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!

Thanks Marc. Very helpful.

      First movement = First broken movement

      By Terrinecold · Posted

      Hello, I am just starting to learn how to hopefully service mechanical watchs Right now I started by acquiring a bunch of tools and a first practice movement (ST36).  Since I got it last week I have been practicing disassembling and reassembling it (I don't yet have the tools and products for washing and lubrication as I estimated that the first step is the manipulation required for assembly and disassembly). To be quite honest the result have been interesting.  My first step was breaking the setting lever screw when I was trying to remove the stem (OK practice movement won't be able to set time, oh well). I did manage to mostly disassemble the movement (I kept the balance together, didn't open the barrel and didn't remove any jewels). I messed up the balance spring a bit when removing the balance (I think the impulse jewel was still in the fork or something). There was  a small tangle. I reassembled everything and surprise the movement came back to life. I disassembled it again and decided I will try to fix the hairspring.  So with lots of trouble I removed it from the balance and when trying to fix it I made more of a mess.  After reinstalling everything the balance won't oscillate (likely the spring rubbing on things, either the plate or the cock). Right now I wait for my second st36 and continue practicing while slowly buying what I need to wash parts and lubricate them.   Any of you think there is a chance I can repair that spring or find a balance complete for that movement which will cost less than the whole movement?

      Learning Watch repair maintenance

      By Terrinecold · Posted

      Hello, I am a software engineer and all day spent in front of my computer makes me want to do something more manual as a hobby. I like the mix of intricacies and basic technology of mechanical watches, the fact that such marvel could be built manually hundred of years ago fascinates me.  So I decided to combine the two and learn "watchmaking"  (between quote as I don't expect to ever be able to make a watch). My first goal is to be able to service a mechanical watch. My current status is that I am pretty good at breaking small parts in watch movements

      Nothing special to the horological world, but this is my travel watch. For whatever reason, this watch has accompanied me through airport security more often than my appendix and gall bladder. I feel as if i need this with me as much as my passport.

      Case needed a lapping machine....So I improvised - Results are amateur but promising

      Apologies for digging up an old post but I am thinking about doing the same. Can I ask the OP what medium he used on the wheel. Was it a sanding disc and polish and if so what grades. Thanks.
