Omega Cal 752 Service

Recommended Posts

I am about to work on a omega 752 automatic movement, i recall somebody mentioning about putting the movement plates through the cleaner can strip off the gilding on these - is this true? - also does anyone have a service manual?

Thanks in advance

Its fine putting it through the cleaner just like any other Omega auto wind or manual wind. Just don't use one of those fiber glass tipped brushes on it as that will take of the gilding.

Sorry can't find a service manual with oiling info, but there is this.

    • Hi welcome to the forum. One can only reiterate the diagnosis already made by clockboy mainspring problem. But before tearing it to pieces take a little time to read the attached file to acquaint yourself with all the various parts. TZIllustratedGlossary.pdf
    • We think about these preps as "one-dips" partly because they are terrific solvents but also because the parts they are used on are often cleaner in general than many other parts. But old oils petrify, and even something like B-Dip can't clean up over-soiled parts without some extra effort, as mentioned above. There is an intermediate step during cleaning where the solvent can partially dissolve tarry residues so they have a more liquid varnish-like consistency, and that could well be what you are seeing on the coils after two washes. I wouldn't worry that your B-Dip was contaminated before you used it on this hairspring, but it I wouldn't re-use that aliquot AFTER this cleaning!
    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy.. Normally if a hand wound watch does not fully wind ie just keeps winding there is an error with mainspring, either slipping around its winding arbour or the mainspring is broken. 
    • Most all my 404 candidates are coming from swap meets and "antiques fairs". One more $4US plus battery and elbow grease. Unnamed digital on a decent ss bracelet. Gains 10 seconds a day so not that accurate...
    • I voted.for the 6.99 assuming £, which works out to $8.74US at the current exchange rate.
