A recent Garrard purchase reveals the date starts to change at midnight and then flicks back so does not actually change. Would this be wear on the date driving wheel part of which seems to be plastic or nylon. Also is the jumper the wrong way round. (Wrong side against the spring) Any help would be appreciated Thanks...

Hi most likely wear on the wheel.  The jumper looks ok, was it like that when you removed the dial.    What’s the movement make and calibre. Usually found under the balance or on the plates,   Maybe able to get a service sheet.

It is an FHF 909 movement. The jumper is exactly as I took of the dial but found a pic from 'The Movement Archive' which shows the jumper the other way round

On this picture the jumper is upside down (I mean the last picture). On the first picture the finger on the day wheel that switches the date seems short, and on the last picture it is normal.

 I have a bunch of fhf 9** series, note that fhf 905 got date disc too.

Should be careful not to lose quick date gear thats on the stem, so little easy to lose hard to find replacement for.

      B-Dip residue?

      By Geotex · Posted

      We think about these preps as "one-dips" partly because they are terrific solvents but also because the parts they are used on are often cleaner in general than many other parts. But old oils petrify, and even something like B-Dip can't clean up over-soiled parts without some extra effort, as mentioned above. There is an intermediate step during cleaning where the solvent can partially dissolve tarry residues so they have a more liquid varnish-like consistency, and that could well be what you are seeing on the coils after two washes. I wouldn't worry that your B-Dip was contaminated before you used it on this hairspring, but it I wouldn't re-use that aliquot AFTER this cleaning!

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy.. Normally if a hand wound watch does not fully wind ie just keeps winding there is an error with mainspring, either slipping around its winding arbour or the mainspring is broken.

      Most all my 404 candidates are coming from swap meets and "antiques fairs". One more $4US plus battery and elbow grease. Unnamed digital on a decent ss bracelet. Gains 10 seconds a day so not that accurate...

      I voted.for the 6.99 assuming £, which works out to $8.74US at the current exchange rate.

      £4.04 originally worked out to $5, or thereabouts accounting for currency fluctuations. Inflation calculator from 2020 (when the thread was started, though not when Andy coined the term) says we're looking at $6 currently. What currency is the 6.99 inflation adjusted figure cited in the poll? $6 may still seem restrictive, but don't forget that's part of the point. It's a challenge. Thrill of the hunt and all. Diamonds in the rough. Also, and my personal angle on the game, a fun and inexpensive way to learn watchmaking skills.
