Hi

I have a Hamilton RailRoad series automatic watch which is also hand wind. This watch is a few years old and as I'm winding the mainspring using the crown and stem, the weighted rotor for the auto wind feature spins wildly as I'm winding. Any Advice?

Fault in auto device module.

Remove the rotor.

Remove and disassemble the winder module to see the fault.

If no part seem damaged, its the reversers, you might get by with a clean, lube and epilame.

Good luck

  Welcome @Boggie46. I would encourage you to take a little time to learn the terminology of watch parts, e.g., "winder rod" is the "stem." It will help us to help you. I am curious as to how you removed the center seconds wheel.

  Put the arbor in the barrel in the correct direction and look at the hook of the arbor. It will show You the direction of the spring.

  I do believe in one of the manuals I saw for the 2892 DD module, you could unscrew it from the 2892, and submerge the whole thing in your cleaning machine as a single unit. I havent tried that yet, but when I was having issues with my Omega 1140, I got lucky and found a brand new one in Poland, and ordered that. So, if someone needs parts from an 1140 Omega/2892, I have the chronograph module in my parts bin, although its disassembled.

  They showed up! It's a perfect fit. Can't wait to populate it and try it out.

  Lubed up, back together (minus the one screw), and I'd say not a bad result! Going to give it a day or two to run in while I clean up the case and regulate it again, but off to a good start.
