Oris 292 keyless works question

I am currently towards the end of re assembly of this Oris 292 movement. I dropped the ball on documenting the disassembly and am not sure what is actually happening underneath this cover plate circled in blue. I know that the three gears go together on the back of the plate. What I don't know is what engages with the spring circled in red and where does the other setting lever go. The gears are placed in more or less the position they need to be in for the cover plate to be installed on the last picture. Anyone know anything about this movement?

Was the watch transitioning between winding and setting before you started on it? It looks like that spring should have a part that sticks up and catches the hole in the rocking bar/bascule part. It does have to have a spring engage on it somewhere. Maybe the spring had the end broken off somehow?

I'm just guessing, as I don't know this movement. Good luck.

I have no idea. This watch was a non runner from eBay and both springs in the original plate were already destroyed (this is a new main plate that I ordered), so I don't really have that good of an idea of how it all goes together.  I assembled everything yesterday and engaged the spring with the post in the plate that holds the gears. It kinda worked but I don't think it was right. I still have no idea what to do with the other lever.

This additional lever is definitely not used on your movement. It looks like a duplicate. The pic shows that there is just one lever in this movement (147).

The spring 15 has to set the rocking plate 14 under tension somehow.

Here you see how the longer leg of the spring is bent downwards when the plate is mounted. Obviously it pushes the right part of the plate up:

This is the underside of the plate with the wheels installed. As you can see it has a pin (arrowed). This fits behind the spring as shown below such that the spring pushes the pin towards the setting lever.

It's not the easiest of installs because the plate covers most of the access to the spring, however, there is just enough room (shown below) to use an oiler to wedge the spring down to create a gap between the main plate and the spring for the pin to drop in to.

It might be easier to install the keyless before the mainspring bridge.

Thanks, there must have been one installed on the replacement main plate and I didn't notice.

I tried that but the operation wasn't smooth. The crown had to have pressure in a certain direction in order to have the gears of the plate engage properly during winding. I wish I could post a video of it.

The spring should push the right side of the rocker plate up enough to bring the intermediate wheel on the left side into engagement.

I will set it up again and make a video.

The mainspring bridge is on the opposite side of the plate with this movement. I don't know that it would make a difference.

Yes Kappa. They are a  pain in the arse.  Hope this helps 😆

Sorry mate i couldn't resist. I have stripped and reassembled a few like these when i first started.  This part of the movement is bloody awkward to put back together and definitely needs some photo recall. I also got stuck at this point for a good hour trying to figure out the best way. I do seem to remember i did some reassembling of this from the dial side, possibly that return spring. If you are really stuck i will see what i have that i can strip back.

That has just jogged my memory. The pin on the back side of the  gear rocker plate fits behind the long side of the spring. This then returns the plate and gears to winding position. The arkward part is getting the spring in front of the pin. The easiest way is with the gear train removed, fit the spring after the setting and winding gears are in position then reinstall the train 👍. You've probably already figured that out by now. The other lever is a duplicate of the stem setting lever.

Ok I have reassembled this part. It still doesn't feel right. Here is a video of the keyless works in action. I also believe the hairspring on the balance isn't concentric. I guess I will be reviewing marcs course on how to address this situation.

It feels both tight and rough. 

If you look at the photo that @Marc posted above, the 3 wheels should have the bevelled teeth facing up. Accidentally fitting the wheels in the wrong orientation will result in the symptoms you described.

Hmm. I looked for bevels and didn't see a difference on either side. I will look again. Thanks for the help.

What is it about the winding and setting that doesnt feel right ? Is the spring working to return the rocker plate smoothly ?

Sorry for the same questioning, further replies are not always shown for some reason until after i answer the initial question. Quite frustrating , possibly a problem with the forum site , its happened a few times now.

HectorLooi is correct one side of the teeth have a chamfer. All the gears should be the same orientation of facing downwards when the rocker plate is installed.

Alright I finally got a new ratchet wheel in as well as a donor balance. The donor balance had a broken pivot but the hairspring looked ok to me so I switched it to replace the original. I believe I am ready to re assemble this thing. I was thinking about doing a post on the reassembly but wasn't sure what specific steps would be valuable to anyone. Should I do a re assembly post?

      Glad to see it's working. Have you gone for the 40MX or 6M40 crown?

      typically when people use a demagnetizer they like to do the entire watch. You will note that the balance wheel has to be removed first as it has magnets on it. So I was urging a caution of not to demagnetize the completely assembled watch. Then some electric watches have additional magnets other than on the balance wheel itself. Another reason to be cautious with electric watches.

      I realized the OP had a 9150, the stop lever being underneath and not on top of the setting lever jumps out at you. The servicing is more or less the same though.

      interesting strategy for an electric watch which typically will have permanent magnets that really don't like to be demagnetized even if they are listed as permanent. typically I've given up with that question because it's wishful thinking that anyone would have test equipment beyond the DVM. Test equipment for electric watch would be a variable voltage power supply, some way of measuring microamp current and a DVM for resistance and voltage.   while they look almost identical at least to the casual  observer I don't think this is a 9154 which is why attached the technical up above for 9150. But to be thorough I will attach the technical for the 9154 and some images I  found on the Internet so 9150 as for contacts for the coil assembly with one home attached to a screw. than the 9154 only has three contacts the 9154 as a different coil arrangement were now it only has three terminals none of which are attached to the screw. So the image down below of this watch is a 9150. Although not the same all of the cleaning procedures testing etc. will all be identical other than the coil resistances current consumption will probably be a little bit different.   yes the joys of YouTube watch repair where nobody ever reads the tech sheet and is unaware of the impending doom that they typically never have but anyone following will. Yes you definitely want to look at the tech guide before you even begin the disassemble or it will be not a happy outcome.   if you are hoping for a quick squirt of lighter fluid and the watch would run I think you're out of luck. Electric watches typically have very little power and require the gear train to be extremely free moving in other words no sticky oil at all. in addition to when people change batteries it's very bad to get anything like old battery corrosion or anything else into an electric watch. So basically no quick fix here. 3540_ETA 9154.pdf
