I am amateur watchmaker in Austin, TX, USA.  I have a vintage Baylor Heuer alarm wrist watch that is a Heuer cal. 1475 SA. The alarm complication needs some work so I am looking for a specification or diagram to aid me in repairing it.  

Also, the alarm stem is missing. The stem that should be there is noticeable shorter and thicker then the winding stem. A standard stem will not engage the lever and will fall out when the lever screw is tightened. There is no wear on the protrusion that engages the stem, it has crisp machined edges. Everything looks normal and it's a very clean watch.

Any help finding documentation is appreciated.

I have not stripped, cleaned or oiled this watch, I am hoping to find a specification or drawing first.

Failing to find those documentation, I will record the strip down and meticulously put the parts into separate parts baskets for cleaning. It will obviously take more time but, in the end I will know which screws go with which parts and the order of assembly.

      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.

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      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.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      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.

      The sping is not pushing directly on the cap, but is pushing against the spindle. So, even if the usual black cap is replaced with the micrometer cap, the spindle is still pushed up.

      But he tells that the micrometer cap doesn't screw into the spindle. How can the spring push the spindle up if there's nothing to grip? There is a screw visible on top of the micrometer cap so should it be able to screw into the spindle? I'm feeling really dumb now. Does anyone manufacture that cap as an aftermarket item? Might be worth investing. Ok so the spindle is different, now I get it.
