First thing to learn Johnts59 is you cannot over wind a clock or a watch. The springs will only ever wind up to their fullest. If it still doesn't go them there is something more wrong with it. Normally its dirty or wear or in most cases both. As others have said photos will give us a lot of help in helping and advising you.

      Omega Split stem issue (will not go back in)

      By Rustinbox · Posted

      Bringing this old thread back to life, as I have similar problem. I did follow this advice, but while inserting a male stem (crown side) and just pushed it to the female part, and the fork (female side) of the stem has broken. What is the right way? Push the stem part so it widens the gap and fits in? Why it was then receiving side got broken? Old metal? It is a vintage watch from late 60s.    or the outer part should be inserted somehow from the side (slipping to the gap), but I don’t have space there for this manipulation. The watch is Orient Fineness monocoque case.   thank you!

      Winding pinion making

      Thats insane Nev that you cut those tiny pinion teeth with a cutter you designed and made.

      AS 554 from 1930

      I certainly do Razz. Ive just started work on this AS554, interestingly enough it had a paper dial made from a postcard , look at the brand name on the dial, very curious.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep, so we got a 10 1/2  ligne movement, thats the starting point now these bad boys books should hopefully get us across the finishing line . Next we need a good clear picture of that rocking bar, the setting lever and the setting lever spring. I've already got an idea what it might be.
