Hi everyone, newbie here! 

I've joined as I'm after a little advice if possible. 

Having lost my wonderful Dad last year, I have his Omega Geneve automatic watch. It's so very special to me. 

It had been in its box a fair while, but started working fine. It had been serviced a few years previously. 

I've been wearing it and all was well. Now, it stops and starts. It's been getting worse gradually. It'll be fine, then just stop, usually overnight. I'll adjust the time, move the watch a few times and it starts again. Then stops. 

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I'm hoping it's not terminal, that would be so sad. 

 

Thanks for any advice you may be able to give me. 

 

Sez

    • Does the lip stop the notched ring coming out caseback side ?
    • Hello everyone. My name is Gary.  I’ve been hobby fixing for just a few months now and have turned out several Seiko 7009A, 6309 and 7s26 movements with varying success.  my first movement was a tiny Cyma 424. (In at the deep end for size).  I’m currently working on a sentimental Garret ETA 2391 for my Father in law. 
    • Thanks for all the replies.  I'll investigate further.  I never noticed the lip and @Michael1962, I think I will have to form a tool to undo the ring and see what happens. I'll see if I can get some more pics.  
    • Hi John, The most important parameter of the spring is the thickness. The lenght is something that one would not consider as obligatory, as relatively big variations will not affect anything in significant way. The barrel size is related to the barrel and has nothing to do with the spring. Yes, the spring is designed to work in a barrel and the size of the barrel matters, but let this parameter be chosen by the movement manyfacturer, not by the sping manyfacturer who doesn't have idea in what kind of movement the spring will work. Sometimes the washer in which the spring arrives will be bigger than the barrel and there will be no way to just push the spring in the barrel and be happy. Well, if this is a problem for somebody, then probably He is a person with to many problems that will be verry hard to help to in any way. By the way, why You are changing the spring? Is the old one broken?
