It's an Adolf Shild (AS) movement, possibly any one of 1816, 1906, 1916, 2066, 2076, 2166, 2176 depending on beat rate  and other complications.

If you look under the balance wheel you will see the AS mark and the caliber number.

Hello Marc

Than you. Yes it is. I checked under the balance wheel. AS 2066 or 2068. My problem, the whole movement an dial is moving around in the case. A spacer ring is installed, but it does not work.

How can I remove the winding stem of the watch?

Hi there, worked on a few of the movements in this family - they're often used in those 1970's jump hour watches (Damas, Direct Time, etc.)

 

Pull the stem all the way out to the time setting position and then gently push down on the button (just below the stem in picture 3). There should be a centre divot where the tip of some fine tweezers will go - although I can't see one in the picture. You should then be able to withdraw the winding stem.

Regards, Jonathan

This one doesn't appear to have one. Then not all watches want to be in setting when you remove the stem some do some don't if you do it wrong the clutch wheel sometimes will twist themselves and then you have to disassemble the watch.

I've also attached the parts list in case you need it

Yes, I couldn't tell whether there was or wasn't a divot / dimple. Thought it might be the photo lighting. I did check an Imado 2066 day/date which I've just got my hands on - and that did have - hence my comment (image below).

Fair point re. Stem position. I'd assumed that disassembly was the plan...was getting ahead of myself!

Regards, Jonathan

thank you again...

it worked... the movement was "moving" or loose in the watch case. I checked the space ring. Now fits better.

I couldnt figure out how to change the day. It seems i have only 3 position on the tem. 0 = winding, 1= date, 2 = minute

Usually if there is no rapid setting for the day you have to run the hands around until you get day set. Then you set the date and then time or you can set the time first in the data doesn't really matter.  the reason you usually don't have a rapid day setting is because usually don't have to run the hands around that much it's not like it says the first any need the 20th that's a lot of turning the hands which is why it that usually has a rapid feature and if it doesn't it's a pain in the ass to run the hands around.

The crown has 3 positions.

position 1 for winding, position 2 for calendar, and position 3 for time setting.

To change the day put the crown into position 2 and turn anti-clockwise, turning clockwise changes the date.

I tried turning anti-clockwise but didnt work.... 

may be I broke something? All others functions are working...

I will try... i can't imagine this i how it should work. Or I should wait a week to set the time correct? hehe

It sounds like there may be something amiss in the keyless or calendar works. I have just checked with a 2066 in my collection and that is definitely how it should work.

An investigation may be in order 🙂

I checked my watch again and you are right. I need to move the minute hands to change the day...

thank you for checking. In my case works only by rotate the minute and houer hands... May be they have some different versions and functions.

Thank you again for your helps

      Besides locktite Nev, is there anything random that you use to fix in the pivot ?

      Thanks Hector, I do think though that the problem I am experiencing is specific to Miyota movement in general and the 6T series in particular.  When you describe putting the bridge you are talking about the train wheels.  The problem here is that under that same bridge you have the 4 train wheel, the barrel, 2 extra winding related wheels and the center sweep pinion.  I can mostly put them in their holes but 2 of those (the 4th wheel and the second pinion are completely under the plate so I can't nudge them in the right position.   I managed it with a larger Miyota 8200 series but with the smaller 6T15 it is even worse. Anyway, I'll retry tomorrow evening or this week end.  This evening is going another rock climbing day (going from very light pressure on tweezers to much more force going through the fingers, although in climbing we also want to use the absolute minimum grip which won't make us fall to save the muscle and be able to climb longer routes). to add insults to injury, if you read this thread from the start, I initially messed up the disassembly as I couldn't detach the rotor.  I normally (and I think I did this time too) put all my parts in their individual compartments in the part tray and I am doing my best to be very careful about them.  But in the week and a half it took to figure out how to detach the rotor I somehow lost the screws from the bridge.  I have a few others which will be needed later.  I know they are reference 922-600 but I couldn't find what it means in general term so I don't know if I can buy replacements or an assortment of screws and replace those 2 by others.

      How to deal with shock setting

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Something that can happen with a lyre spring, the back of the arms can bind against the shoulders of the chaton cut out where the spring is fixed in when the spring is lifted out of the way. To stop the spring bending or breaking it needs pulling forward slightly before lifting so it clears the edge of the chaton.

      One way is to file it by hand. Good file with sharp edge is needed. Another way is with the aid of milling attachment. There is one more way, thyat is really only on the lathe, but the arbor has to be attached perpendicular to the axis of the spindle. Will be easier to show pictures than to explain this. I must say 'Good night' as my wife is now awake and is roaring when I get closer to the computer...
