here is the issue...an ETA 2824-2......all is wonderful...until i tighten down the auto bridge.. then i can no longer handwind the movement...the crown will not turn at all....with it removed or just lying loosley the movement i can hand wind the movement just fine..all reversers working without issue....the watch is timing  quite well...no issues with that...i did a cleaned/oil/adust...fresh-mainspring..once that auto bridge is tightened....crown stops rotating....i did swap a winding pinon for an eta 2167 or such....however i don't think this would cause a problem since handwinding is fine....thanks i am so frustrated...

Is the auto working before you screw it down? Are you sure you are using the correct screws because it sounds as if this could be the problem. Make sure the auto wheels are meshing correctly and are free; sometimes the two very small wheels need a very tiny drop of oil because I have found in the past they tighten up. I think it is a screw problem so check that first. Let us know how things go.

When you lay down the auto bridge manual-wind the watch a bit. The wheels teeth will mesh together and you will hear it go in place.

If you have tightened the crews all the way, you might have bent something.

      Kalle Slaap said he is visiting London this week in order to see the exhibition. I was keeping an eye open, hoping to meet him.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
