So here I am back with my next 7750 problem. ?

After reassembly the auto winding system sometimes doesn't work (yes, I know it only winds in one direction). As far as I can see its about the reversing wheel. I took this pic from Lawsons walkthrough to explain (red little arrow):

If the rotor rotates clockwise sometimes only the upper wheel in the pic rotates anti-clockwise and the lower stands still so the watch doesnt wind. This happens in about 70% of the tests I did. In the other 30% the lower wheel also rotates and the watch winds. Before service the watch didnt show this behavior, 100% wind.

 

So what could it be? I have to admit I didn't use V105, but followed the oil chart with 9010. Could this cause the problem?

Cleaning in Elma 1:9 and after that in petroleum ether. Put tiny amounts of 9010 to the click bearings and the "round star" inside (that was what I found in an oiling chart). But the chart also said "very tiny amount". Maybe I applied too much?

    • Photos and dimensions of the balance may help resolve if it's the same as the Marvel.
    • Mike, You have the correct hairspring, only needed is to replace it's collet. So suitable collet is needed. I would not use the one from the new spring, as it can be backup variant. But it is not a problem to source a collet with the proper size (at least if one has piles of movements for parts).
    • Yes, the steel (and iron) solders well, but good flux is needed. This will usually mean acid type of flux, and after soldering, the part must be well washed from the flux, which is usually done with base solutions that will neutralize the acid remains. Actually, I don't know the current state of the wheel, so I am not able to give correct advice. But yes, if needed, new pinion can be cut. No matter what material the cutting wheel is, it is needed to start with soft steel (O1 is OK). After cutting the leaves of the pinion, the work must be hardened and tempered and only then the rest of the work to be done.
    • I doubt that I know enough at this stage of my journey to impart anything useful. I have the Laurel here, with (finally) the back off.  I also looked on Yahoo Auctions, there is a seller at the moment with what they've listed as a Seiko Marvel balance staff, but I don't know if it's the right part for your watch. It seems you need the whole balance anyway, and I'm not seeing any of those for sale. There is a very trashed looking Marvel from another seller that might suit as a donor unit, but no photos even with the back off, and the crystal is missing. It doesn't look promising: the dial is severely corroded, so useful internal parts might not be salvageable.  https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w1112646076 https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/o1185016360
