Hi Folks,

I have removed the Crown, screws and crystal from my Ebel Wave, I am just having a little trouble getting the mechanism out of the case.  It feels like there may be a release point I may need to trigger under the face.  Does anyone have any insight on this model ?

Many thanks

Paul

Hi Hector, 

Thanks for the pics.  I followed a video on youtube for a ladies model and it looks like it just drops out of the case, just as you described.  However, with this men's model, it does not do that.  I followed your steps exactly.   It seems to pivot back and forth on an axis drawn between 1 and 7 O'clock.  Have been reluctant to force it by the edge of the face, for fear of bending it.

It's evident in the first photo that the stem has been removed. But more importantly, has the bezel been removed?

I can see that the crown is missing but get no clue from the pic about the whereabouts of the stem.

The first pic does seem to have the bezel and crystal still in place however the OP states that they have removed the crystal.

If it's possible to access the edge of the face, that suggests that the bezel is out of the way.

      Even if there was a cap jewel on the dial side, the pivot will still drop off the cap jewel maker's side when the watch is turned dial down. There still needs to be end shake, the cap is mainly doing its thing when the pivot is resting down on it and then any part vertical position where it still may touch. I guess its assumed that dial up is the most frequent position hence one sided cap  jewel on the MS. That sounds feasible as the watch spends it's night that way up.

      Thanks, @Nucejoe. That's good news at least. Just when I thought I was done with the balance wheel and shock-absorbers! 😀

      My guesses.. 1. wood chips for drying parts in after the final rinse. A bit of an archaic practice these days. 2. could be French chalk for brushing cleaned clock plates with....  or maybe diamantine powder for polishing.... could also be oilstone powder, also for polishing, although the stuff that I have got is slightly greyish. 3. Blueing pan. Fill it with brass chips, place item to be blued on the chips and hold the pan over a spirit burner. 4. & 5. Pallet warmer for softening the shellac in order to adjust the pallet stones.

      Maybe not the best place for such a question... 21 jewels with the last 4 being cap jewels on either side of the escapement, but only the easily visible side of wheels 2 & 3. Does a one sided cap jewel setting provide much benefit? I get that they reduce friction by keeping the pivot on its tip rather than side, but if it can still shift away from the cap jewel since there isn't another to do the same job, is the pivot not then on its side in the jewel in pretty much any position other than DU? I'm sure it's just to get the jewel count up for marketing purposes, but still. My pre-coffee mind wants to know.

      White powder I don’t know- radium lume? The first bit of kit looks like the chips and wand for bluing screws and hands and such. what hold and control the heat perhaps…wand for holding over the flame How about borax flux for the powder?
