Hi, I have a dulux chronograph with a landeron 48 movement, missing the crown, can anyone point me in the right direction on the cousins website to which one to buy? I'm not confident enough to get the measurements right myself it apparently uses a w1158 stem if that helps at all. I've got as far as it's a long or short pipe stainless steel.....I think.

Many thanks, Dave.

I first would determine the tap of the stem. Measure it with a caliper: 0.9 is tap 10...or check the stem dimensions and tap from their site by entering the number (or from boley if available). Then estimate the dimensions from the case and tube you have and order a generic one...That is, if the actual original item is not available...just my 2 pennies.

Hi Dave,

There are at least 3 different stem thread sizes for the L48, so you will need some calipers to measure the diameter of yours. If you are ordering from Cousins in the UK, they convert mm diameter to tap size by multiplying by 10, but this is not a universal approach so be sure to check - as Bobm12 says, US suppliers use a different system. I did once find a conversion chart, but since I usually order from Cousins, I don't have much use for it.

Looking at the case from your other thread, it has a case tube, but unlikely to be waterproof given the pusher type so you should be ok with a short or long pipe crown - a long pipe is good if the end of the stem has broken off. Typically you would fit about a 6mm diameter crown on a chrono.

This should narrow it down for you:

      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.

      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.

      I suppose? If it worked before and it doesn't work now I guess the question would be why does it not work now? That would come back to if you did not have the chronograph module on will it work or is the chronograph module sucking too much power out of the watch basically 99 usually when they go bad you can hold on the tube part and usually just spin the wheel because it has zero holding at all so usually when they go bad they go bad very bad. You should build hotel when you set the watch as to whether it seems to have any friction or not. I'm just wondering if the chronograph module is the problem.
