I have a clock with an Urgos movement. The model number on the lower right back of the plate is UW06144A and the number to the left of that in the center is A0F2. The clock is a double dial Ramcraft named The Tennessean. The movement has a calendar function with 5 hammers that strike on the 1/4hr and Westminster chime. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

By The Way it would be nice if you could use the introduction heading so we have a little more background and some pictures of the said clock as our Crystal Ball is out of action      cheers

I hope theses pictures will do. Obviously the movement is still in the case. I don’t have the know how to remove the movement for better pictures. It’s a long story, but I have another clock like this that someone unfortunately converted to a quartz movement. I’m trying to find a movement so that I can put it back to original. Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks

A fairly modern Westminster chime with a platform escapement. If you are thinking of giving it a clean you will need a clock mainspring winder to remove each of the three springs. Doesn't look as if there is any oil in the oil sinks which can and will cause wear, so re-bushing might be needed. These modern movements are not made of good hard brass but of soft brass and the same with the steel. If you are going to strip the movement down and repair it then put it all back I can help you with that. You are going to need some tools which I can advise on what you will need.

      Waltham A-11 Hairspring and Balance assessment help needed.

      Newbie here too, but I’ve done a bit of reading around this subject. Looks like a Breguet overcoil. You’re right about A and B - A is just a minor tweak - but most damage is between B and the stud.    Pivots can be unbent, but there’s a high risk of breaking it off. Take care, and probably see how it runs before trying.    That’s really dirty. I’ve never found IPA to loosen Shellac. If you’re worried, put it in soapy water in the ultrasonic and then dip it in IPA as a quick rinse to displace the water and prevent rusting.    As for the stud - does it wedge in the angle and the screw holds it there?

      No, it is browser dependent - your browser may have a spell checker you can switch on in settings. A quick search on Google may help you if you don't use Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/12027911?hl=en-GB

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Thank you for your reply, Curare.  You offer me hope ! Yes, my experience is that crystals with a tension ring require a very heavy screw down on the crystal lift - I’ve cracked a couple.  I think I’ll use a press to install the new crystal and keep my fingers and toes crossed that I don’t mash the underlying dial and movement. Waggy - there’s no bezel on this particular omega case and the movement loads from the front (there’s a spit stem), so the only option is to directly fit the crystal into the case with the movement in place.  And what happened to you could so easily happen to me!  I have woken in my sleep, heart racing,  seeing the fragments of smashed crystal gouging the dial and mangling the hands! I’m hoping someone who has worked on an Omega Dynamic might have some direct experience and will let me know how they managed the surgery. Thanks to all. Cheers, John   Oldhippy - thanks for your comment.  So, you’d just go ahead and place the crystal using a press, movement in situ, in the case?  OK - that’s what I’ll do.   Cheers, John
