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.

      Seiko 6601 Tech Sheet?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here

      An intro…

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By Endeavor · Posted

      The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.

      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
