoint presentation, but only a slide was lost that was originally a video of fitting a mainspring   Lesson 5 The mainspring.pdf
