I have this seiko bellmatic with calibre 4006, the watch is not running. I disassembled it and found that the escape wheel doesn't stay vertical (meaning that the jewel is not holding it in place, so it pivots on it's base), so, as far as I can understand, it's not making contact with the hands wheels and so the watch is not running. However there's also something else, the watch winds but it doesn't unwind, I don't understand why. Shouldn't a malfunction like that of the escape wheel also make the watch unwind very fast?

Imagine it moves on the base like this -> V where the base of the v is the pivot and the V describes the pivotal movement in circles ... So it's the upper part that is not held by the jewel on the upper plate.

At the apex of the V or inverted V for the top there should be a tiny spike That is the pivot... Or not if its broken, Very hard to see as its tiny you will need quite high magnification to see it!

      Nice interesting diver Razz, i have a sheffield dress watch, different movement altogether. Could be a wrong motion works part, how does the setting feel before fitting the cannon pinion, clutch and intermediate wheel meshing ok ?  The less traditional setting design could be suspect, the second wheel has a slip clutch assembly, that most likely needs looking at. LA is 42 ° Razz Tbh i  much prefer to call the complete unit the lever, then use the seperate names for all of its components. Such as guard pin, fork, fork horns, fork slot, lever arm, pallets , pallet arms, pallet slot, pallet stones. I suppose pallet fork is the combination of the two opposite ends that make up the lever, its also called the anchor which is descriptive of its appearance.  Its a pretty basic 1930s  swiss lever movement H and yes Nev was meaning the pallet fork.

      The pallet fork should really be called a lever, English lever, Swiss lever etc but most people including myself call it a pallet fork.

      Seiko 6309a diver crown replacement

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      Seiko have case numbers, I  can't see it on your photos.  If you can find that we can look for a genuine crown.  If not, you need to measure the diameter of the stem, the distance between the lugs and the depth of the lugs.  The case number will be something like this.

      I'm not sure what kind of movement this is, but I'm curious to know if you're using the word "lever" as a synonym for "pallet fork"?

      Actually kind of rough, maybe munute wheel pinion problems? Is the 2.73mm canion oinion which seems rarer and not availble on Cousins UK. The seconds hand works and suprising nice amplitude but don't know the lift angle and BE this one says 17 j but is a pin pallet as well. Cap jewels on the escape and drive train pivots. Interestingly in has both water proof and shock resistant on the caseback and dial. Puts this around 1969 or '70? The double bezel that works independently is cool has the pi symbol on each. Wonder if it can be used like a slide rule ir something...
