Hi All

I have a Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Reveil (similar pictured) and need a replacement escape wheel (which i understand is an obsolete part)

I am told the model is 22197 with a cal AS 5008 (5611)

Would anyone on here have any ideas where I might source the part, the watch is lovely and I would hate it to be the end of its journey through life. (the movement has an integral alarm which may make replacing the whole movement difficult also)

Thank you for your time 

Dan

The best thing to do is contact as many material dealers as possible.

Here is a good start: http://www.watchrepairtalk.com/links/watch-clock-repair-suppliers/

The Part number is 705 and the base calibre is 5001.

 

I could not find one at Cousins or on Ebay. You could try May at Northern Watch & Clock Supplies - she often has long obsolete parts. https://www.linkedin.com/in/may-moorhead-69887b38

Thanks Mark, most appreciated for your time, I almost sent this watch to you when i got it, but you were not taking anything else in at the time.

you were my preferred repair guy for this project after I have been following your work and videos :Bravo:

That's fantastic I'm glad you were able to find the part required to keep that beauty alive .

    • First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?
    • I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank  
    • Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.
    • I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
    • Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.
