Between the 2 screws, you see a tiny slot. push it and the take out the stem.... from what I see, it seems taht's the only way to do...

any idea how far to push it in, I hear that some movements if you push down to far it might mess things up. Sorry I'm not technical when it comes to the wording. Just the basics like crown,crystal,stem, rotor etc.

i will give that a try

thanks

I'm sure others who have done this more than I will give you direction...

 

But, From what I can remember, use a screw driver about the same width as the slot to push the pin in. You don't want to push the pin is farther than the slot shoulders will allow as this will cause the retaining pin to slip out of place. Then it may require disassembly to replace the retaining mechanism

just don't push it in when you refit the stem, you should be able to turn it back into the movement without touching the button, its often when you put the stem back in you get problems with it disappearing (if you push it)

I got it out but now I can't seem to get the movement straight into the case. I had to remove one case clamp and screw on one side to get the movement to slip in level now not sure how to put back the case clamp. Wish there was some sort of video on the removal and replacement of the 2671 Tudor movement.

I will keep looking to try and figure it out. This is my first time. The watch came with the movement out of the case so it could be called watch parts for customs reasons. Now just have to put it back together.

I don't think that is even the right clip for this application(?) I would guess it should look just live the other retaining clip on the other side of the movement.

      A helpful way in aid of assembly is to place all the wheels in their respective places, place to plate on the top and fit a couple of the nuts onto the pillars. This stops all the wheels wobbling about as they are lightly held by the plate, you can manoeuvre the pivots into their holes, using a tool , usually home made or can be bought on eBay. I made my own. As the pivots align and fall into place screw the nuts down a bit to keep up the tension on the plate untill all wheels are in place then tighten down sufficiently to keep the plate in place whilst checking the end shake on ALL wheels and their location when all is good only then tighten down the plate.

      I'd say my Pultra 10 lathe. It is just so well made and everything fits so tightly together.

      Full plate watch, Suitable tool for adjusting & testing pallet stones?

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Yes, the specific old tools do exist, but may be having one is not needed as they are not cheap, and also You will be able to do without it well enough. My advice will be to use regular depthing tool and adjust it for the exact distance between pallet fork and escape wheel bearings from the watch. Then remove the shellac from the pallet that now doesn't pass the ew teeth and move this pallet in. Then put the pallet fork and ew on the depthing tool and check how they lock. They should not lock when the pallet is in, but You will little by little move the pallet out and locking will appear. Then move just an idea out for reliable work and apply shellac, then check if things are still the same. You have to observe where the teeth fall on the pallets - it must be just a little below the edge between impulse and rest planes. Then You must check how everything behaves in the movement This Potence tool is so ingenious, but actually, the traditional way to do the things is much more simple. Arrange the parts not on the pillar plate, but on the cover plate. Only the central wheel will remain on the pillar plate, secured by the cannon pinion.

      There is a tool that was made for setting up and adjusting escapements of full plate watches.  There were two styles, the picture below shows both of them.  The lower tool held a movement plate and the vertical pointed rods were adjusted to hold the unsupported pivots of the lever and escape wheel.  There was also a version of this tool that had 3 adjustable safety centres so that the balance pivot could be supported by the tool :  The other version I’m aware of is the Boynton’s Escapement Matching and Examining Tool came as a set of two or three clamps that gripped the watch plate and held the safety centres for the pivots : These do turn up on eBay from time to time.  For some escapement work, you can set up the parts in a regular depthing tool, with the centres set according to the distance between the corresponding pivot holes on the movement.  I hope this helps, Mark
