Hi

 

I need to clean the bottom plate - specifically where I crammed in Rodico where I shouldn't have on the cap jewel assembly - as well as the cap jewels and Novodiac spring.

 

After cleaning, should I oil all the wheel train jewels with 9010 as well as the flat side of the cap jewel before reassembly?

 

Thank you muchly for your expertise...

 

Dave

I find that trying to follow the funny droplets on the drawing while reassembly is too cumbersome, and causes too much switching from an oiler to another.

For this reason I try to rationalize the process preparing a list of each point that gets the same type of oil, going to from thicker to the lighter, is the direction of motion. E.g. I did this for the Seiko 6R15 walk-throughout that I wrote.

I think that reduces the chances of mistakes, saves time, and helps understanding the use of the different oil types.

Anyone have a technical reference manual for a Farrari Lap Time Swiss ISA 9001/1300 movement?

Thank you John, you saved me saying it. If I was able to lift individual posts and start a new thread I would, but unfortunately I can't. Also posting different requests within a post, makes searching for information a nightmare.

      7750 chronograph service

      Thanks both. I read the lesson, and am getting a better understanding of the chrono mechanism.    Practically speaking, how should I adjust the finger? Bend it a bit with two pairs of tweezers? Is this possible with it in situ, or does it need to be taken off and on repeatedly until it's right?

      Slippage when winding

      By ColinC · Posted

      Thanks for the input - but I don't think this is the case either. I have inspected the spring and it looked fine with the bridle locked against the ridge on the barrel wall.  And as I said, I did manage to put a full wind on it using my tweezers without any slipping. @JohnR725 You might be right about pushing down when I use the tweezers! And yes I am aware that this is a cheap movement! I have just taken the watch back out of the case and removed the dial to see if I can see better. Strangely I was able to wind it  a few times without slipping when it was out of the case .  But when I try to release the power on the mainspring by holding back the click and slowly letting the crown turn, it slips.

      Slippage when winding

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      I was afraid of something like this and yes the pictures helpful for those that have never seen one of these. The problem with a watch like this made at a bargain price and they do things a little bit differently.   Nitpicky clarification required? When winding with the crown versus pushing with the tweezers visually is it exactly the same? Then when you whining with your tweezers are you pushing down at all? It's possible the mainspring is slipping on the other side farther into the watch. As I said these are made differently cheaper than a standard watch and we probably need a better image of the mainspring barrel itself. Like for instance you notice the upper pivot well if you do you're seeing things as there is no upper pivot. So another words is a strap holding the barrel in place and it's definitely made differently than the standard watch. Which means conceivably it slipping on the other side as things have worn out and you may not be a loose see that on the other side. One of the annoying problems with technical information that you download is conveniently when it was scanned the technical was not because they just wanted the parts lists. So we can see that the mainspring barrel in this case doesn't have an arbor. In other words it goes together a little bit differently than a standard watch and it's possible that it still has defect and is slipping somewhere in here. Then he is a website that shows a few pictures but not how the barrel goes together or the barrel itself which is unfortunate. https://17jewels.info/movements/e/eb/eb-8800/   EB_EB 8800etc.pdf
