clockboy & Vic,

 

I'll disassemble soon.  I just need to find a couple of free and alert hours...and the confidence.  ;)

 

I'll keep you posted.

 

 

Vic,

 

was there anything different or "non-standard" about re-installing the hands?

 

Thanks again for the counsel and encouragement.  I appreciate it.

 

Doug

As I remember there was nothing special about the hands.  Just the usual stuff, ensure they are located firmly keep them parallel / not touching, locate hour and minute both exactly on 12 (nothing worse than the hour hand not being dead on at 12 noon) the second hand usually located exactly on a chapter marking as well.  I use the bergeon dial protectors but paper or plastic is ok.  Some watches need a bit support to the other end of the cannon pinion but as I recall the Tissot was ok.

 

Cheers Vic

Hey all,

I finally mustered the courage, got off my ever-burgeoning backside and worked on this today. I took the dial side apart but didn't see anything obviously amiss. So, I reassembled and the stem inserted completely. It's running and setting correctly now. Go figure.

Thank you for your very friendly advice and encouragement. I appreciate it.

Best regards,

Doug

hello Doug,

 

It happens sometimes that things just come together despite a long period of trepidation.  In the North East we have an expression "S**t or Bust" which generally means what will be will be so just get on with it and in this case you have come up trumps so bask in the success.

 

Cheers,

 

Vic

Hello Duhgluss,

When I saw you had unscrewed it 3 turns my heart sank as, just like George, I agree with our Bob and Clockboy.

 

There is always a chance we are wrong but basically parts will probably have dropped out of position on the dial side and are fouling the pathway for the stem and you can't resolve without dial removal.

You will need to take off the hands after protecting the dial with a thin bit of plastic or paper cut to fit under the hands on top of the dial which means you would need the tools to release the dial (normally held on by two screws that hold on to two prongs on the dial back), Presto hand puller or the like and presser to put them back on plus appropriately sized screwdrivers (not too big or small). You will get everything but the screwdriver for about £6.00 if you get the cheaper Indian or Chinese makes.

There is a load of stuff on the tube about the process involved and our Mark has covered it in general on some of his videos. 

This was the second watch I ever worked on and it was quite easy so its up to you but I would give it a try, just make sure to take pics every time before and after you remove something.

Here is some info that may help.

Thanks Vich. I am actually working one right now .So perfect finding the manual and PDF. Having some trouble with the date wheel . It's a little bent . Manage to straighten with a homemade punch .I  don't now if it would work until i have rebuild the movement again.

Hello Rogart,

 

Some time ago I bought the Bergeon Quartz oil but in fact have hardly ever used it.  Hope the wheel is flat enough.Good luck with the rebuild.

 

Cheers,

 

Vic

Hi all -- this thread helped me avoid a major foo-pah!   I got the stem out without issue thanks to you all!

BUT....my movement seems to be "stuck" in the case.  I removed what appear to be two case screws and the stem of course.

Shouldn't the movement just fall out of the case at this point?

and BTW....seem to have lost a case screw ... any idea of the best replacement source?

Maybe the movement has to come out the dial side . Is it a square case you have . Cousisnuk may have the case screws.

Hi PWR
Most of us end up with a pile of scrap watch parts that yield screws and other parts. Most of the screw selections on eBay are not watch type but occasionally you'll find a pack of watch screws.
By the way it's faux pas - French for false step.
Cheers Neil

sorry to dig up this old thread, but...

I have a PR516 divers watch with the 2031 movement.  I undid the stem screw by two turns

Nothing

an extra half turn for luck

Nothing

Sweating now, I made it a full three turns and the stem slid out.  I nipped the screw in while I await my new crystal (2.7mm thick! )

:woohoo-jumping-smiley-emoticon:

Thanks for the previous answers that helped

As always, the advice on this site allowed me to successfully remove my stem from Tissot 2013

BUT....after removing the single case screw I saw...I cannot figure out what I'm missing to remove the movement from the case

It also appears, I might be wrong, that the bezel is removable....but not easily.

Appreciate any advice

Why hooking into an existing thread since this is a new question?

You should post pictures top and side.

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By Khan · Posted

      Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      The part was how it fell out of the movement - the train wheel bridge wasn’t screwed in.    I’ll probably dismantle the part, if I can, to work it out.    The train of wheels ran fine - it was only once the keyless works were installed I noticed the problem.

      Balance staff sourcing?

      By mthomas828 · Posted

      Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Thats why i asked that question earlier, what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ?  As opposed to walled within its non epilamed area . I'm not saying its right, i have no idea , just asking questions.
