Eta 2846-2 not running

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.

Yep, wearing is the best way to check them. But now i faced the problem that one lever from remontoir is getting displaced after I take stem out. So now I need to lift the dial and so on to put the stem back...  Anyways thanks !

That‘s why with ETA movements you should only release, pull and replace the winding stem after having pulled the crown in time setting position.

Well, greetings everyone. Thanks a lot for all the help and advices. Finally I managed to finish my work on this watch. Now it has almost perfect accuracy,320 amplitude and 0.1 ms. After 1.5 years of finding parts and cracking my head on why does this watch can't work normally, I finally did it... 

Here're are two pictures of polishing.

Hope you all will have even better New year's gifts than me and your beat error want be more than 0.1 ms!

Thanks again!

the lift angle on those machines can show different rates too, your line looks clean, inbeat,  a sticky hairspring would show a lot of 'snow' for lack of a better description ....

I had a plenty of guesses about it, I don't remember when I posted those picture after or before getting the original escape wheel, fork and balance. But all in all I can say that you should never use shitty AliExpress parts (such as barrels) they are too bad to be used 😉

    • Hello WRT members I started a project 4years ago printing straps for seiko model 5M42-0E69. This because the strap wasn’t produced anymore and i needed a strap for my father’s watch that come to my possession. I found someone who was willing to make a computer drawing and than he started printing and worked out well. To build up the metal caps you need to have some patience but it worked. 
    • Hello a nd welcome ro the forum.      Enjoy.
    • I went with GBP as you guys started it off and $4.04 adjusted for inflation.
    • Great help for me - thank you all. If the hairspring has been shortened, it must have have even tighter coils than it does now and they all look utterly concentric but nevertheless I'm not leaning further towards that explanation. For me, vibrating a new hairspring would be far from easy - I wouldn't know where to start.And if a new contrate wheel has been cut and mounted, it's been done very skilfully, leaving no obvious telltale signs. Cutting and crossing out contrate wheels takes skill, too, so a bit of a last resort. and why would the he have cut 70 teeth if the existing one had 75. The platform certainly looks original to the clock but I cannot rule out the possibility that it has been taken from a similar period one (with a different tooth count). It was produced by Soldano (who supplied Dent) and the movement is by Hollingue Freres (who worked for Drocourt) so it's a nice small one (not a miniature) but I have to say that it does look like it has been worked on by someone with a hammer and centre punch instead of a bushing tool. The history isn't know - the current owner has never seen it working. I completely dismantled it again at the weekend to make the tooth count but when I've figured it out, I'll take some photos. But for now, I think I've reached the end of the line.
