How would you remove this kind of link please?


Recommended Posts

Hi normally with such bracelets there are four pins which push out at either side of the bracelet clasp. They can be punched out but there are cheap tools available for pressing them out. Have a look at the inside of the bracelet for arrows on the links which indicate the direction of removal.

    • Ohhh, hahaha, yea, I thought you were complaining that I didn't quote you.  Well, I'm relieved that you're happy with me and quoting ME! That's truly exciting 😉
    • Hi Arron, The hairspring looks pritty normal seen from above. May be You don't know how to fix the studd to the cock. See, this kind of studd carrier alows the studd to be placed to a different distance from the stone. So You don't need to pres the studd as much to the stone as it can, but let the spring take it's natural shape an only then tighten the screws of the carrier. Of course, if the radius of the overcoil is wrong, this will not help to make the spring stay as it should, but I doubt that You didn't do the things like as I just described. The stoppng may be caused by different reasons. Yes, it can be pivot/stones problem, and it can be hairspring too. Of course, another possible reasons exist, like balance rubbing on the center wheel... You need to make some checks to see what is wrong. I will advice first to remove all from the plate and leave only the balance assembly with it's cock. Then make free oscillations test in both horizontal positions and see what happens. Then, if the problem still there, remove the hairspring and put the balance only with the cock, then make balance turn and observe how it stops in both positions, if there is difference, and write here.
    • Finally got the mainspring in and I am pleased with these results.   The case came up pretty nicely, too. Especially that inside cover. I'm assuming it's highly polished stainless, but it's so shiny if I didn't know better I'd say it's silver. I found an antique silver fob to complete the look.   And yes, I noticed the cat hair under the crystal and popped it back off.  
    • Well well. I looked closely at the nut and it looks like it had the thin interior friction spring @LittleWatchShop mentioned but the part is broken. So that's why I can't get more friction, but the thing is still an eccentric and is helpful especially to align with an inverted stake used as a stump.
    • I am having some trouble learning how your website works.  I couldn't get any text in with the pictures.  Some of the pictures look a little brown, rusty.  Actually they are all bright steel.  The color is some artifact I didn't have time to figure out the cause.  I hadn't used my camera for several years so the battery was down.  I may have lost some settings.
