If it's not in beat, watches need a shake to start. As long as it's keeping time and has the 5 day reserve, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah I heard other movements do this. Was just wondering if this is by design. maybe the new escapement?

ohhh I think I got it.

The locking mechanism is in the pallet itself. The new silicone pallet indent. so the silcone escapewheel although fully charged is in a dead lock on the pallet.

because balance wheel has not started up yet.... no force to push off the lock. 

I'm NOT sure I'm right just guessing.

I noticed from dead, even winding 200+ times the watch will not start unless you give it a jump start. light tap or small shake in hand.

Oris says 215 turns to fully wind the 5 day reserve. But anyone know why this movement needs to be jump started?

I love Oris .Oooo. Have you got the new Aquis.  Extended power reserve from the twin barrel movement.  Its on my new watch list to buy. Oris have been mostly in-house. As mike has said an out of beat movement will require a start up. Personally i dont like to shake a watch. When testing a watch for movement or firing up from a stall i hold the watch face up in my palm and do a little twist with my hand, or a vertical spin and back will work just as well. Keeping the spin in the same orientation as the balance wheel.

Ah, haha. I'm surprised Oris got away with this escapement, as it was patented like 100 years ago (Cole?), then revamped by Timex at one point, and even Patek managed a patent not too long ago. The Swiss will give a patent on something that is literally the same as prior art as long as the patent is expired. A$$holes.

 

The push for longer power reserves in recent years is a gimmick, and the push to use Liga (metal printing), silicon, etc., is a step backwards.

 

It's a nice looking movement though, and if it starts with a shake and doesn't stop and keeps time then run with it.

It's possible that the watch simply needs to be cleaned and re-lubricated.

if you believe the manufacture the watch doesn't need to be serviced for a few more years there claiming it doesn't have to go back for servicing until 2030.

always interesting to read the technical points on the manufacturers webpage I wonder if this watch really will run for 10 years?

      Can someone please explain watchmaker service mark interpretation?

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      H Watch Repairers—is there is a ‘standard format’ for the service marks or codes lightly engraved inside cases of pocket watches or wristwatches?   Sometimes I can see there might be a reference to year/ month but other times am confused. I’ve included an image of the rear of a 1951 Hamilton 992B Railroad pocket watch as an example. Thank you for all information you can give, Mike

      Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike

      Seiko 6601 Tech Sheet?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here

      An intro…

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By Endeavor · Posted

      The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
