Nah mate, it wasn't stupid at all, if you dont know you dont know and if you dont ask you might never know. 

But anyways, that was kinda obvious 😉

You need a truing caliper tool, see Bergeon 1883-04 tool.

That tool looks like an instrument of torture from the time of the Spanish Inquisition. I'll google about this tool, thanks !

That's expensive one actually, may be you know cheaper copies of this tool?

You can pick old good quality pre owned ones for a fraction of that. Just ask to see the condition of the nibs, ideally with both truing and poising sets of nibs, the truing one have holes in the sides and concave ends to accept the conical portion of the staff pivot.

Oh gosh that's next level of watch repair art

Doesn't hurt to think next level, you already need a pair of calipers to check if the wheel is true. You could easily pick up a pair for 20 - 30 quid, I've paid much less for a pair.

5 min/day when amplitude is 280 degr is not sticky hairspring. Can we see good picture of the hairspring? What is the regulator position? Is the hairspring original to the balance, or replaced from another one?

Hi, as I remember the problem was in the hairspring position. It was slightly not parallel to the balance cock. That what my boss told me about it

We need to know if the regulator is set to the 'minimum' and still the watch is faster than normal. When I say regulator 'to the minimum', I don't mean the fine regulation screwis turned to the minimum, but the regulator  turned back right to the stud holder. That's why I asked for a photo.

I'll be able to make a photo tomorrow only

Hello everyone, do you know is there any difference between pallet fork and escapement wheel for eta 2846 (21.600) and 2824 (28.800) ? 

According to the Jules Borel interchange site they're not interchangeable, in fact the 2846 pallet fork and escape wheel appear to be unique to that caliber.

Try here.

You first select the maker, then the caliber, then the part. It will then show you all the other calibers that use that same part.

I tried it both ways, first checking the 2824 parts which turn out to be common to a lot of other calibers, but not the 2846. Then I tried the 2846 and it seems that there are no other calibers that use those parts, so I guess they are uniquie to the 2846.

Greetings everyone. This piece of junk is now showing me different indications in different  positions. I'm in one step to crash this mechanism. Please help 😄

If you know what can cause such problem, so please let me know 

 

DD amplitude is a bit lower than DU, so you might want to clean the balance jewel on the mainplate.

When vertical, you are losing about 40° amplitude, which is expected, but the line is pretty flat.

So what is your problem ?

The real test is not the timegrapher, but wearing it for several days.

    • Hi a have bunch pallets jewel here a want to replace it with a broken one how do a know witch is the entry stone or exit I know normally the exit one has a bigger locking corners ?
    • I use on of these Eclipse demagnetisers. https://www.eclipsemagnetics.com/products/workholding-systems/table-top-demagnetiser/ I got fed up with those Mickey Mouse blue things and went industrial You can pick them up on eBay from between £70 to £100. They will demagnetise anything. I mean, anything, from a hairspring to a hammer head. The table is about 5 x 6 inches. You are not going to find anything close to being this good! It will demagnetise the biggest and chunkiest of cases with the movement inside. You'll never wonder again if your demagnetiser did the job.
    • Hi Dean, The solution with the alum for the broken screw is good and is generally used by watchmakers from many years, but You have to take off ALL steel parts from the plate. In some movements, the post for the minute wheel, for example, is made of steel. Deeping partly the plate works too, but some marks may left on the line where the solution doesn't cover the plate. Heating the solution is needed to accelerate the process. With the years, a rich collection of screws gathers and then finding the needed screw is not a problem. But till then it will be helpfull if You get some assorted screws lot. The other option is making screws. This is usually for the ones with specific form and sizes that doesn't meet often. But the skill of making screws is something that will never be unnecessary
    • Haha yes you do have to reel in your bidding enthusiasm Michael. I use a " not enough time policy " to restrict myself or else known as sniper bidding. Decide what you are most prepared to bid and place it 7 seconds before the end, cross your fingers ,job done . The price paid here i would say was top  figure another day could have been $40
    • The question is did Baum and Mercier use that movement.  I know they used other ebouches. I  can't find any evidence that they didn't but that doesn't mean they didn't.
