6497-1 Lubrication Of Wheel Train After Cleaning


Folkvisor

Recommended Posts

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...

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.

    • Nice file  Just got old pocket watch in and tools,  can I get it back together or should I give up.  we'll see  thanks for the info
    • @HectorLooi Yes, I would say that Mumbai has the highest liquidity in terms used watches. How was your experience with these used watches and what watch brands did you buy used? I have always found the vintage luxury watch segment in India a bit shady. Quite a few are genuine watches with genuine matching parts but just not from the same one.
    • Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.
    • @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.
    • Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ
