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

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Right now I'm making do with a similar micrometer (the one below is $45 shipped but you can find better deals) and a $20 stand. You do have to be excruciatingly careful measuring jewels, since there's no table, but if you don't have the $500 to throw around, it's a nice option.

      As  I kid, I'd watch Godzilla stomping over buildings and cars and I'd think to myself: Tokyo is a really dangerous place to live... . Cool watch!!

      Next one up an AS 554, looks like a bit more to this one. First job is to check thickness, most springs are somewhere between .3 and .4, this one measures .35, that matches in with the .4 spring steel i ordered. So for marking up a permanent marker comes in handy to colour up the steel to be marked later with a scriber once its dry. Bestfit provide the extra bit of info for the jumper spring that is missing.

      Thanks again, Marc.  Super helpful. I was wondering what the hole was for, and now it makes perfect sense. With your help and the other members here, it looks like I'm good to go with my Seitz tool set. I had to order some replacement pushers, but with those, the set is complete and in good condition. Now, I need to figure out what tool to buy to measure jewels (amongst other watch-related parts). I had my eye on the JKA Feintaster micrometers, but people get crazy bidding on them for $400-600 USD. I was thinking of just a regular digital micrometer (Mitutoyo). Thoughts?  Mahalo. Frank

      Yep, that's exactly how it should fit. The reamer shank is tapered and the socket in the spindle is also tapered so that the one centers in the other and is gripped tightly. If there is any wobble when the reamer is seated as far it will go then there is a problem. The cross hole in the spindle is to allow you the push the reamer back out again. If the reamer seated much deeper then it would limit the access for pushing it back out again. Here is one of mine for comparison.
