Servicing my Rolex 5513, calibre 1520

Ok, due to the blurred pics here is the re-post - Part 1:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here a little walkthrough the servicing of my Rolex 5513, calibre 1520. Sorry for the funny english, I'm no native speaker.

I'm not a professional watchmaker, this is only amateur-work.  

 

I start by opening the case, taking off the automatic device and disassemble it.

Now I remove the movement and take off hands and dial.

Removing the cannon pinion.

Now it's time for the balance and the pallet fork.

Continuing disassembling with ratchet and train wheels.

Next one is the barrel bridge.

I decided to use a new mainspring.

Now it's time for the keyless works.

On the other side of the movement the spring for stopping the balance.

Removing the screws for the movement and the dial.

And reassemble the balance for protection reasons.

Ok, everything taken apart, ready for cleaning.

Here we go with part 2. Now it's easy to note, that I'm not a professional as the cleaning equipment is only... ehm... semi-professional.

 

Special treatment for the balance and the pallet fork.

The equipment for oiling and grease.

Inserting the new mainspring.

Reassembling the train bridge. Surprise: Much easier than on other watches, the parts fall into correct positions by themselves. Nice.

Barrel bridge and ratchet system.

The keyless works.

Assembling and oiling the Pallet fork.

The return of the balance.

A drop of oil for the balance and escape wheel stones.

Winding up and...it runs! Oops, some adjustment needed.

Better.

Reassembling the automatic device.

Inserting the screws for movement and dial.

Time for the cannon pinion and the hour wheel.

Warning: On the next pic the washer orientation is wrong, flip it over so the round side is touching the hour wheel.

Bringing back dial and hands (oh, I love those Maxi dials).

Back in the case...

...and completed with the automatic device.

Some grease for the gasket.

Got it.

It's called a wrist watch, so it's for the wrist not for the safe.

This is fantastic!  I am embarking on a similar project.  What did you use for an Oil Chart?

[Delgetti]

Sorry for the late reply. I had this sheet.
