Hi again . 

Long time not in here a lot . But still work on watches and movements a lot. Hope you can help me out with this. last project is a Citizen alarm 3102 . Everything was okay until i found this thin little washer. Where should that be. Can't find a manual or a parts list for this movement. Thought at first it should be under the second hand wheel? But it's to large and thick. Been searching the internet for clues.  But no luck yet.

Under the other screw for holding the movement ring was a washer like this. So now i know where it should be. Movement working great with an amplitud of 275 . Had some trouble with the balance jewel. The endstone was loose inside the fitting. But manage to put it back Now it's just to figure out how to set the hands. So the alarm goes of when it should.

Like clockmakers do. Fit and set alarm hand first to a precise hour, advance time slowly, when it will sound fit time hands accordingly. No, seconds hand don't count 😄

    • This digital watch works but the buttons can't seem to be working does anyone know what could be the cause a have know idea?
    • Sorry I'm back again the reason why had   push the jewel out was someone had fitted a wrong one a couldnt get any end  and side shake with the old one ...I'm replacing it.
    • Tah-dah. A mini blow torch to harden it, then quench it and just a lighter held under a brass mainspring barrel that the part sits in to temper, Its important to wipe off any grease from fingerprints with ipa, you might be able to see i missed a bit at the top of the arm. Its a very satisfying process. I now just need to deal with the more difficult repairs, anybody any good at replacing rubbed in jewels ? 🙂
    • No I haven't tried that, I'm just thinking of the most complicated solutions 🤣   Another great idea 👍 All I need to do is hold that little bugger steady while I try and screw it in, without starting to shake, it gets the better of me sometimes but is getting less the more I do 😀  I need to order some bits from Cousins so I decoded to put this to one side until I get a balance screw holder, it may come in useful later on as well. I'm assuming it closes down enough as I don't know the diameter of a balance screw compared to the stud screw, I haven't worked on a movement with balance screws! I'll be getting the cheap one 😆
    • Finally figured out why my hands are so god damn steady. My mum 87 years old , 4 weeks after her stroke and has a macular hole in both eyes, she wiped the floor with me and my lad at a kids stacking chairs toy game. Here she in rehab placing the last chair into position, bloody ' Supergreatgreatgran'  i hope I'm half as fit at her age 🙂
