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!

      Without Our Forum

      Ok so there is barely any response happening . After this last attempt i think I'm just going to give up on it because very few seem genuinely interested or even bothered or worried what may happen in the future. ( if someone can set me straight I'd love to hear it ) I would think anyone into watches has heard of Roland Ranfft, how they grew to love and depend upon his site for detailed information. And not just that, he also had a view about Ebay and everyone that visited Roland's site knew exactly what he thought about Ebay, Roland's site also had a secondhand watch sale side to it.  If anyone here could have done anything to preserve his site and keep it exactly the way it was.........Would you have done something to make that happen ?  Its been pointed out to me but not in so many words  that I'm probably coming across as an insensitive p.rick, truly I'm sorry about that, i say it as it is but no malice is intended and yes clearly I'm putting my forum membership on line here. I'll happily shut up about it now .

      A see-through vintage Swatch! Service walkthrough of a ETA 2842 with Video

      Thank you so much for posting this!  Although this movement is serviceable, there are no service notes that I've been able to find.  This is a great alternative!

      Learning Watch repair maintenance

      Greetings from another electronics designer & programmer!   I suggest you get a batch of similar scrap movements from ebay - I found batches of Seikos very cheaply, I got seven of one type for £11 (or 11 Euros possibly?). Those were ladies, 4206B I believe. There are also mens movements at a slightly higher price; eg. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134723051997 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235565276549 They are cheap enough so it does not matter what gets messed up or lost & you can probably still get one or two working movements from a batch, even if some part are damaged when you get them. (I've had quite a bit from the guy in Holland, he usually has a good range of movements).

      Favourite timepiece.

      Please OH, we should all be proud of our collections what ever they are. If we can't show them off here then we can't show them anywhere. Our favourite gives us a story to tell of why we love it, that story also tells others something about ourselves. These are some of the things that make our forum and our community so amazing .

      First movement = First broken movement

      I can take pictures when I am home of what it looks like.  They will be phone picture as I don't have a camera in my microscope yet but I should be able to take a few views to give a good idea of the damage.
