Recently received this Tissot PRC200 for repair but can't find any technical reference online. Has anyone had any technical documents of this caliber CO 1211 to share?

Is this even a genuine ETA movement? It escapement is of plastic material -pallet fork and escape wheel.

Tissot tends to do that once in a while so it may very well be. I'm not familiar with this movement but I have a feeling parts are not going to be easy to find. In any case, I hope for a successful result.

 

Cheers,

I did a bit of trawling for ETA C01.112 tech sheets but came up empty handed, although there seems to be quite a lot of discussion about them.

What did come to light though was that they are based on the Lemania 5100, in which case the attached may be of help.

 

Although the use of plastics for movement components doesn't seem quite right in the traditional sense it is something that Tissot in particular pioneered in their cal.2250 in the 1970's, and swatch have gone back to in the ETA C10.111 as used in their Sistem 51 series of watches. Personally I don't like them but then I guess if it works.......

Stuart thank you for the link.

Disassembled the movement and found the chrono cam is badly damaged by water. Funny that it's not even in the components list. Does that mean it's part of the main plate?

Looks like it is Steven. Also looks like it is rivetted on, so will be quite a challenge to clean up, but getting parts for this movement will be harder unless you buy a donor watch.

I would be inclined to soak in tea (or Bergeon rust remover if you have no better use for your money) then try and clean with a fine scratch brush to see what you've got.

...and don't forget the miraculous always refreshing CocaCola (I'm short of money so let's see if they pay for this free ad :)  ) It will clean the rust away!

 

Cheers,

PS. I would recommend also toothpaste but Colgate doesn't like me! :)

 

PS. Joking apart, both methods have been used successfully by some forum members and are recommended...where applicable of course.

    • Good question!! Anyone know of a substitute movement??!! 🤔🙏
    • Interesting issue that I just noticed: this Seiko 5actus Watch from 1977 has a calibre listing on the dial of 7019-8030R but on the case back it says 7019-8010!! Like a mis-printed coin, is this watch therefore worth a lot of money for its rarity?? 🤪😲🤔🤪
    • 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?
