Hello. I was changing nh36 movement from one case to another, and quickset day/date change stop working. On second position stem is moving freely without engaging day/date wheels. Tried with another stem, same thing. Opened the watch and realize that the problem is somewhere where is shown on picture. What can I do?

Tear down the keyless works, and see what's out of place. Reassemble correctly.

I don't know about the NH36 movement (I don't think it's one of them, but I've never pulled one out without tearing it all the way down), but some movements are designed such that the crown must be in some position or another before you remove it lest you find yourself in this exact situation.

Welcome to WRT forum.

If the picture was clea,r someone might see what part in the keyless has jumped out of place.

Have you googled for NH36 datasheet?

Yes, but I'm not sure if it's the keyless because small wheels engage but they don't have enough power to change the date. Looks like something is out of place or it's broken.

 Whatever the fault is, a clear close up of the keyless helps spot it.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Klassiker · Posted

      I agree with @JohnR725. Oil on an epilamed surface is essentially the same as water on a waxed surface. The same physical properties are at work (surface tension vs. adhesion).

      Without Our Forum

      I think we all get a lot out of this group, and it has been pivotal in my development by the sharing of knowledge, experience and learning from more seasoned experts such as @JohnR725 and others (you know who you are!) as well as fellow novices. I think that having a backup communication plan in reserve so that if there is a future problem just makes good sense. I don't think anyone is trying to undermine the forum, but if something unthinkable happens, like the Ranfft website for example, then it would be good if those who are willing can still keep in contact. Speaking personally, and I know I risk a charge of heresy, it would be good if Mark could be a little more visible in this forum, and maybe give any insight from time to time on the future/progress of forum and instructional videos etc. even if its just to confirm the status quo. I appreciate he is a busy man with a full time job, but so are most of the rest of us and to post a few lines every now and then shouldn't be too much to ask to reassure the restless villagers. Best outcome for me would be a message saying something along the lines of: "Hi guys, all good, no planned changes... enjoy the forum, will message again next month!" Just my two cents.

      A nice looking watch !! Did you try 9010, instead of the 9415, on the pallet jewels / escape wheel? And if you did, did you notice a difference?

      Knocked out another 404 last night...when you are in the zone! This watch was a non-runner which I picked up as part of a lot of 8 watches, so works out to be $3.12 per watch. Before:   And the finished watch, new crown and stem and the crystal was cracked so was replaced. I also replaced the mainspring as the original was the old steel type spiral and very 'set' - all else is original: The Movement was a AS 1686, but in reading around a little the ACCRO watch company were sued for their use of the five point crown on their Jacques Pere range as it resembled Rolex, see below: ACCRO then reverted to just ACCRO on their watches - I have done some sniffing around the internet and haven't seen another example of ACCRO and the crown together on a dial so maybe I have something unusual, or maybe I was looking in the wrong places 🙂.

      This watch was damaged when I got it. I didn't break the escape wheel pivot, and I bodged a fix with epoxy to see if I could get it running. I'm not yet ready to get into lathe work, or shellacking jewels, and may never be. But I'm learning plenty with each watch I tackle.
