Looks like the 4 large screws are used for the Balance Cock and the Barrel and Train Bridge. Back row, left.

 

Front row, I seperated 1-1-3, but I now feel that the first screw is just like the 3 to the right...  I think that two of the four front row screws are for the pallet bridge, and two are for the date dial guard.

 

Back row right are two screws that don't look alike since I damaged one.  It's counter sink head got pushed off because I forced a long screw from the other side of the movement, (Center wheel bridge) pushing the day jumper plate over the small screw... Center wheel bridge screw should be shorter

 

The screw to the left of them might be fit the setting lever plate , since it has a counter sunk head.

 

I think I am missing a pallet bridge screw. Adding up the screws needed, I think you need 7 on the back of the movement, and 6 on the face side.  I did not mention the screw that holds down the date and day finger.

 

Looking for another  7006A movement that I can use for reference/parts....

Easier to find a 7005 movement? It's the same movement without the day ring. Check our friend on ebay Mr    thewatchcollector.

I'm fairly new at this hobby and got burned a few times by the problem of what screw goes where when reassembling, so I now photograph every step of the dismantling process. I have a point and shoot digital camera with an excellent macro, so it's easy and quick to take a quick pic of each component and its screw(s), then save them in a logically named folder when it's all in pieces. Typically i will take about 50 pics per watch, and I've attached a few representative ones below. The one of the parts tray with all the pieces and their fasteners is especially useful I find.

And my big sin is that I don't always clean the fasteners unless they're really dirty as that way the groups of them don't get mixed up. 

 

It's always a head-scratcher moment when the watch is completely assembled, and running, but there's a screw, or two, left in the tray.

      Omega sweep second pinion friction spring - correct tension IS important

      By TimeWerks · Posted

      Thanks for this post MikePilk, I just came across a similar problem with an Omega 1022.  The problem I had was the seconds pinion spring was bent out of shape and did not even engage with the wheel properly, so the seconds hand was not moving at all. (no power loss though :) I removed the automatic module so I could access the spring and work on it. Once I bent it back close to the right shape, I experienced the same problem you reported about power loss.  Many tweaks later, and the seconds hand is moving properly again, with amplitude back to good numbers again. Cheers

      After cleaning up the pivots, I made bushes on the lathe. At this point I've pressed in 6 bushes (3 sets) and the wheels turn smooth. What I can also tell you, is that I'm not looking forward to final assembly. Getting the pivots aligned seems to get exponentially more difficult with each wheel that is added.

      Greetings from Whidbey Island.

      Islands are interesting places to live depending upon their size and other factors. This is a bigger island and it has a bridge to get there at least on one end. It's also big enough that you don't have to go someplace else to get things typically. It can be a problem if you get a job in Seattle though. Yes I've known of people who commuted from the island to Seattle for a job and I don't quite remember how many hours it took but it took a long time. So basically islands are nice if you don't have to leave very often.

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

      Thanks @JohnR725! Everything you say makes a lot of sense and is encouraging to read.

      isn't it nice to have a decent case open or when the case doesn't want to be opened? In the case of a Rolex watch that supposed to pass specific water resistant testing you probably do need to tighten the back down. But they shouldn't be tightened so much that they risk stripping the threads out. Then the other problem that comes up is the gaskets can start to disintegrate and then getting the back off can be quite a challenge unless you have a really good tool and perhaps some penetrating oil to loosen things up. Yes really nice case marking. When I was in school we were taught to mark the cases and  the American watch and clockmakers Institute even had a? So if you joined at one time they would give you an identification number. They were explaining or giving an example of if the watches ever found in you have a unique number they can perhaps figure out the history of the watch or identify the body it's attached to for instance not that that probably comes up that often. So you got a unique number and even made a special metal stamp that you can purchase. It wasn't a super big aggressive stamp but still it left a mark in the back of the case. Then I heard from people at work on Rolex watches they were using a felt pen indelible but later on they decided that was bad because apparently the ink could release  chemicals although it seems like once it's dry that shouldn't be an issue. Then of course today was nice is you can keep computer records sealed have to mark anything at all I personally find it's best to leave no reference behind that you were even there. Especially when you have a beautiful watch that has no markings at all and now it has your scribbling all over it not good typically if there is a typical and watch repair?  a lot of minor repairs you don't need to do a complete servicing. But beyond a certain point you're going to have to take apart a lot of stuff you're going to disrupt the lubrication even if it looks perfect right now and yes you might as well just go ahead the service the whole thing. also in a watch like this where a lot of things seem to be going on the complete service would be better then you'll know exactly where you stand versus dealing with unknown mysteries for prior repair.
