Omega 562 train gear problem.

[Danzman]

I have this old seamaster that was in rough shape. Sorta ran. I took it all apart, cleaned it, and put it back together. Ran great, but I noticed the mainspring was still gritty so I took it all back apart and replaced it. Now, for the life of me, I cannot get the train assembled. The escape wheel will not seat in the train and just falls out. The other wheels line up great and spin freely with the bridge in place.

these are the things I’ve tried.

put the entire train in a different mainplate 

Used two different train bridges.

ised two different escape wheels (both do the exact same thing.

All the jewels are clean.

this has got to be something stupid that I’m missing.

 

My next guess is to get another escape wheel.

 

any thoughts?

Hi.

To me it looks like the escape wheel has lost both of it's pivots.

The wheels all look filthy. Paul80 has said the escape wheel has lost both pivots and I agree with him.

How many watches are we dealing with here? Different escape wheels different plates implies more than one watch.

Then it as others have mentioned your missing your pivots on your escape wheel both of them you are trying really hard usually one of them goes missing.

Then cleaning method may be could use some improvements how did you clean the watch? Or watches as the case may be?
