I'm a long time watch lover who, after receiving yet another large bill for a watch service, decided to look into doing it myself... and here I am, all the way down the rabbit hole with my own watch station in my garden workshop, a parts bin full of micro-controllers and IoT equipment (my previous hobby) and an hour wheel on the way from Ebay after discovering my 4697 doesn't get sold with one...   Still... my NH35 will be here soon enough and my journey will begin properly! 🙂  looking forward to learning all I can !

It could have been the $600 service charge for my recently serviced IWC that prompted me as I wasn't anxious to spend that much again on the Zenith. Thought maybe I'd tackle the Zenith myself. I still have a long way to go before I'd feel safe undertaking the Zenith.

Welcome to the forum!

When you have some interesting things to show us please don't hesitate.

Any Silicon Labs micros?

Welcome to the forum.  You will find electronic enthusiasts here as well...useful for the quartz realm.

Hey, unfortunately no.  I've got a bunch of ESP32's and 8266's though 🙂

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Couldn't see it on the tech sheet , picture is a bit fuzzy though . Is that to keep the pinions pressed on Marc ?

      Doctor, If the train turns when hands setting, this means that the train is not blocked. And this is true for all kinds of trains design. The train is normally blocked by the lever. So, put the lever in place and try again. If the train turns again, search where You have placed some wheel upside down and it is not meshed with the next one in the chain. The other thing is the amount of friction that is needed to overcome when setting hands. Yes, the friction part here is in the great wheel, and it needs lubrication. If the parts are dry, then friction will arise, seizing will happen and thus risk of breaking of teeth in the train or breaking of joint wheel/pinion. I don't know this calibre, but I guess the clip is part of the friction device. But for sure it stays tilted, which is not normal. So, pay attention to it and see what is wrong there

      It most certainly should be there, but it should fit better than that. Here is what it should look like.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      This way is dangerous. The problem is that the collet is not expected to be perfect in this tool and the wheel used for the grinding is big and easy can touch the balance wheel. Can You show the bottom side of the balance wheel?

      It shouldn't be attached    The pinions look independent of each other, not in alignment,  but the clip is bothering me or have you just placed that on the pivot end?  Found a cannon pinion maintaining clip in the tech sheet, is that the disk on the end and is broken.  Whatever happened to exploded diagrams 😠
