I think you guys might like this it's multiple videos about 10 minute each one taking a Seiko apart and putting it back, it has a stop device which the guy calls a hacking device, he has never done one before so there are many mistakes he makes, some are screamers to me some are very common. What I like about this is he shows how difficult things can be for someone who has limited knowledge.

Here is the link.

 

Mods move this if its in the wrong section.

Entertaining, I almost felt the need to wear my safety specs.

 

And the fact that he was mauling an Invicta didn't bother me, but experimenting on a good movement with the hands and dial still attached..................

If you watched them all, he explains why he's left the dial and hands on for much of the time.  For me it is the amount  of oil and grease and not cleaning up his mess and not using the correct width screwdrivers, I found this hard to take in.

Absolutely! One of the reasons will be: On Seiko, first do the dial side immediately after removing the rotor and maybe the balance!! It is a good resource because it shows not only the movement but the pitfalls of working on a movement without consulting the service data...among other things.

Cheers,

Bob

That's the main reason why I posted it so you can see the pitfalls and at times its not so easy as it looks.

      Title: ETA 2836-2 Not Ticking After Pallet Fork Replacement – Need Assistance

      By TimepieceTinkerer · Posted

      Initially, when I fitted the train bridge, I noticed that if I tightened the screws all the way down, the wheels wouldn’t function. But if I left the screws slightly loose, everything worked fine. That made me suspect something was misaligned. After checking further, I found the cannon pinion was loose and causing the fourth wheel not to sit properly. Because of that, the train wasn't fully free under normal assembly, and once the balance was in place, the pallet fork and escape wheel couldn’t interact properly — they were effectively blocked. I’m not sure why the cannon pinion was loose, but I used my staking tools and applied a bit of pressure to tighten it. I'm an amateur, and this is my very first ETA movement. If anyone has any idea why the cannon pinion might have been loose in the first place, or if it’s likely to come loose again, please advise — I’d really appreciate the insight.

      Timex M33 - A small repair

      By VascoF · Posted

      Hi everyone I finally had time to try to solve the problem...and I did. 😃 A bit of apprehension about removing the dial and it took a while to put the date and day wheel back in place. The prediction was correct, the screw was completely loosened (5145/1 - Pillar screw (short)) which caused the Date Lever to move out of its place and not activate the date wheel. Thanks for all the help.

      Could anybody work on a screw this small?

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      The tiniest screws are usually ones used to hold down cap jewels or Geneva stud holders in small high end calibers. 0.30mm threads are sometimes seen here. Smaller than that I've only seen on really small balance screws. I've made 0.25mm thread balance screws; that required making an adjustable die with a 0.30 tap. I asked my tap supplier if they had a 0.25 tap as they didn't list one, and they said yes, then called back to say they do but they are reserved for one specific customer. I think that customer must be Nivarox. Luckily 0.30 and 0.25 have the same thread pitch.   Waltham made some amazing automatic cam operated lathes already back in the late 1800s, really the first of their type and the origin of the term "screw machine" which became what all cam operated lathes were called- up until the Swiss innovated with lathes where the workpiece itself moved, sliding in the headstock collet. These are called a- wait for it- Swiss Lathe.   Die is 8mm diameter like the old standard dies (which are no longer made, at least good ones).

      Wheel 'height'?

      By AndyGSi · Posted

      The part you've linked above is the 242 canon pinion. the 227 3.55 high is on Cousins as you've shown but isn't listed when you do a parts search for the 2892.A2 If you're measuring 3.6 then I think this would be the correct one as your original post.

      Wheel 'height'?

      By Simeon · Posted

      It's this one, though weirdly the part code on the link ends 'h315' rather than the 'h355' it actually says on the site, tying in with the height of 3.55mm   https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/eta-2892a2?code=ETA2892A2242H315#   https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/eta-2892a2?code=ETA2892A2242H315# I note that dimension 'C' is given as pivot end to pivot end.
