Enicar 1145b oscillating weigth problem

Hi

guys

Just putting a enicar sherpa back together before cleaning it and i am a piece missing. Its the part that holds the oscillating weight in place. Its not a screw and the nearest thing to it on the worksheet is called a oscillating weight nut. Cousins say there's no such part. The number on the enicar worksheet is 1145b/1506. So i am stuck does any one know the name of the part i need to attach the oscillating weight to the movement.

or another solution

Pic 1 shows the movement side. that hole is were the oscillating weight goes. ( note slight lip  just above jewel)

Pic 2 is the above shot of the attaching part of the oscillating weight as is pic 3

Pic 4 shows the underneath of the oscillating weight that goes into the hole in the movement. The reception hole is on pic also

And pic 5 i have no idea why that's there but once again its the underneath part of the oscillating weight

It appears to me you put the weight to the movement and then you insert a screw type thing that much catch the lip(the lip above the jewel in pic 1) and hold the weight in position. But what would you call it. There is no screw thread in the weight or movement side. Or you would be screwing into the jewel. Could it be the oscilating weight bolt??( which cousins don't have) I do not even have a decent pic of the part.

any advice appreciated. i am sure someone has worked on these before or come across something similar. And with a bit of luck remembers what the part is called.

cheers

poljot i searched 1143/1506. Just seen the small writing on the worksheet.

Much appreciated thanks

Right, 1143 is Manual wind, 1145b is automatic. This explains why you were not able to find that nut under 1143.

The stud is also missing. There should be a stud sticking up from the bridge. Put in from the bottom and up thru the bridge. Not sure what number it has . But check enicar document on cousisnuk on  enicar 1145 The stud is called 1496 and the nut 1506

    • These are all American movements (with the exception of the "Rubis"), and are all almost certainly "negative set" which means the stem is part of the case. So it's normal that they are all missing- they are with their cases. You will need male square bench keys to wind/disarm them. Vintagewatchstraps has a great writeup on the different systems. But basically, any American "x" size movement will fit any case for that size, possibly with some adjusting of the stem position. With Swiss movements, there is some interchangeability between calibers, usually within the same maker's range, but not really overall- there are thousands of different stems out there.
    • Hi, I'm very new to watchmaking and this is my first time posting here.  I've bought a lot of 10 vintage pocket watches size 0s from e-bay and just got them today.  Most of the balance wheels sprung quite freely and thus seemed like a worthy endeavor as a first batch for exploration.  I've just realized that none of them have any winding stems. Is there any way I could source appropriate winding stems for the movements? There seems to be assortments of various stems selling in bulk on aliexpress, but would any of them fit?  I've read on other threads that some people lathe their own stems (which is waaaay out of my current skill set, which is pretty much nil). Others say that you 'just have to try a few and see if they fit'. I would much appreciate any advice for this matter. Thanks!
    • Nice work.  In the last year, I have been servicing Accutron 218s.  I have the official Accutron hoder that provides electrical contact to the movement.  It is a pretty clever design.  There is a cut in the ring of the holder (shaped like a "C").  When in relaxed state, the holder is slightly smaller than the watch movement.  You spread the cut slightly and drop the movement in and release.  Very clean.  I have made 3D versions of this setup.  Have not explored using it generally for other movements.
    • Double Oooooo   Removal tool? Dreamed of one of these. However, Kalle on Chronoglide showed everyone my system with the pegwood. Worked a treat. Felt so chuffed to be mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTFrXjiyGKc 46:40 for the wheel removal. Mentions me at 50:00 and does the removal with the pegwood. Felt like my 15 minutes of fame.  
    • Sirius. Thank you for helping others with that information. This is why this forum is so good.
