Hi

I'm looking for a replacement of the piece in the picture (broken as you can see) It's a setting lever spring I've not been able to find on ebay but it's listed on the Jules Borel database.

My problem is that I don't know what is the piece I need to order

This is the link for this certina KF360 http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=KF_360

what should i order :

  • SET BRIDGE
  • SET LEVER
  • SET SPRING  

or something else ?

Thanks for your help

You might have better luck looking for a donor movement.

No chance it's to old and I've already search

I'd guess spring from that photo alone, but a parts diagram or even just a photo of the movement in question would probably help.

I wouldn't say it's too old. I certainly doubt it's easy, but you're probably going to be looking for broken watches that don't necessarily go into much detail as to what's inside. This part of the hobby seems to pretty universally move at a snail's pace... I have a small pile of watches in need of random parts that I'm honestly just too lazy to spend much time tracking down. At some point, I'll probably decide to specialize, and then I can use parts from a more concentrated selection of movements to keep other movements running.

Meanwhile, I'm going to double down on the "spring". It's definitely not a lever, and I don't think I see a bridge at all in that photo. Not sure what that'd be referring to exactly if I'm being honest...

    • Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement. 
    • He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).
    • Seems like he doesn't have the micrometer cap  attached to the spindle so he can only push down but cannot pull up? If the cap screws into the spindle I guess you don't need the spring? I only have a "normal" Seitz so I really have no idea. 
    • Do you have a part number for the bearing shim lock tool?
    • Yes in my opinion the 3/4HP is plenty but it’s your decision & yes it does come with speed control but foot operation so my reason for changing to potentiometer was because my leg shakes so it was like me revving the lathe & anyway I prefer to set the speed. I & a few others that I recommended the motor to run a Pultra 10mm lathe so if you have a 6 or 8mm B & L then it will be plenty, if you have seen any of my videos you will have seen that when using a graver I run quite slow without any problems.
