I am working on a caliber with different sized incabloc springs on upper and lower sides. I am assuming that the upper and lower descriptors are from the dial perspectve, so that the upper jewel is the dial/plate side and the lower jewel is the balance cock side. Is this right? Thanks fir answering a dumb question.

Actually, it's just the opposite.

edit to add: There is no question that is a dumb question. Ask away, we all are here to help.

 

First off , I want to second and third the dumb question response by you and Geo .  I feel that when you get to a situation where you have a question  , you're curious and interested , you're learning , and you can help others that just got into that territory .

 

Second Gotwatch , I'm glad that you posted that link . I forgot that I have it in my files and once I get on that site ,  I really start surfing it . It definitely is a good one .

I was always advised that the dumbest thing to do with any question was to not ask it.

 

Asking questions is the outward expression of an enquiring mind, and an enquiring mind is a sign of intelligence, not dumbness.

      Stem removal after fitting hands

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      So leave off the seconds. Stand the movement on its edge, its the dial edge that rests on the pad ( either rubber or cork , something that wont slip ). Use a finger of your left hand to hold the movement upright,  right hand presses the release and flicks out the stem. I do it this way so i can see what I'm under a microscope. But you could hold the movement between two fingers of your left hand, its the right that has to manipulate the stem out by pushing the release and flicking out the stem with  right ring finger nail. Sounds more complicated than it actually is. I guess you could fix a push pin to something solid, then all you need to do is push the release against the pin, leaving your right hand completely free to pull the stem out.

      Try putting everything back together and closing the back cover. I think one of the two springs has to contact the metal casing to ground the casing. So when you press the button, it will touch the contact on circuit board and close the circuit.

      Yes, the seconds hand is the longest and goes almost to the edge of the dial. I can’t quite picture it how you do it on the rubber pad

      A don't think so it leaked or damaged it because the watch itself works it just the buttons ain't working not connecting with the circuit board have taken more pictures of where the buttons makes contact with the circuit board.

      I think what peter means oh is once he has fitted the hands and  checked for  alignment if them and that they dont foul, how does he then hold the movement to remove the stem in order to case up. The dial cannot be laid on a cushion or in a movement holder as the hands will get damaged. This can be quite tricky for a beginner, what i do is  to stand the movement on edge on a rubber pad so it doesn't slip. Hold the top edge with one finger then my dominant hand uses 3 fingers to press the stem release and flick out the stem. See below peter, leave off the second hand as this is the longest and gets caught the most, then fit it once the stem is out. Alternatively place the movement in one of the cup style holders, i imagine this is what they are designed for. They only touch the very edge of the dial.
