Hi all,

I've attached a picture of a movement that belongs to my Breitling a41360. It is a 2892.a2 with a chronograph module mounted. I believe these modules are made by Dubois depraz but I'm struggling to identify exactly which Dubois depraz module it is and how to obtain parts?

The chronograph module has 20000 8 engraved on the plate. Chrono seconds/minutes at 3/9 and date at 6. 

I need a new fourth wheel (if that's the name of the wheel that carries the second hand on the module) as the pinion has snapped for the centre seconds...

Any help to find out what chronograph module it is and if parts are available would be very very much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure that you will have an easy time getting parts as I believe it is DD's policy to exchange complete modules rather than supply parts to the trade, let alone private individuals. However, this is just what I have gathered to be their policy over time and I could be well wide of the mark; it will be interesting to see how you get on.

in the mean time have a look here;

Not the same ETA movement or DD module, but it is at least a glimpse into a DD module.

Hi Marc and Mark,

Thank you for the help. I'm awaiting a response from DD. I will check the part availability via the Omega caliber when I'm back at work. Definitely worth a shout.

Great job on the videos too Mark they are a huge help for everyone. A lot of people in the industry in Nottingham often use your videos as a point of reference. Thank you.

Thank you both for offering your help :) I'll email Dubois Depraz and post the response here for everyone's reference if anyone has a similar enquiry in the future.

 

Thanks again,

I have the very same problem. The chrono module has been subjected to water ingress and has damaged at least 8 parts. If you manage to get a chrono module or parts please let me know and thank you for posting.

Thanks JDM. Next time I'll wear my glasses so I can see the date. 🙂

Just wanted to help you get the right expectations about an answer, and let you know that unlike PMs, a member don't get an email when referenced in discussions.

Are we talking about the exact same watch with the exact same chronograph module?

I can't remember the original request are you seeking parts or do you need documentation?

I am seeking parts John or a replacement module. The one in the watch has a lot of corroded parts that are not retrievable. Any help would be most appreciated.

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      By joelcarvajal · Posted

      Thank you all for the replies!  Very informative! True enough, the Gamsol took some time to evaporate and does leave a residue. So not all naphtha are created equal!  Need to find alternatives then. i was able to try Hexane recommended by Alex and it seems great.  I wonder what the cons are?

      Yeah, I saw that in the tech sheet but I don't see how it can be adequately cleaned with the friction pinion still in place. I've accidentally pulled the arbor right out of the wheel once when I used a presto tool to try and remove it. Mark shows how he does it with the Platax tool. Those are a little too pricey for me so I got one of these from Aliexpress and I just push down on the arbor with the end of my brass tweezers. That usually gets it most of the way out and then I just grab the wheel with one hand the and the friction pinion with the other and gently rotate them until it pops off. Probably not the best way but it's seemed to work for me so far.

      Thanks, Jon Sounds like a plan. Obviously I'll have the face on so do you think gripping with the holder will create any problems, but I will check in the morning to see how feasible it is but I assume it only needs to be lightly held. As for holding the movement instead of the holder won't be possible in this scenario as one hand will be puling on the stem while the other pushes the spring down. That was my initial concern is how the hell can I do this with only one pair of hands. All the other times I've had to remove the stem hasn't been a problem, apart from the force required to release the stem from the setting lever, but now I need to fit the face and hands its sent me into panic mode. If it had the screw type release things would be a lot simpler but that's life 😀   Another thing I will need to consider is once the dial and hands are fitted and the movement is sitting in the case I will need to turn it over to put the case screws in. I saw a vid on Wristwatch revival where he lightly fitted the crystal and bezel so he could turn it over, is this the only option or is there another method?

      Main spring

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Hi Jon, do You think that relation spring torque - amplitude is linear? I would rather guess that the amplitude should be proportional to the square of the torque. I had once idea to check it, but still haven't.

      I did not. I thought about it, but I had cleaned it in my ultrasonic, and the tech sheet shows lubricating it in place already assembled, so I figured discretion was the better part of valor. Although since I have to depth the jewels anyway, maybe I pull the pinion off to rule it out 100% as part of the problem. Do you know if there's a safe way to do it? I don't want to use a puller because it would push down on the plane of the wheel, and that seems like a Bad Idea. I thought about using a roller table remover, but I don't think I have a hole stake pointy enough to push it down.
