Hi everyone, 

I own a Victorinox which has a lose hand, it got deatached somehow, I think because of a small fall. 

Foyself a tool for opening the back of the case (I am really noob at this) but that is as far as I could go since I dont see any of the deataching levers shown in most of the tutorials on the internet.

I attached images of the watch so you can point me which screw/lever/pin/whatever should be moved in order to remove the crown. If it is something very critical that could damage the clock I will take it to a specialized place, but I really would like to do it myself.

Thanks, and greetings from Uruguay

You should be able to pull the stem out to the time setting position. Then, check inside the hole indicated by the red arrow. You should be able to press gently in there with a piece of pegwood while gently pulling on the stem to remove.

sstakoff, thanks a lot for your quick reply, as soon as I get home today I will try it that way. 

For placing it back what procedure should I perform?

To install, insert the stem until you feel resistance. Then depress the tab within the same hole as before - gently. As you depress, gently push and turn the stem until it is seated. If you feel like you're using too much force, then you probably are! Be careful as you could damage the movement.

Kind of related, you may want to get a strap of the correct size, to avoid future damages. 

Also be cautious with the pale green and orange 'coils' they're very sensitive and easy to damage.

Ok, done, watch is fixed now, thanks you for the help!

Actually I was not wearing the watch when it fall, and I wasn't using it because I couldn't find a strap here in my country... As a country that has more cows than people it sounds pretty weird, but I saw no leather straps anywhere, just chinese fake leather ones...

The new strap is arriving from the US in a couple of days. And I was very careful with the coils not to even touch them. Thanks for the advice

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Thanks, ManSkirtBrew.  I started looking for a setup like yours and ran across this.  It was about half the price of the JKA Feintaster (depending on what auction you were in), and it's a Bergeon.  I bought it because I thought the price was fair (eBay - Buy it now), and I'm a sucker for vintage tools. It also has a table, so it should be easy to use for measuring jewels. I wonder if the the contact points can be changed out. Bergeon seems to manufacture new tables and accessories for the contemporary dial version. What do you guys think of it? I'm sorry this post seems to have taken a detour. I'm new here so let me know if I should start a new topic.

      Winding pinion making

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      This is a flying cutter, usual one. The cutter itself is shown in the pictures in the first message, it is made of broken tungsten carbide drill bit. I asure that all the angles of the cutter are as they should be. I have video - little older one - that I made when onse making the same kind of winding pinion for a Poljot 2200, which is even smaller than this one. It is not easy to see in the video, but the tool rest moves about 1mm towards the object in Y direction and then returns back untill cutter is rotating. Then the spindle is rotated one tooth ahead and everything repeated untill all teeth are cut.

      After a bit further research could it possibly be an AS 970?

      FHF70 balance jewels settings

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      Latest project was a non-running ebay purchase with an FHF70 movement. I stripped and cleaned it, reassembled it, and got it running. So far so good, nothing damaged AFAIK.  I was oiling the top jewel on the balance (the one in the cock) which was a slightly unusual shock setting. I removed the spring (3 leaves) which was part of a chaton holding the cap jewel. This left the hole jewel behind which I retrieved with rodico and then lost it. I was taking it off the rodico, very gently as I thought, with tweezers, and then it just disappeared.  Fast forward a week, I got a donor movement, non-running, with the plan to just take the shock jewel that I’d lost. It was the same movement but had standard incabloc settings, and was steel rather than copper/brass.  I changed the cock and balance complete and it ran, not very well. I switched the lower jewel setting, cleaned and oiled both jewels and the replacement balance. Without the pallet fork the balance swings very nicely with a puff of air. With the fork in place, balance out, it flicks side to side nicely with power in the mainspring.  Put them together and it doesn’t run. The impulse jewel sits in the fork and it stops.      Any suggestions how I proceed? In case you didn’t follow that I have 2 FHF70 movements, nothing broken as far as I can tell, but mixing up the balance wheels and jewel settings results in a non runner.

      Oh and this almost perfect third wheel pivot and slightly set mainspring  Ah ok yes i see what you mean, good idea. I'll try that if i fluff this one up. The image isn't great quality but i like the idea though.
