I've been doing a 1970 Oris Chronoris up that I bought wit, amogst other things, a missing minute wheel crown. I bought an Oris branded one from Cousins and relaised there was something amiss with the stem. I had a look and teh picture is as below. The stem hasn't snapped in anyway I can see it was made with that taper so my question is what type of split stem woulld fit that? You can see the winding wheel with the stub that protrudes into the tube, it can't physically fit in the otherway around but all the split stems I've seen are like a ball and socket affair. This has no flats on it. Can anyone offer any advice? Information on this watch seems really very sparse.

It's an Oris 725. Generic image below, the crown I'm having issue with it the highest, knurled on. You can see the winding wheel below it. I have a parts sheet which I've attached and the above part is 1442, you can make out that the part hasn't snapped if you zoom in on the general shape of it but I can't see anyting else that says stem or similar. The watch has a winding stem, a chrono pusher and a minute wheel/crown so there is the winding stem and no more.

      Setting lever spring

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I would harden and temper (to a light blue). It's so easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes. A search on ebay UK for "spring steel strip cs" finds plenty available in small quantites and thicknesses from 0.1mm up.  But the question is ( @nickelsilver) which "CS" number is best for watch parts ?  Also, from one of the ads : "CARBON SPRING STEEL. SIZE IS METRIC 15.00mm X 0.10mm X 304 MM  CS100 FINISH BRIGHT . HARDENED AND TEMPERD TO 480-530VPN" I've no idea about 480-530VPN. Does that mean it needs annealing before working?

      Here is the insert ring for rectangular or elliptical movements: Note that the length is the side with the stem cut out on the spreadsheet (in the picture below this is 15.15: Here is the fake pdf file, again you need to convert to .zip after download to access the FreeCAD and 3mf files.

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      as you took the mainspring out what did it look like? It's amazing how much amplitude you can get if the mainspring actually has the proper shape. last week I was doing a 12 size Hamilton and was very much surprised with the beautiful back curvature the mainspring had. Then the watch had a really nice amplitude the group would be so proud it was 350 until I dropped the lift angle down to 38 that drop the amplitude quite a bit below 300. then with the beautiful back curve it still had really nice amplitude the next day. I really wish all my mainspring's look like this as the watch had beautiful amplitude the next day. So many of the aftermarket pocketwatch Springs I see now do not have anything resembling a back curve may be a slight curve and that's about all. They still work but they just don't work as nice as a properly made spring. then Omega as all sorts of nifty technical documentation unfortunately every single corner is watermarked with where it came from who downloaded it etc. very paranoid company. On the other hand I will snip out images like from the document on recycling a mainspring barrel. for instance here's the section on what your mainspring should look like. water damaged a lot of times means rust was there rust on this watch?
