Hi guys.

Received my Tissot that I'm using as a learning tool with the above movement in it.

Looks like some water damage. One of the movement holder screws is welded in. The movement works if shaken but it won't wind via the stem.

So Sunday is the day. Sit down and take my time :) tea and biccies.

Had a little time this evening.

1st part off. Looks ok not rusty and free.

1 problem is the stem release is stuck down so I can't line up the hands and can't safely discharge the main spring. Will have to wait till it stops manually. 09d3fafa31082161133f1affd19beaf0.jpg9fb7a40cca8a098de2e5836c79f47d8f.jpg

Looks like the movement needs some TLC . Can't you hold the mainspring with a little larger screwdriver on the barrel arbor screw?  And gently tighten it and release the click spring? And then slowly discharge  the mainspring .

As you can see the movement holder screw is welded in, i have tried to lubricate it and even applied some heat but i just cant get it to budge.

The date wheel will be cleaned and re used but the dial is passed it , i noticed cousins have some Tissot dials, i also need a stem and crown, see dial below.

If someone knows what parts i need it would help me out massively.

so far not to bad for my 1st full strip and rebuild :)

James.

      Vintage pocket watches from e-bay (winding stems needed)

      By Mallard · Posted

      Hi nickelsilver, thanks for the great explanation and the links! I'll take a good look in the article.  Especially this is great news to hear! Looking through forums and youtube videos I was informed to 'fist find a case and then fit a movement for it'. But seems that's not the case for pocket watches at least?  I guess I should be looking to find some 'male square bench keys' for now. I was thinking of winding the mainspring using a screwdriver directly, but I found a thread that you've replied on, saying that it could damage the spring.

      Murks, The rate and amplitude look OK, and the amplitude should improve once the oils you have used get a chance to move bed-in, also I notice that you are using default 52 degrees for the lift angle, if you get the real lift angle (assuming it's not actually 52) this will change your amplitude - maybe higher, maybe lower. I notice that the beat error is a little high, but not crazy high. At the risk of upsetting the purists, if the balance has an adjustment arm I would go ahead and try and get this <0.3 ms, but if it does not have an adjustable arm then I would probably leave well alone. Just my opinion.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Waggy · Posted

      Maybe I'm over simplifying this and I'm a little late to the discussion, but just by my looking at oil when I use it on a treated cap jewel  the oil stays in one nice bubble, but when I don't it spreads out to the edges of the jewel. I'm not sure (but could well be wrong) but the analogy of a waxed car and rain is accurate in this case, the wax is very hydrophobic and repels the water, however, the process epilame works by is a different physical process based upon cohesion/adhesion (oleophilic) not repulsion (oleophobic)  at least as far as I have read/observed. If one were to use a oleophobic substance equivalent to wax (hydrophobic) then one would need to create a donut shape to fence in the oil, however if one used such a strategy with a epilame which is oleophilic then the oil would sit on the ring of the donut and not in the 'donut hole', exactly where you don't want it. Even if the oil is smeared then the oleophilic epilame should pull it back to the center (see diagram below). Reference For interest the chemical in epilame is 2-(PERFLUOROHEXYL) ETHYL METHACRYLATE, CAS NO: 2144-53-8

      Looks lint the teeth on the hour wheel aren't meshing with the teeth on the calendar intermediate wheel, maybe the hour wheel is sitting on top of this instead of meshing?
