29C UT


EdB

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

 

Started a service on my next movement and I am hoping someone has a link for a service / parts sheet for the 29C UT movement. This will be my first movement with the date complication. I currently have the movement disassembled, Pegged out, ran through the cleaning machine and ready for reassembly. I have looked on the Raniff site and found very limited information, Cousins UK didn't have any information either.

So I have a question in regards to replacing the end stones on the pallet fork, I'm not sure what this system is. I was able to remove it using the same process as the Inca bloc setting. But for the life of me I can't get it back in the movement. I pinged it away a couple of time but was able to locate the retention spring. It is the type that looks like a U with a tab at the bottom and the two legs curve out. There in no cut away like with some other end stone settings which is making this a task to say the least. Any help / advise would be appreciated.

Sanity check your movement against pics of the Seiko 66 but Universal Time was an offshoot of Seiko. If yours has a date then it would be the Seiko 6602B variant specifically ... and Cousins has that download.

Thank you I'll have a look again on Cousins with the Seiko number.

Please post pictures of both the spring and the setting so to be sure what is that you have. 

However it could be done with two tweezers, one holding the U and tab in place, the other easing the legs in, one at the time.

Watchmaker, 

Just off the Cousins site and there is no download for the 66028, the search brings up two omega downloads.

So the first photo is the setting that I am trying to replace the end stone into, the second is the end stone and retainer, the third picture shows the setting complete on the other side of the mainplate. These are for the escape wheel.

Hi @EdB. It's here: https://www.cousinsuk.com/PDF/categories/3111_Seiko 6602B.pdf

[That's a 'B' at the end of the movement ID; you misread as an '8'].

To support the statement you're dealing with a Seiko based movement that's a Seiko Diafix shock spring you have there! With that knowledge if you do a web search, or look on YouTube, you'll find info on how to deal with one.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
