I have a question regarding this watch that lacks a crown and it also seems as if the movement is a bit loose inside the case.
Do you know if it should be a spacer in the form of a ring with threads or is it held in place only with the crown stem?

Hi without pictures of the movement as it lies in the case it is difficult imagine,  it is not wise to assume anything . we also would like to know the make of the movement and its caliber number ( located on the top plate , rotor or under the balance wheel).   Armed with this information forum members will be able to help.

 The case diameter is big, so there must be some sort of spacer to keep the movement stay put. Usually its a spring or a dust cover that not only keeps the movement centered, but secures it vertically.

As said a pic of other side with the back removed helps.

yup, the movement is held in place once you install the stem and crown.

When I shake the watch up and down, I can hear the movement moves inside the case. Are you sure that it´s as it should be? And as you can see on the last picture, there is threads inside the case, so that was the reason why I thought there should be a threaded ring there in order to keep the movement down.

I would hazzard a guess that the treads are for the case back and also that there is a movement ring missing that holds the movement in place when the back is screwed on.  Do you have the make and caliber number so we may be able to find a sheet or other tech information regards this watch.

It´s an  eta 2784 movement. I´ve heard from other that this case also is same case as  both the Tag Heuer and Candino use.

 A metal ring around the movement which runs over the stem ( 2nd pic) is in place.

One of the two large screws which fastens the movement to the ring, might be loose or missing. The large screw right in front where the crown attaches, is in place ( 2nd pic)

There isn´t any extra ring, it´s all in one piece and I´ve found that it right that the threads is for the lid so maybe it´s just missing a thin "gasket" in order to keep it steady.

Another problem is that it also miss the threaded neck and a threaded crown wit stem. Anyone here who know where I can buy these parts on the web?

Yes there is. it has covered the stem slot.

Stem is suppose be at 3 Oclock, its at 4 in the pic and you can see the ring coverring over the stem slot.

A rubber ring also drops in the groove in bezel, but thats to watertight the back plate.

Two 1.5 cm  slots cut in the ring. insert a screw driver into the slot of the ring, widen the gap a bit, you are adjusting for the height.   this would compensate for the slack.

OK. I understand. Thanks for the tip.

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By ColinC · Posted

      How long had it been without any wind before you first put it on the timegrapher?  Perhaps there was some debris / old lubricant that loosened up while you were waiting to do the 24 hour reading? I recently serviced a Seiko 6319 that immediately after service was absolutely horrible on the timegrapher - 24 hours later (without me doing anything) it was rock solid!  I was a little surprised by this (as I have seen improvements in amplitude after letting it run in but never a watch going from useless to great!). I was suspicious that some dirt must still be in there so I took it apart and cleaned and lubcricated it again and had exactly the same experience - snow storm that after some hours turned into a nice straigh line with good amplitude 🤷‍♂️

      Full plate watch, Suitable tool for adjusting & testing pallet stones?

      By mbwatch · Posted

      Yes, I know it was able to run before just enough that everything supposed to be affixed with shellac could fall out. I won't get back to work on this watch for several days at least, but one thing you mentioned about the banking pin adjustments being intended for fork horn clearance got me wondering.... The last adjustment I made to the entry stone yesterday did not solve the problem when the balance is installed. The escape teeth can't quite clear the stone when the balance swings. But I thought it was going to work because manually snapping the fork back and forth did allow the escape wheel to advance almost all the time. I wonder if there's another issue with the impulse jewel, that I have to shellac again anyway. I am going to measure the fork slot and the jewel because I am curious if it is the right size or possibly narrower than it should be. My thinking is if the horn clearance is too great maybe it is not getting enough impulse to clear the escape tooth. But pushing the fork with a tool can move it far enough to clear the escape wheel tooth.  I'll see later in the week. I didn't expect a big challenge from this watch because it ticked for 5 minutes before stopping without shellac. As always I was way wrong.
