Breitling pluton movement change?


Recommended Posts

Have stuck on this watch. It's a Pluton 2100 with a ESA 900.231 movement. Can't seem find out how to get the movement with the dial into the case? The pusher rods are in the way?  I now this a very delicate movements and don't want to destroy the movement that i now works okay? Anyone been working on this movements?  Pictures coming?

Can place the movement in the case if i don't have the dial there. This is the old movement. 

Donor watch with correct movement. Lucky find :)

Movement inside the case without the dial. DSC08141.thumb.JPG.7da31f43094ad8c1870b9b4e4e84a0f8.JPG

And the movement can only be placed from one side of the movement holder. Usually you put the movement holder in afterwards. DSC08139.thumb.JPG.820d741aee3248792df43f5759195e1a.JPG

Found that the pushers where a little loose in the case. So i guess i remove them and put the new movement in. And just screw them back in. Maybe a  little threadlock on the threads to prevent them from loosing. Funny thing as they seem to be the same as Omega pushers. DSC08142.thumb.JPG.99f4736d8bb27787be0496f709efcec0.JPG

This is how the parts look. Not sure they stay in there and i have to remove the circiut on the movement so i can tighten it up properly? Or maybe use some kind of thead looking? What do you think? DSC08144.thumb.JPG.eaae00c0263c9a775d7f8600a20f3d0e.JPG

Would be a bad idea to replace the pusher gaskets and the crown as the seem to have done it's best. BUt where do i find a new crown with breitlig logo?

Working again . Crystal is not aligned? But that is not anything i will do anything about. And i am not going to work on this kind of watches again. Pain in the .... 

The movement had a special locking screw that i couldn't transfer from the old to the new. But i works good when i crank down the case back. 

I will loctite the pushers when i see that the watch works okay.

    • H Watch Repairers—is there is a ‘standard format’ for the service marks or codes lightly engraved inside cases of pocket watches or wristwatches?   Sometimes I can see there might be a reference to year/ month but other times am confused. I’ve included an image of the rear of a 1951 Hamilton 992B Railroad pocket watch as an example. Thank you for all information you can give, Mike
    • Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike
    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here

Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
