ETA 2824 calendar not jumping

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I am finishing up an ETA 2824 service, but now have an issue with the calendar not jumping. In the picture it should be clear that the jumper spring does not force the jump. What I did that probably caused this was put a little D5 on the calendar ring teeth. I tried cleaning that off again, but it still does not jump.

 

Any ideas?

1- check that the date ring is perfectly flat (lay it on a mirror or similar)
2- check for friction marks anywhere, bent teeth,
3 (possibly should be 1) check that you've used the right screw for the set lever spring, if the head is touching the bottom of the date ring, it'll lock it up solid..

I personally use a grease on the date teeth, greasing the jumper once every 10 teeth

What can happen and has happened to me is if you fit the wrong screw when assembling the escape side it is proud on the dial side and stops the calendar ring moving.

I had one issue with the parrot-beak-like wheel that pushes the calendar wheel tooth (and is connected with the hour wheel) - the beak was worn out (part 38 - Date indicator driving wheel) - it wasn't pushing the date wheel tooth enough.

I second what Matabog said.
Looks like the calendar work here is more or less the exact same set up you see in the common quartz 955 series. And that is a known semi-common problem with those, the hook inside that part is practically completely hidden in the 955 so I was instructed to know that ahead of ever coming across it. Looks like you've got a bit more visibility with the 2824, which might make it easier to confirm.

I highly doubt lubrication would cause that sort of effect, as you are supposed to lubricate the teeth (or at least the calender jump spring) with D5 or some equivalent according to the tech sheets, last time i checked. but all the things others are saying sound like good places to look.

Hi guys, 

Turned out the problem was actually that the setting lever spring / plate was not lying completely flat, making the calendar ring rub against it. 

When that was corrected, everything was smooth again.. Another stupid error and learning experience...

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
