Spoke To Soon.

So after the Tissot went together well it won't run. All seems free the balance spins freely for around 5 seconds then slows then stops.

Am I missing something???

2824-2 is the movement.

Cheers as a always.

Something is wrong . That is jamming the movement up . A screw in the wrong place? When you pick on one of the wheels and tried to spin it a little ? Does the balance spin? Are all the pivots in the jewels? Have you cleaned the mainspring?

Does this movement has a hacking lever like the ETA 2824-2  ? Pressed the crown in ?

Yes it hacks. I believe the crown is fully in.

I can move the main spring and all wheels turn freely without the pallet cock in place. I have not cleaned the main spring as I Don't have the tools. The balance spins fine and the pallets move the escape wheel for around 10-20 ticks it then slows and the stops. I'm going to strip and double check everything again.

Jewel caps are on the right way up ? the balance wheel does not touch anything ?

Didn't remove the jewels. I can't see anything but that's what it looks like. It's weird. Was very carefully to make sure all was free at all times of assemblly.

How did you do to oil them? Did you clean them? Remove and clean ;) . I always remove the jewels and clean them in a small pot or lighter fluid. As it is the part in the watch that most important.

So full strip. Oiled everything. It seems to be the barrel bridge is putting pressure on the main spring. If I loosen the scenes it seems much better. I just refitted into the case and were back to the start again !!!

Did you manage to get your 2836-2 GMT working again?

Very hard to tell via the picture but it looks like the near side of the spring is not flatly wound into the barrel. If so the spring will rub on the barrel cover & not function correctly.

Sure did. Just stripped and rebuilt. Working fine now.
