Sellita 200-1 pesky little problem

Hi

I am having a problem with part nos for this movement. I was putting back the minute train bridge and the screw pinged out of tweezers. This is shown in the diagram as 5462 which is the same as for the ETA 2824-it has a countersunk chamfered head. Ordered a new one but the head is 'just' too small and does not hold the bridge. Cannot for the life of me find a Sellita screw if indeed it is different. Could use a bigger head screw which will hold, but not centre the bridge.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Simon

I came across this in AliExpress recently.

Can't understand the English translation descriptions but if you could identify the missing screw from the pictures, this might be a viable solution.

Hi all and thanks for answers.

Yes to Kalanag, that is the devil. Nucejoe believe me I have tried everything but it pinged hard! And Hectorlooi, there are a couple of maybes in there and will get them just in case but I did buy 3x 5462 's from Cousins and they were just undersized.

Any other suggestions or maybe someone has a bridge and screw I can buy? Mine is the original bridge in an elabore movement but maybe its that  at fault.(had to take the keyless apart because I had undone the stem screw too much.....yes I know.

Many thanks

Simon

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
