Cheers mate!

Yesterday was the BIG day, I put together the final parts on my Antima Sport Professional. After doing my first total service on a movement.

I had not a watch cleaning machine, so I had to build that as well...

It was the same Antima that I have put out a photo of on the forum on the 29 of march, when I introduced myself as a new member.

That looks awesome. As I'm someone who has disassembled and am about to clean my first watch, what would be your two best tips?



Sent from my brain using evolution and electricity.

Thanks for kind words!! My best tips is take lots of photoes, make sketches, keep track ower where the screwes belong, take your time, take a break when tired, have fun, celebrate when done....

Good luck!!

Keep us posted .....

That was a really  nice vintage diver. With the same case as  both the Tag Heuer and Candino use. Aswell as my others. 

Thanks Robert!! Yes,  this is the watch I bought in 1977, when I was 14 years old. I paid with my own money..

So now 39 years later, it have now been updated And as good as new....

Thanks. Taken about 100 pics while taking apart. Should have paid more attention to screws. And finding this on the kitchen table two days after disassembly wouldn't be in your top tips then?!! [emoji33]

Hi arkobugg, great job on the refurbishment on this watch, followed with interest and think it looks great, well done.

Your amplitude in the last pic however is very low, you will be having terrible positional errors and fluctuations I would imagine, have a look at your escapement, is the hairspring flat? check end shakes from the barrel arbor to the balance wheel itself, look closely at the balance staff pivots, something is robbing you of amplitude.

Enjoy this detective work, we learn so much every day by doing it, keep up the super work, please keep me informed of your progress.

Hey Brian,  Yes I can see that is low on this pictures, but I seems to remember that this have been like 230 or 260. I think this watch have higher amplitude when fully wind up. Or should this not have nothing to say? The watch now keeps the time pretty good, it goes like between -7 to + 5 in a average...

Is there a threaded spacer ring inside in order to keep the movement steady or is it held in place only with the crown stem?

      Introduction

      By Randy55 · Posted

      Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Diagram for 6497 motion works

      By Jon · Posted

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
