Hello, I am in the process of assembling a jughams 09 clock. Everything has fine except the warning wheel pin is on the underside of the warning wheel. The lever which activates on the pin is settled on top of the wheel which I understand is not adjustable. If the pin was uppermost I can see that it would work properly. I feel that either the pin is on the wrong side or the wheel has been removed in the past and been put back on upside down. Any help would be most grateful.

Hi. Is this @ two or three train clock, the warning wheel makes a quarter turn when going into warning at approx five to the hour and being stopped by the long lever.when the long lever is lifted to the high position by the center cam the warning wheel is released for thr strike to take place.

Hi everyone, with reference to the warning wheel problem, I decided to remove the wheel and replace it 180 degrees back on. Now the lever is right on it and the clock works fine.

I would assume that in the distant past that wheel came off and someone put it back on upside down. It belongs to an old lady who does not know how or when this happened.

That’s a very nice thing because not everyone can afford to have the treasures repaired.

      Hi all, Might a posit a theory and people can chime in and tell me if I'm barking up the wrong sycamore: If a mainspring is a bit coned and returned to its barrel for reuse, is it less likely to slip when the spring gets to fully wound?  For a bit of background: Slava 2427, barrel walls greased with 8217, six dots evenly spaced around each of the barrel walls, then smeared/ spread along the wall before popping the springs in.

      Always in love with watches since I was a kid and with fixing things as I grew up. 10 years ago I bought my first mechanical watch, the Invicta Pro Diver 8926. Recently it started not keeping time at all and when I made an attempt to regulating it I messed up the balance spring. So I decided to go for it and do the following: replace the NH35 movement in it and get the parts to try to fix the original movement. Turns out I should have gone for the balance complete, I just purchased 2 balance wheels. The first one was a disaster, the second one I was able to attach to the stud holder and even install in the watch, but I was definitely doing something wrong as the hairspring got tangled and bent out of place by too much. But by now I know how to install the balance complete. Also decided to change the bezel insert for a green one to freshen it up. But now I'm thinking about either going back to the old danged up insert or keep replacing parts (sapphire glass and another dial, since I lost the "Invicta" letters while cleaning the dial from dust). The invicta has actually sentimental value due to it having seen me go through shit in my life, I'm never going to part from it. I am just debating whether continue freshing it up or putting it back to it's "original" status with all the scars of the old bezel. Parallel to that I made a "build" (watch on the right), putting together a NH34, dial, hands and putting it in a case. It was actually my practice watch for the hand setting. The seconds hand was a terrible nightmare, when I finally got to insert it then the watch wouldn't start. Turns out that the paint job was a bit too thick, shaved a lump with a razor blade and it solved it. Installing the invicta hands on the other movement was a walk in the park in comparison, I'm very happy I practiced with an "aliexpress watch" first. But the thing is that I got it down to around 0.5ms beat error and +6 s/d, so I'll probably gift it to a dear friend as a "tool watch don't baby it at all". Anyhow, cheers to you all!
