Keeps falling of. There are only two small tabs to hold it to the middle parts. Should it be glued or am i missing something? As the click spring is can't be reach from the little hole? I need to put the disc on after i have put the middle part on?

Your not supposed to separate the pieces. You will either have to replace the part or put it on a staking set and make a few tightening rivets. I suppose epoxy would work too (just a few tiny dabbs).  To install the disc you just sort of lay it on and rotate till the lever gets moved into position under the hole and use a dip oiler or something small to move it.

You put the day disc onto the pinion, and gently press it down every whilst rotating, and then when you feel it drop into place, then you fit the retainer clip, which clips to the lower part of the hour pinion.

Probbly did wrong when i removed it. Lifted at the end instead of lifting in the middle part. where the 2 holes are. Thinking i could solder it to the inner parts. If i remove the paint a little. The heat shouldn't  destroy the other part of the disc. And only a little solder is needed to make sure it stays on.

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out.  (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement -  any tips on putting the crystal back in?  Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press?  I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under…
