Rattling Watch

[chrisdt]

  Purchased this watch from a market. It has a Laco 1055 movement. On disassembly I found the escape wheel loose in the case and what appears to be a pivot also loose in the case. I presume these two go together. If so can anyone help with how to re attach or am I missing something completely. Thanks all

I believe it's this, you can see the escape wheel with it's pivot. https://17jewels.info/movements/d/durowe/durowe-1055/

I think you'll need to get a replacement.

Thanks Richard for your help and that link....It is not just a friction fit?

[RichardHarris123]

Probably friction fit but the hole in the escape wheel might be enlarged.  Try putting it back on. If it's loose, you would have to close the hole or get a replacement.

Much obliged.....I'll give it a go

It is not friction fit, it is riveted. It is still repairable, and relatively easy. Just needs placing the table back on the pnion (not pivot) and gentle riveting with correct punch. Most important is not to try to close the hole, as this will only bring troubles. Alternative ways are possible here like using locktite fixer if the upper portion of the pinion is engaged with the 4th wheel. The table in the end must turn true in flat and radial
