Looked in my drawer and had some different Miyota movements . The only difference is the thickness of the movement as i see . The 1M12 is thinner then the 6M12 . Took a picture of them . 1M12 from left and 6M12 in the middle .And the  6M17 has a taller hour and minut wheels . post-644-0-04818600-1427737866_thumb.jpg

Hi MarkRiley and hi for everybody.

 

Welcome to the forum. You can buy a new one at ebay nº 251899461433 for 6 GBP. There is 5 available and the seller is in UK so postage will not a big deal as for me (Portugal).

Hi Mark,

 

Just a note on using the old crown.  If it's a plated crown, be sure that no part of it is worn down to the base metal, as moisture can be absorbed through some base metal castings, leading to corrosion of the stem (I've seen this many times).  Always best to replace the crown when replacing a movement if the part is still available ... they aren't too expensive, and it's added piece of mind.

Good advise Lawson.

 

By the way, where have you been?

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

    • Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.
    • @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.
    • Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ  
    • As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time. 
    • I use Grammarly. It works really well and If English is not your first language, you will also receive help with formulations. There is a free version that covers most of my needs. It installs as a plug-in and works with all browsers and word processors.
