I was taken to the woodshed for posting a link in the forum, so I'm not sure how to get the information to you. There is a supplier in the USA who has a yellow one and a pink one. It is difficult to tell the color you need from the picture. The name of the supplier is Otto Frei and they are in Oakland, CA, USA. I hope this doesn't get redacted. This, in no way, is intended to be self promotion, advertising, etc. I'm only attempting to help a fellow watchmaker searching for parts. Good luck in your quest!

I don't think we are that hard in here? I have posted link before and never got an reprimand for that? 

Ofrei on the other hand is hard to post link from. The have some kind of filter or stop you from copying the pages. 

i do think cousinsuk have them also. Black letters on gold or silver. 

They aren't cheap . But which Omega part is that?

Well I've been publicly tarred and feathered on other forums but have found WRT members to be quite forgiving when it comes to failures of etiquette.

Looks like it's part 750-1516.

I was awarded one penalty point by a moderator for posting a link. I don't know how many you can accumulate before some dire punishment is meted out.

Regardless, I will continue to try to help this dying breed. We will all be combing eBay if Swatch is successful. There will be no need to post links because there will no longer be any parts suppliers.

Cheers!

It was me and I made a mistake. I have since emailed you apologising. 

It is a co-incidence that the owner of the website you posted has the SAME email domain you registered with here at WRT. That was not Otto Frei but another website I had never heard of, and it was not a stretch for me to put two and two together - albeit wrongly. I have since looked further at that domain and realised that it is one of an ISP with many shared customers and co-incidentally you and that website owner must use that same ISP.

 

 

To the OP - sorry for going off topic, we shall steer it back now [emoji4]

      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.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      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.
