Tudor 7960 oyster thin pendant tube issue

My neighbor brought over a 1959 Tudor  oyster thin that has a stripped pendant tube. It’s not very surprising considering this is a manual wind watch with a screw down crown but I have been unsuccessful in finding this part, well maybe I can find it but I do not know the part number. Most Rolex pendant tubes have the spline inside for installing and removing and this one does not. I don’t know if that style pendant  tube will work with this and this may be a replacement and not the original pendant tube? Or Rolex didn’t start using that style till later?.. I don’t know much about their history. If anyone could assist me in finding the correct one I would appreciate it, and I apologize if this is simple and I just don’t know the proper resource. The dimensions are 3.1 long 2.5 case side diameter and 3.8 crown side diameter. The inside tube diameter is about 1.9 and as I mentioned there is no spline. Thank you in advance for any help and I will keep looking myself,  I need to find something that will give me this part number. I’m attaching pictures for reference (The marks inside are from my easy out).

 

thank you

James

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Not easy to find this one everywhere,  so it depends where you are located. Joining it back together might be possible, i have silver soldered mild steel before even with traditional plumbers lead and its a pretty strong joint, but bere in mind this is only 1mm diameter.  The join would need to be very accurate,  it not something i have heard of anyone trying before. The part no 401 is the swiss code number and relates to watch winding stems in general

      Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I think between us we’ve worked out what’s going on. Next job is to have a proper look at this great wheel assembly, see if I can remove the clip and the friction fit pinion, give the bits a good clean, then put it back together with a bit of blue grease. I’ll also get the pallet fork under the microscope to see if it’s ok or been damaged.

      The cannon pinion (be it conventional style or what you see in this movement) should slip on its arbour so the hands can be set independently without affecting the gear train.  If there is too much friction between the cannon pinion and the second wheel, turning the hands to set them backwards can sometimes force the escape wheel teeth to overrun the pallet stones, creating the behaviour you describe. The train is running in reverse when this happens.  This can often chip the pallet stones. I’d say at least half of the watches I’ve inspected with very tight cannon pinions had chipped pallet stones. Hopefully this isn’t the case with your watch.  I’m not familiar with this movement but you need to get the friction in the cannon pinion adjusted correctly.  Hope this helps, Mark

      Pallet fork was in. I’d had the movement running ok, and only removed the balance to flip it over and install the keyless works and date mechanism. The pallet fork wasn’t locking the gear train when hand setting - it was oscillating as the escape wheel rotated. This may have been in one direction only - can’t remember.
