2824-2

Use a screwdriver instead of a pointy tweezer to depress the setting lever as this will prevent you pushing it too far. Pushing too far can cause the yoke to slip over the clutch wheel and then you need to do some dismantling to resolve that.

I changed a canon pinion and a winding pinion on a 2804, and I only removed the barrel bridge. After removing the stem and the pinion I had trouble putting them back. So the next time I did that I pulled the stem out from position 2. This way, when putting all back, the winding pinion just stayed on the yoke instead of me having to push the yoke back for the winding pinion to find it's place (I hope you know what I mean).

 

 

p.s. @Mark, any more videos on the way? It's been more than a month since the last one. Personally I check your youtube channel at least twice a day.

    • Hi everyone on my timegrapher it showing this do a make anymore adjustment someone let me know ?    
    • Maybe I'm over simplifying this and I'm a little late to the discussion, but just by my looking at oil when I use it on a treated cap jewel  the oil stays in one nice bubble, but when I don't it spreads out to the edges of the jewel. I'm not sure (but could well be wrong) but the analogy of a waxed car and rain is accurate in this case, the wax is very hydrophobic and repels the water, however, the process epilame works by is a different physical process based upon cohesion/adhesion (oleophilic) not repulsion (oleophobic)  at least as far as I have read/observed. If one were to use a oleophobic substance equivalent to wax (hydrophobic) then one would need to create a donut shape to fence in the oil, however if one used such a strategy with a epilame which is oleophilic then the oil would sit on the ring of the donut and not in the 'donut hole', exactly where you don't want it. Even is the oil is smeared then the oleophilic epilame should pull it back to the center (see diagram below). Reference
    • Looks lint the teeth on the hour wheel aren't meshing with the teeth on the calendar intermediate wheel, maybe the hour wheel is sitting on top of this instead of meshing?        
    • If the oil drop was freely standing on an epilame treated cap jewel it could easily slide off if you knocked the watch hard but the balance pivot keeps it in place. 
    • Latest 404 is this Baron which has a copy of a Seiko 66B movement in it, handy when I needed to find a replacement setting lever. Apart from the setting lever, crown, stem and new crystal (original was cracked) the watch is original. Finished result:
