Hi all, 

im having a bit of an issue with the above watch. The crown (female end) is constantly sliding off the male end as the movement has a little bit of play inside the case which is a on earth piece - access is via the front by removing the glass  

The customer who brought it in had dropped it and it came to pieces so I'm not sure if he's lost a piece - like some kind of movement ring to secure the movement.  

There are two case screws with lugs on the back which are fine, and the case has a couple of slots which they go into then you have to turn the movement into position. But the problem is once the glass is back on etc the movement is able to turn slightly, allowing the male and female end to slide apart. 

Any ideas?

thanks for any help.

Has the case got a half moon shaped cut out where the case tube sits, the movement should have a plastic half moon shaped spacer near the stem that fits into the slot near the case tube if that is missing then the movement will move about in the case ?

Hi Wayne, I'm not a member no, but will take a look. I tried to attach some photos to show you but can't because of the upload image size limit. There is definitely no half moon shaped spacer though.

So I see what you mean, after reading the article it's called a wedge and is part number 0920001BL.

ive checked cousinsuk and no such part with them. Looks like I maybe a little stuck with this one! 

Probably that is what was wrong the dynamic i had also? the one with the one-piece stem. That movement was very loose in the case? 

As i remember i have read somewhere on Omegar forums abut that small plastic part? Someone called Archer said that they are impossible to find?

What is the calibre of movement in the watch ?

It's the 565, exactly the same as the one in the link you posted. I'm just wondering if I can make one somehow using a plastic spacer. But it's so small!

the cousins web site list the stem and wedge as :

Spacer Wedge For Stem, Blue ( 550.01 ), Omega 550 Series & 1000

suggesting that the part also fits the 1000 series movements as well, the part is listed as restricted i.e due to Omegas rather **BLEEP**y new policy not available,

Cousins does list part number X28249 stem with wedge, I think this is for a calibre 1020 maybe someone with more omega knowledged would know whether this part will fit your watch as the 565 listing would suggest  that it will,

I dont know whether Cousins would know the answer if you sent them a E-mail

otherwise as you suggest it may be easy enough to fabricate,

I wouldnt think it would be on the 565 paperwork because I think its classed as a case part and not a movement part.

I remember reading the article ages ago on the NAWCC web site so had a good idea it would be the wedge missing.

It depends how they are uploaded to the article if they are shown as attachments it will display a thumbnail picture and when you click on it as a non member it will just bring up the login page and not show a larger picture, anyone who love clocks and watches should join anyway and of course this site.

so i ordered this part -  Cousins does list part number X28249 stem with wedge, and can confirm it is NOT the part required, its just a stem with quite a fat section, i assume this is whats referred to as the wedge!

back to the drawing board.

Have you got the correct tension ring crystal? Often the rings in these actually bind against the dial surface.

yeh ordered a new crystal first, hoping this would solve the problem, but it didnt - still moves.

      Its 4 o'clock in the morning here in the Uk, i cant sleep, i dont sleep, not much ever really. My brain never shuts off to rest, I'm just a constant thinker, i have to be very tired to be able to sleep,  i guess eventually it will be my undoing and my health will suffer because of it I'm sure. But while I'm here i want to get as much out of life as i can, and give as much as i can, to help,maybe to make a difference to someone's life if that is within my capability,recent events have made that need even more clear to me. I'm not sure where I'm going with this or why i bring it up , or if its relevant to want i want to talk about its just in my head right now. What i do want to talk about is something thats been on my mind for ages. I like to be prepared,  I'm not fond of surprises because surprises take control away and i am a bit of a control freak at times. This forum, Our Forum if i can call it that, is here because of two reasons. The guy that created it and keeps it funded and the people that joined it.  Without either, it would not exist, and lets face it one day it won't ( I'm a realist and i talk about things others dont or who are afraid to in other words folk that dont particularly prepare for the inevitable). How many of us visit here regularly ?  How many among us almost depend on the forum as a way of socialising because they are stuck at home and how many of us has it become part of a daily routine to check in and see if they can offer advice or get help with something they are working on or just to have a chat and engage in some banter. The members here are in the thousands and thousands have disappeared over the years many had just a fleeting visit. But there are a good few of us that know each other quite well and visit regularly. I dont know about you but i wouldnt want to lose that communication with you all, in all honesty it has become an important part of that side of my life and helps to feed my passion for all things watches. Some of you may think differently and thats ok, some of may stop and think # what would i do " Without Our Forum " #

      Naptha appears to be a general name and its content can be varied depending upon what it's specific use is. Lighter fluid as an example can be light or heavier also with other ingredients to help it burn. Try sesrching for benzine ( as opposed to benzene which is linked to causing health issues ) . There are other fluids such as ethanol that you could try and also methylated sprirts, mostly ethanol with a small percentage of methanol added. Experiment with any new chemical to see how quickly schellac dissolves in its presence. I have tried a few things but hexane is not one of them, i understand it does evaporate very quickly.  Be sure sure to check out any safety data on chemicals you try. Toxicity of fumes and flash point information, ultrasonic machines can heat up fluids even without a heater function. And of course always ask here for personal opinions when trying a new substance.

      What tools does ebay have to offer this week.

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      I have that set and really like it. I prefer that crystal holder over the one that came with my Bergeon claw tool and any time I use the claw I use this one instead of the Bergeon one, just an additional bonus with this tool.

      Is the Roamer not a split stem? I'm confused on your how your case is put together. If it is a front loader where is it you are putting the case screws? I love me some Roamer, do you have any photos?

      Oh nice. I have a similar wedge style stump for my staking tool, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
