Your welcome.  I general oiling one movement is the same as oiling other movements, unless it's something special.  Light oil for fast moving parts and heavier oil for slow moving parts. 

thanks again. i have a list that i have used in the past. also been reading info on oil on here to get the latest info..

AS984 / 1002 is a nice basic sub-seconds time only manual wind movement so about as uncomplicated as it gets. You're highly unlikely to find a service manual for it but all you need to do is to follow a logical system of work, work slowly, don't force anything, and take pictures of every step of the strip down as reference for when you put it back together. Also make sure you let down the power before you start, and it's good practice to remove the balance cock and balance and put it somewhere safe at the start of the works, that way it's less likely to be damaged.

One thing to note (and I have just checked this on a 984 in my parts stash) is that both the crown wheel screw and the ratchet wheel screw are reverse (left hand) threaded, so turn clockwise to undo. Otherwise there should be no real surprises.

I have attached a copy of the BHI guide to lubrication which should be more than adequate for your movement and is a good starting point for most clocks and watches in the absence of anything more specific.

If you get stuck on anything just ask on here.

Let me know how you get on! I have (I think) the same movement in a Timor WWW that's next in line on my bench. I think as Marc says, hopefully pretty straighforward. Have you folloed Mark's courses on watchfix.com? I think with the knowledge there, you should be good to go.

I have watched a quite a few of his videos. Also worked on Seiko auto's. Citizen & walthan. Not done any for a year or two. But when I have time. Would like to do more!

      Unknown mechanism

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      The problem is that this movements were not produced with the modern level of standartization, there for parts from one didn't fit well to another, even if they may look the same. May be it doesn't concern the winding stems, but yet there are not spare parts for such movements in supply companies, not even clear calibre identification possible. And where calibre identification  is possible, there are no Ronda numbers for the balance staff or the winding stem for this calibers in the data bases.

      Black coating on shock jewel metal housing

      By ColinC · Posted

      That black stuff - I had similar things happen with evaporust!  In that case I understand the evaporust eats the iron oxide away without hurting the metal but it can leave behind a layer of carbon which was in the steel that got oxidised. I spent ages trying to perfect a cleaning regime with various different stages in jars in an ultrasonic bath. In the end I switched to washing all but the balance and pallet fork in IPA and gently brushing it with a small artists brush.  I would estimate that I have found an extra 20º of amplitude doing this! It also takes me no longer than waiting hanging over a tank to move stuff to the next jar If it is really bad then I have used the IPA as a prewash and go through my old routine

      I thought is FHF. Sounds good to make winding stem by myself but I am not in watchmaking on this level. 😄

      Long Case winding

      By dnhb · Posted

      At a friend's request, I've obtained a key for her long case clock which has been silent for some years. On winding it, the weight only rises a foot or so from the floor - & is not visible above the lower panelled section - before the key meets significant resistance. However it then runs quite happily for a day or so by which time the weight is again on the floor. I haven't had the chance to examine the movement but would be grateful for suggestions as to what might be happening here.
