The cannon pinion is pressed onto the off-center center wheel in this Omega 1001.

Sorry for the blurry shot; it's the best one I had.

The tech sheet suggests:

It is recommended to support the upper third wheel pivot whilst placing the small cannon pinion.

But I'm trying to think how I would do that. I was hoping someone with experience on this movement could weigh in.

This is to prevent the stone on the other side from breaking when canon is pressed. You can put the canon before assembling the movement, but this is if the 3th wheel when in place will not prevent the other wheels to get in place. The other way is to assemble the train and then to put the movement on something that the pivot tip will lay on and thus the pinion will not press the stone when canon is installed.

It's always interesting with the watch companies is how the technical documentation changes with time. So while at one time Omega what I have a documentation specific to your watch later on they don't they just consolidate common things into one technical documents. Where conveniently skip over a whole bunch of other stuff then In any case you are asking about cannon pinion For the third whale this is what they have how to remove it. The important note on lubrication or not to lubricated and that looks like a staking set punched push it on? Don't see any reference to supporting it on the back side image.png.180f3e02cbca3fa911e0ba5bbb749cb5.png

There is no a reference to movement holder for fitting the hands.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
