Hi all. I have wanted a jump watch for ages and picked this up cheap . It won’t run, I think it’s dirty which I can sort , but also I can’t see the ratchet for the main spring . It has failed or is missing , any ideas 961aba1e0fb08f6cd7c1cdf224c7ac83.jpg

Looks like it's missing, or is broken...Baumgartner 582. I might have one in spare parts...but show a pic if its broken and the piece is under the wheel anyway.

Its missing then. The click spring sits underneath the ratchet gear and you would see it in this place:

Congratulations. Step one has been successfully completed. Now you know what you need to replace, but that doesn't mean everything else is OK, but let's hope so. I'll look to see if I have a click spring for the 582.

This one is broken. I found a picture of another one that is also bent but still complete:

The click spring holds the  ratchet wheel that keeps the arbor and mainspring from uncoiling after you've put power into the mainspring...i.e winding the watch.

Most watches have a 'click' that locks the ratchet wheel from allowing the mainspring to unwind between winds and in general running, and a separate component, a  spring that pushes it into place to do so, this is a click and spring in one component.

Yes thanks for pointing out that fact. This is a click and spring in one.

Well boys, this is a momentous occasion , after recking about 8 raketas , I have finally stripped a non working watch , cleaned rebuilt and got it working (still need a ratchet) this is so satisfying , wanted a d5fbbf08b83fafa116f5698c8ed0bc08.jpgjump watch for ages and now it’s my first repaired watch

    • Looks that way, if it had any amount of significant jewel count it would say so on the dial.    Looks that way, if it had any amount of significant jewel count it would say so on the dial.  Same answer as Mike regarding the dial, its often just a slapped on name of a retailer but i thought you were way above this understanding Pete ?
    • Light naptha is what you need to be looking for. The carbon to hydrogen ratio is high with heavy naptha, it doesn't evaporate as well as light naptha and is prone to leaving more residue. Try tom's suggestion of the mirror test.
    • Its a big item Michael and a lot that could go wrong with the process of getting it to its new location. I once helped install one of these units into a conservatory that i had built. It was big and bloody heavy and took six of us to get it in safely. If you have sliding doors and you need to remove the whole frame then that may or may not go well. But i would advise getting a professional in if you have little knowledge on the installation of them. The glazing of the doors could well be 6mm laminated glass which again will be heavy very heavy if the glazing units are big. The glass would also need to be set up and packed correctly to open the doors properly more so if they are unframed and the sliders are upvc. Seems a shame but if no one is biting and that may be due to having no warranty i guess the only takers might be someone that installs them for a living and knows how to repair. If its fibreglass just be careful, i sometimes have to cut fibreglass baths out and they are nasty to work with . Thick gloves are definitely recommended,  not fun picking out fibreglass spells two days later that have started to go septic. Good luck with it all matey.
    • I don’t know anything about this product, however assuming you have it if you put a drop on a mirror or piece of glass lying flat on a table and leave it to evaporate if it leaves any sort of residue it is not really suitable for watch part cleaning.   Tom
    • Well I put the spa on Gumtree (selling service) to try and sell it as it only needs a recirc pump to get it going. However, it weighs circa 250kg, so there's 4 fairly strong guys, and I would have to remove the sliding door in the room completely to be able to get it out, as well as clearing out a multitude of potted plants and the Alfresco outdoor setting to be able to get it out. Then move nearly everything in the back of the garage to be able to push it through to the front of the house. I would also need to hire furniture skates to be able to shift it around as carrying it is out of the question. Then someone would need a trailer to get it to their place as you won't get it on the back of a ute. So, the only answer is, out with the reciprocating saw and cut it all up into manageable pieces. Crying shame as it is in really good nick. I was only asking $1,500 and only got two bites, but it would only take something to go wrong with removing the sliding door etc that everything I make on the sale could go out the door on repairs etc. It would have been nice to be able to turn it into tools etc, but que sera sera. I don't know about the rest of the world, but there just seems to be very little interest from people wanting to buy things secondhand.
