hey

I needed a center wheel for this omega. Checked with cousins and it says center wheel and cannon pinion and gives a height. It then says obsolete. so took number and ordered part from ebay and its arrived .1 problem the center wheel and the cannon pinion are as one. I can not turn the cannon pinion  or the center wheel seperately . Now because the center wheel and pinion will not part it will not go through the center hole.

Anyone had this problem before or as usual is it just me.

cheers

Obviously the canon pinion And center wheel should be able to rotate..  Somebody probably pop them together dry  and  their locked in place.  Try some penetrating oil and see if that will loosen things up so you can pull the canon pinion off carefully..  Then usually it takes a while with penetrating oil to soak EN so given a while  it's not usually instantaneous..

What was the part number?

Stuff like this doesn't always make sense? Sometimes there sized together but if that's true you should Not be able to  purchase either one separate. Sometimes there's been upgrades and modifications you see that in Omega documentation where they recommend changing components.

There is no problem at all. Do not try to rotate the cannon pinion or pull it.

Think of this scenario as "Staff Roller Removal". Support the Cannon Pinion from below and with one strike of the hammer and sub-punch force the Main Wheel Pivot out of the Cannon Pinion.

This literally takes just a few seconds.

It's a great plan except? If you look at the Cannon Pinion Way up above feel notice that it's shiny on top? This is a sealed canon pinion egg as a really nice look on the dial when hands go on and it's a nice shiny center. There is no way unless you drill a hole to put anything in.

I own several 30T2, 30, 30T2 Rg Omegas and serviced at least 20 of 30mm Omegas - not even once I saw what you described as "sealed canon pinion" on these watches. Yes, the top of the Pivot is always nicely finished (not applicable to sweep second), but it is not part of the Cannon Pinion.

My bad I based it on the picture way up above and it definitely looks nice and shiny. But based on the UK ones looks like you should Be able to drive it off. Just make sure you support the cannon pinion as close to the center wheel is possible you don't want to break any teeth off.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Chief · Posted

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      By JonC · Posted

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      Roamer Searock Crystal problem

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
