hey

How do i find out what glass will fit this case.

Case number is 198.0062.159.

Entered that in google and cousins and nothing.

The glass on it has a small chip in corner.

Also what does megasonic and the initials ST and MD Mean in context to this watch?

any help as always much appreciated.

cheers

You need a Omega part number PZ5260 they come with either a steel tension ring or a gold one :

There not cheap.

The tuning fork movements where  patented by Bulova so any watch company producing them  had to do so under license  9162 is the calibre number of the Ebauche (Basic movement) supplied to Omega which they would have then finished to their own specification.

What are these numbers on the movement.

Also says something about bulove is that the tuning fork part?

these are equivalent to the number ithat you'd find other the balance wheel. It's the model number of the movement. Which should then at the above link that wls1971 gave you ESA 9162.

the reason it has the reference to Bulova is that the Swiss attempted to get around Bulova's patent on their tuning fork watch they made basically an entirely new watch but somewhere they still had to give credit to Bulova for something.

Then it seemed like we had just discuss this watch and it wasn't that long ago. I have a link if you scroll down the conversation you'll find the service manual and some other helpful stuff. Unless you're familiar with tuning fork watches it's not a recommended beginners watch as there are almost no parts available at all unless you're really lucky. they also need some electronic test equipment that you probably don't have either.

and its 1973 besides that nowt.

Hi, I scrolled all the way down but could not see the service manual etc link you referred to. Can you direct me to it please?

Thanks.

      Can someone please explain watchmaker service mark interpretation?

      By Waggy · Posted

      All I do is use a fine marker (sharpie) to put the service date on the back cover, this way it can be removed with some IPA and does no permanent damage to the watch. I'm in two minds about the whole service marking thing, sometimes it's good/bad to see the markings on the watch case back as you know it's been worked on and vice versa. However, if I took my car in for a service and the mechanic scratched some code into the housing of my engine I wouldn't be too impressed. Hence, I think my sharpie solution is a reasonable compromise.

      Movement holder made with 3D printer

      By Waggy · Posted

      hmmmm.... maybe there is a way to skin that cat 🙀 let me think on it... unless anyone else has any ideas? I left the opening in the side of the base and ring quite large to maybe allow you to grip the crown, but appreciate this may not always be possible, especially for small movements where the crown will not extend past the outer wall of the holder. I noticed this also, but after using the holder for a while I noticed that the ring/holder began to wear into shape (rough edges/bumps worn off) and the size became closer to the desired movement OD. Maybe with some trial and error we could add 0.5 mm (??) to the movement OD to allow for this initial bedding-in?

      Vintage pocket watches from e-bay (winding stems needed)

      By Mallard · Posted

      Hi nickelsilver, thanks for the great explanation and the links! I'll take a good look in the article.  Especially this is great news to hear! Looking through forums and youtube videos I was informed to 'fist find a case and then fit a movement for it'. But seems that's not the case for pocket watches at least?  I guess I should be looking to find some 'male square bench keys' for now. I was thinking of winding the mainspring using a screwdriver directly, but I found a thread that you've replied on, saying that it could damage the spring.

      Murks, The rate and amplitude look OK, and the amplitude should improve once the oils you have used get a chance to move bed-in, also I notice that you are using default 52 degrees for the lift angle, if you get the real lift angle (assuming it's not actually 52) this will change your amplitude - maybe higher, maybe lower. I notice that the beat error is a little high, but not crazy high. At the risk of upsetting the purists, if the balance has an adjustment arm I would go ahead and try and get this <0.3 ms, but if it does not have an adjustable arm then I would probably leave well alone. Just my opinion.
