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.

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

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      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.

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

      By Mallard · Posted

      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!

      Movement holder made with 3D printer

      By LittleWatchShop · Posted

      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.

      Tool of the day.

      By rossjackson01 · Posted

      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.
