Help with this jewel please


Recommended Posts

The shock spring rotates and it releases here. However be very carful using peg wood to steady otherwise it will fly away. There is a specific tool that can be purchased for this job or you can make one with peg wood. The jewel then can be removed for cleaning using Rodico.

The lubrication you require is Moebius 9010. There are lots of vids on YouTube re-lubrication of watch jewels Mark has many showing the procedure. However found this that deals specifically with the shock jewels.

Looks like a shok jewel on russian movement . Vostok maybe? 

Oh my word. Spot on it is! You certainly know your movements. I Han spent all this evening thoroughly painstakingly cleaning all the parts with lighter fuel and rinsing in alcohol. Now in going to resEarch correct lubrication before I reassemble again. The last 2 jewels I plan to lubricate are the top and bottom balance wheel jewels.

Does anyone have a schedule or diagram showing the lube points for a Vostok movement please?

Kind regards

No, those screws hold the entire antishock assembly - only take them out if there is dirt in there

Before reading you reply - I took out the 2 screws and removed the whole assembly. Will reassembly be awkward now?

Please see the links below. They aren't official diagrams but still useful. The following paragraph is basically a bit advice to any future readers new to watch repairing (so nothing personal).

You can service it like any other mechanical watch. If you want or need a truly great watch servicing course I do recommend watchrepairlessons.com. It contains everything (and a lot more) of what you need to know. I started out without the course and serviced several Vostok 24XX movements using the service notes found in the below links. However, without the proper training that I later got from watchrepairlessons.com, I really can't say I that I did a very good job, among other things, over oiling and doing things in a less than optimal way.

Could I kindly ask for advice on how to disassemble, clean, oil and safely reassemble this type of jewel please. The movement is a sekonda

That looks very much like a Vostok 24XX movement. In the "Vostok 2409 Service Walkthrough" thread, you'll find all the information you need to handle that type of anti-shock spring.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
