Seagull Sg2903

I don't know, Keith, but it seems Chinese movements are short on documentation and spare parts...I'd say impossible to get either unless stripping a good movement from the parts needed. I hope somebody proof me wrong!

 

Cheers,

I have emailed Seagull for the part, but I think that will fall on deaf ears. 

I will strip it down to the barrel and cobble together a spring. I was trying to avoid stripping   the hand off as the dial is a matt finish that I don't think it would take much to mark it.

perhaps someone has a solution, a new mvt is £94, so not a cheap one.

I've just had a look at one of these Keith, there's no easy fix. If you are lucky you might be able to make one from a fine guitar string.

 

I shall start it tomorrow. I have some circular Click springs, the broken one fell out so I know the sort of shape. 

I shall start from the top and work down to the Barrel Bridge, then it will all become plain and simple....... I hope.

The watch has had little use so I expect it was either a faulty spring or they are prone to this.

If I remember I shall take some photo's, for anyone interested in seeing what is there............

All done..... Not such a hassle as first thought.

Few parts for the Chrono to take off and remembering to zero the watch prior to dismantling. Click spring was a basic circular, with two upstands, so was able to fashion one to fit from my spares cabinet.

All took about 1 1/2 hrs, with putting everything back together with a nice new Italian Leather strap.

I'd make one out of an old Spring mate, just find one of the right diameter & the right thickness stretch it apart & cut to suit, fold the ends up! Make them over long & cut to suit! Give it a go mate! You've nothing to loose!

    • I wish that was the case. The Aegler movements used in the early days by Wilsdorf & Davis (for brands like Rolex and Rolco) came in several sizes and without designated calibre numbers that survive.  They become a bit easier to identify during the 1920s. Below is an Aegler-Rebberg, 25.74mm in diameter. It’s from a woman’s Rolex wristwatch. Stamped Rebberg and 500 on the dial plate (but it isn’t a Rebberg 500, it’s the wrong size).  I’d be interested if anyone can identify the movement.  It is based off the Aegler Nr.1, circa 1903, but they based many many calibres of different sizes on it. The closest I have to a positive ID is the  ‘Rolex Nr.50’ circa 1917, but no dial side images or movement sizes are available in the references. There are identical looking movements in many sizes.  The 25.74mm of this movement is a particularly strange size for the era, it equates to 11.41 lignes.      Best Regards, Mark
    • It looks like this movement comes with a number of different shock settings. Emmywatch shows that it comes in versions with no shock settings, 'Incabloc', 'shock resist', and 'Supershock'. Perhaps the different settings position the impulse jewel/roller table in a non-ideal position relative to the pallet fork/guard pin. Are you able to check under high magnification if the pallet fork and roller table are able to operate without any interference? Just for fun I took a look and I have one FHF 70 in my collection, a West End Secundus with a non-shock protected FHF70. I had a note with the watch that said, "Movement is stamped 'FHF 70', but the FHF70 looks to have sub-seconds instead of center seconds movement (??)" but that a google search turned up both types for this movement. EDIT: I just took a look in my parts drawer and I have a few of these movements, both in center seconds and sweep seconds, but they all are non-shock protected.  
    • Any info on this watch would help. I know that it's sterling from London but I could not match the o letter date or make out makers mark.  Is the movement maker Camberwell or Lamberwell?   If I give it a twist it will run for about ten seconds.  $45 yard sale find.  I don't think that I want to service a fusee.  What quality is it?
    • Hello As I am learning, does anyone have any recommendations  on Repair and sourcing in Gold Coast, Qld, Australia ? eg old Seiko coil 4002920 Thanks. Cheers, Ken
