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.

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.

      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
