Hi folks and pros

I have an Asian 2836 movement watch and recently the below mentioned issue surfaces.

The watch is working perfectly. But when I rotate the Crown on date set position, the date changes well, except between the 25 and 30.

During these dates, I need to rotate the Crown anti clockwise and close wise a few times for the date to change.

It does not seem to me that the date wheel is rubbing on anything and I suspect that it is one of the following :

1) the gear teeth on the date wheel is spoilt between the 25 and 30?

2) more lubrication is needed on the date skipping double?

Kindly advise please.

Thanks

More things to come.

You will need to strip the dial side to see what the issue is. If it is always between specific dates it might be damage to the date ring teeth at the area. But the strip down is the only way to investigate & fix.

Could be a bit of grit stuck under the calendar ring or could be a dodgy calendar ring but you know where to look.

If you can't see anything obvious then slightly loosen the screws of the retaining clamps and see if that fixes it. If it does then you need to see why (is the calendar disk warped? Is one of the teeth bent? Is the groove under any of the clamps poorly finished?)

I am working on 2836 as well. Is there a video that shows how the calendar/day rings work? I tried to 'work' the date change without the rings but, since there was nothing there to change...

 

I'm thinking a video with transparent rings might be able to show how it works.

 

I'm always amazed how all those small parts work together and that there is nothing there that shouldn't be there; no room anyway.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
